New York Mets x KPOP Demon Hunters Theme Night Set for August 15th

The New York Mets and Netflix's KPOP Demon Hunters are teaming up for a special theme night on August 15th. Here's what you need to know...

As much as we want to have some fun at the New York Mets' expense (you have no idea how much it pains us not to), we're going to cut the team some slack for two reasons.

The Mets are doing just that on Saturday, August 15th, when they take on the Washington Nationals, as the MLB team celebrates the global phenomenon that is Netflix's KPOP Demon Hunters (and also hosts Korean Heritage Night). If you're one of the first 15,000 in attendance, here's the KPop Demon Hunters Mets jersey you'll be walking away with:

Netflix's KPOP Demon Hunters had a "golden" night at the 98th Oscars, with the hit film walking away with the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

After their blazing performance, Lionel Richie would come out to present the award for Best Original Song – and it would be "Golden" walking away with the Academy Award and a place in the record books as the first K-pop song to walk away with the big prize.
