The Rise of Saja Boys in Kpop Demon Hunters
In the movie, Saja Boys isn’t just a boy band, they are actually demons in disguise. The main character, Jinwoo, strikes a deal with the demon Gwi-ma to erase the painful memory of losing his family. As a result, he disguises himself as a K-pop idol along with four others, forming the five-member group Saja Boys. Their debut song Soda Pop is first performed in a surprise street concert, capturing hearts immediately. Their mission? To stop HUNTR/X from spreading chaos, all while pretending to be Korea’s newest idol group.
