As the soundtrack climbs playlists, fan edits flood social media, and calls for live performances grow louder, Arden Cho (Rumi) and May Hong (Mira) are already looking ahead — and a prequel exploring the origins of Huntrix is at the top of their wish list.
A Prequel Fans Are Already Demanding
The fandom isn’t waiting quietly. Viewers are asking for deeper backstories, early training stories, and the first demon battles that forged Huntrix into legends.
“I want to see how Huntrix became Huntrix,” Cho said.
“How they trained, how they met, what shaped them — all of it.”
A prequel could finally unlock the untold chapters: first encounters, broken friendships, sacrifices, and the moments that turned fear into power.
“I Was Crying Within Five Minutes”
Even after living inside the story, the final cut still hit hard.
“I was crying within the first five minutes,” Hong shared.
“Watching the animation, the voices, the music — it all came together in a way that felt magical.”
The film didn’t just entertain — it healed.
The Song That Stopped Everyone
The final track, “What It Sounds Like,” now plays like an anthem across fandom spaces.
“That’s when I cried,” Hong said.
“It feels like the world coming together.”
Why the Story Hits Everywhere
Under the fantasy and action, the message cuts deep: your so-called flaws are your power.
“All the difficult parts of you are actually your strengths,” Cho explained.
That truth has made the film feel personal, universal, and impossible to forget.
A Cinematic Universe Is Taking Shape
Between unresolved arcs, the Saja Boys’ fate, and rising fan demand, K-Pop Demon Hunters is quietly laying the foundation for a full cinematic universe.
“We need the cinematic universe,” Cho laughed.
And judging by the numbers, the conversation may already be turning into plans.
