Netflix’s animated movie KPop Demon Hunters has become a global sensation since its release on June 20, 2025. The film follows Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, a K-pop girl group who secretly fight demons to protect the world. While the movie delivers thrilling action and catchy songs, fans are left with several unanswered questions about the characters and story.
What Are Mira and Zoey’s Full Backstories?
The movie focuses heavily on Rumi’s past as the daughter of a demon hunter and a demon. However, Mira and Zoey’s backgrounds remain mostly unexplored.
“This was Rumi’s story, and we have backstories for Zoey and Mira – ones that we actually put in the movie, but it just kind of rejected it. It just wasn’t the movie for those stories.” – Maggie Kang, co-director of KPop Demon Hunters
Zoey struggles with her identity as a Korean-American, while Mira is described as the “black sheep” of her family. Fans hope a sequel will reveal how they became demon hunters and how they met Rumi.
What Really Happened to Rumi’s Mother?
Rumi’s mother, Ryu Mi-yeong, was a legendary demon hunter who had a child with a demon. She later died, leaving Rumi to be raised by her friend Celine. However, the movie never explains how she died.
Deleted storyboards posted online show Rumi’s parents in a happy relationship before something went wrong. Was she killed by other hunters? Did her demon lover betray her? Fans want answers about her tragic fate.
Is Jinu Still Alive After His Sacrifice?
Jinu, the leader of the demon boy band Saja Boys, starts as a villain but later helps Rumi. In the climax, he sacrifices himself to stop the demon king Gwi-ma, giving his soul to Rumi.
His spirit pets, Derpy the tiger and Sussie the bird, appear in the final scene, hinting he might return. Since his soul is inside Rumi’s weapon, could he come back in a sequel?
Do the Fans Know Rumi Is Part Demon?
At the end, Rumi reveals her demonic marks to the world. The movie doesn’t clarify if her fans understand what they mean. Were they hypnotized by the Saja Boys, or do they accept her true identity?
A poster shows Rumi with her marks, suggesting she isn’t hiding anymore. But the film leaves it unclear how much the public knows about demons and hunters.
Is Gwi-ma Really Gone for Good?
The demon king Gwi-ma is defeated, but fans doubt he’s truly gone. Mira mentions that demons return to suffer with him in the underworld when killed.
Since demon hunters keep reappearing in each generation, Gwi-ma might return in future battles. The movie’s ending leaves room for more threats, possibly setting up a sequel.
Fan Reactions and Hopes for a Sequel
Many fans are demanding answers through social media.
“I need a sequel ASAP! What happened to Jinu? Will the Saja Boys come back? So many questions!” – Twitter user @KpopHunterFan
“The movie was amazing, but I wish they explained more about Rumi’s parents. Her mom’s story sounds so interesting!” – Reddit user DemonHunterLover
With its mix of music, action, and mystery, KPop Demon Hunters has left fans eager for more. Netflix has not yet confirmed a sequel, but the unanswered questions suggest the story isn’t over.
