Saja Boys

The **Saja Boys** are a fictional five-member K-pop boy group featured in the 2025 Netflix animated musical fantasy film *KPop Demon Hunters*. Created by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the group is portrayed as charismatic idols who secretly are demons working for the demon king Gwi-Ma. Their mission is to drain the energy and souls of their fans to weaken a magical barrier protecting humanity. The group’s name, "Saja" (사자), means "lion" in Korean and also alludes to the "jeoseung saja," the Korean grim reaper, reflecting their dual nature as fierce performers and sinister supernatural beings. The Saja Boys consist of five members: Jinu, Abby, Mystery, Romance, and Baby, with their music blending catchy bubblegum pop like “Soda Pop” and darker tracks such as “Your Idol,” highlighting their complex persona and story within the film.

The soundtrack from *KPop Demon Hunters* showcases the Saja Boys as a compelling mix of K-pop star power and mythological intrigue. Their song “Your Idol” serves as a pivotal moment in the film, revealing their true demon form with black hanbok-inspired outfits drawing on traditional Korean imagery of the grim reaper, while “Soda Pop” presents a vibrant, feel-good K-pop vibe. The group’s music has resonated strongly, charting impressively in the real world and rivalling major K-pop acts in popularity. Voiced and performed by a talented blend of Korean American and Asian American artists, the Saja Boys and their storyline have captured the imagination of fans, blending idol culture with fantasy storytelling in a fresh and unique way.
