How 'K-pop Demon Hunters' made Saja Boys' soul-stealing 'Your Idol' performance
With traditional gat, glowing eyes and a lethal dose of K-pop attitude, the performance of Saja Boys' soul-stealing Your Idol in Netflix's breakout hit K-pop Demon Hunters is the moment that keeps both hypnotised audiences and viewers obsessed, just like the lyrics say. From the candy-colored energy of Soda Pop to a dramatic turn into sleek, jet-black silhouettes, the fictional boy band's transformation reveals their true selves in full demon form. The villain anthem's music video has racked up 11.8 million views on YouTube as of Friday, and the soundtrack currently sits at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the film's fictional girl group Huntrix's Golden following at No. 81 as of Tuesday. The fictional K-pop boy group is made up of 'jeoseung saja,' or Korean grim reapers. Director Maggie Kang, who co-directed the film with Chris Appelhans, says the vision for that mesmerising scene was there from the very beginning. The idea of a K-pop boy group made up of 'jeoseung saja,' or Korean grim reapers, was one of the earliest concepts in development. 'It was the first idea that came to mind when the concept of demons came together with K-pop,' Kang told The Korea Herald on Thursday. 'The jeoseung saja look – the black gat with all-black attire – felt like a very iconic image (but) we haven't seen in animation. So it was definitely something I wanted to feature in the movie. And of course, these guys would be the villains. There was no question.' And because Jinu – the leader of the Saja Boys and the film's main male character – is 400 years old, Kang said she wanted the Your Idol performance to have a more traditional look. the 'Your Idol' performance a far cry from the earlier candy-coloured 'Soda Pop'. 'This is also the moment where the Saja Boys reveal their true selves. There is no more hiding their true nature or their true image, so they are in their demon form,' said Kang. 'We took this idea and modernised it, but the look is generally quite traditional. That was our inspiration.' Creating the performance was not just about historical nods; it also had to be a full-fledged K-pop spectacle. And like a concert director staging a comeback show, Kang carefully shaped the visual flow. The colour palette, in particular, tells its own story. 'This is the moment the Saja Boys are luring the audience to the underworld, so we leaned heavily into the demon color, which we establish in the movie as this vibrant magenta,' said Kang. The deomon king Gwi-Ma is voiced by Lee Byung-Hun The performance begins with more blues and greens, the colors of the demon world where we first meet Jinu at the beginning of the movie. Then comes the visual crescendo: stark silhouettes in black set against a red-hot backdrop, and finally, purple flames of Gwima, the demon king who thrives on the souls of humans, appear as a visual effect. 'For the last stage that starts with Baby Saja's rap, we start to really push the magenta because this is when Gwima bursts into our world and is taking over.' Kang said it was important that every moment carry both narrative weight and concert-level flair. '(Story-wise,) this is also a concert, so at every stage we pushed everything to look very K-pop and have the spectacle of a real concert or music video,' she said. 'Everything had to serve the story of the moment first, but it also needed to have the cool, fashion editorial feel. It was all very challenging to do, but worth the effort, and I believe we pulled it off.' K-pop Demon Hunters is about a trio of K-pop stars who moonlight as demon hunters at the same time. In the two weeks following its release on June 20, the film has made waves. Its soundtrack and music videos have climbed the charts, K-pop idols have uploaded song covers and dance challenges featuring Huntrix and the Saja Boys' choreography, and related merchandise is flying off the shelves. For director Kang, the response has been both overwhelming and deeply meaningful, especially from Korean audiences. 'I worried a lot about what Koreans would think about this movie, if I was representing our culture correctly, whether I was the right person to make this kind of movie. So to see all this love for the film … I couldn't be more thankful,' she said. 'It's been great to see people who are not fans of K-pop, or don't know anything about it, become fans of the film. It really goes to show you that if you put passion and love into something, it can appeal to a bigger audience.' – Hwang Dong-hee/The Korea Herald/Asia News Network

Streaming Saturday: KPop Demon Hunters
There's been a hot new animation film on Netflix that's trending all over social media. While Netflix doesn't always deliver hits, there is a selection that surprises people. One of them is Kpop Demon Hunters. Many have raised an eyebrow over the title, but the film has since been making waves on different parts of the internet. That said, is this film worth the hype? What is the Film About? In KPop Demon Hunters, the spotlight follows a fierce and stylish K-pop girl group who live double lives—not just as global music sensations, but as secret protectors of humanity. As they juggle world tours, rising fame, and friendship, a darker force threatens to break through a mystical barrier that has long kept the world safe. When a rival boy band with a dangerous secret begins to rise in popularity, the group must confront hidden truths, inner conflict, and the power of their voices—both musical and personal. What is Good About the Film One of the standout elements of the film is its art and animation. Even from the trailer, it was clear we were in for something visually striking—bright, expressive, and fluid. With Sony Pictures Animation behind it, it's no surprise the film has such a distinct and memorable look. Each character feels unique, not just in design but in how much personality shines through their expressions and movements. Think of it as a combination of 3D animation with 2D style and comic expressiveness. Another amazing element of the film is its music. Before the film was officially released, one of the songs slipped through. Since it was posted on YouTube, the song 'How it's Done' has garnered over 19 million views. Other songs in the films have also garnered millions of views, and one particular song sparked a dance trend on TikTok. Other than its animation and music, the characters carried the film in various ways. Without spoiling anything, the friendship between the main characters was a highlight to watch for the entirety of the film. Furthermore, almost all of the characters in the film were memorable in different ways, and this applies to the side characters, not just the protagonists and antagonists. What Brought Down the Film While the film has a lot going for it, there are a few areas where it could've been stronger. One of the main things is how certain plot points were handled. The overall story is solid and wraps things up without leaving any major loose ends, but some parts definitely could've used a bit more time to breathe. Take the lore, for instance—there's a section that hints at something really intriguing, but it feels like it was toned down or rushed a little just to keep the main plot moving. Another point is the character development of Mira and Zoey. True, they are distinct, and we see some aspects about them, but it feels like we didn't get to dig as much into what makes them who they are as the film did with Rumi. A little more time spent fleshing them out would've made their moments hit even harder. The same goes for some of the antagonists, who show real potential but don't get as much time in the spotlight as they could have. All in all, a few extra minutes here and there might've gone a long way in making the plot feel more layered and the characters even more compelling. How the Film is Doing A lot can be said about the pros and cons of the film, but its performance speaks for itself. Since its debut, the film has gained popularity, debuting at #2 on Netflix's global Top 10 Movies chart with 9.2 million views in its first week. The film's soundtrack has been particularly successful, breaking into the Billboard 200 top 10 and becoming one of 2025's biggest animated music hits. Both critics and fans praised the film's dynamic visuals and catchy original songs, while the engaging storyline and strong character chemistry kept audiences hooked. What's The Verdict? On Rotten Tomatoes, KPop Demon Hunters holds an impressive 95% on the Tomatometer based on 37 critic reviews, reflecting widespread acclaim. Audiences have also responded positively, giving the film an 89% rating on the Popcorn Score from over 1,000 ratings. Meanwhile, on IMDb, KPop Demon Hunters has a solid user rating of 7.8 out of 10, based on over 18,000 ratings and 334 written reviews, indicating a strong and consistent response from viewers. From this reviewer, these are the ratings for this film: Art and Animation: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Story: 8/10 Characters: 8/10 Overall: 8.5/10 Related
