KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

starring Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo
directed by Chris Appelhans, Maggie Kang

96 minutes

Rumi (Adren Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) collectively known as HUNTR/X, a KPop sensation and demon hunters are thrown for a loop when Gwi-Ma, the king of the demons, sends the Saja Boys to challenge them. Rumi hides a secret from her teammates that threatens to break up HUNTR/X. Jinu, leader of the Saja Boys, learns of Rumi's secret but uses it first to get close to her and the two meet a few times away from their respective teammates. Both try to lure the other over to their side. The showdown between the two groups occurs at the Annual International Idol competition.

Thoughts

The singing voices for the three members of HUNTR/X were voiced by Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey). I'm not familiar with any of the actors who voiced the major characters in this movie. Jinu is the only one of the Saja Boys who had much in the way of lines outside of singing.

Rumi's secret is revealed to the audience fairly early in the movie, but it isn't until towards the end that her teammates discover her secret. 

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It got to me in places. I loved the combination of the visuals and the music.
