"Derpy is a supernatural tiger from the underworld based on the babo horangi, a figure from Korean traditional folk painting (minhwa) from the Joseon era."

The character's folk art roots add a layer of cultural depth to the toy, distinguishing it from typical licensed sets. Lego's decision to produce the set ahead of competitors suggests confidence in the franchise's staying power, though neither Mattel nor Hasbro have announced plans for their own KPop Demon Hunters products, as noted by Bleeding Cool.
