Saja Boy’s and Huntrix, characters in K-Pop Demon Hunters

​This adventure is a story about a trio of K-Pop singers whose destiny is to unite everyone with their voices, and save the world from underlying demons.

​Whether you’re a fan or not of K-Pop or the movie at all, the songs have us all obsessed!

​While there isn’t an official ranking of all 7 most popular songs, our opinion is that coming in 1st place would be the song Golden. It’s the movie’s main theme, and it’s an energetic, and strong, symbolic tune.

​“Your Idol” is 2nd place for us, and it’s where the Saja Boys show their true colors. It’s a very powerful and hypnotic song, shown towards the end of the movie, and their performance is outstanding! This song is shown to set the mood of the acceptance that the Saja Boys won…or so we think…

​In 3rd place, it’s the very catchy song, “Soda Pop”. “Soda Pop” is the first appearance the Saja Boys make in the film, claiming their position in the competition.

​”Take Down” is our 4th in ranking. This song is shown in the movie during the toughest problem the Huntrix band had faced: with the Saja Boys’ rush to produce a new song, they scramble to manage their jobs and save the world, forgetting to address their inside relationships.

In 5th place is the song “Free”. This song represents the connection between the Saja Boys and Huntrix. It’s the only romantic song in the whole movie, played in the scene where Rumi and Jinu are at their most vulnerable states.

In 6th is “How It’s Done”. This is the movie’s first song encounter with the Huntrix group at the beginning of the film, setting the tone of our 3 girls and their attitudes towards their duties.

Last but not least, ranking in 7th place based on our opinions is the song “What it Sounds Like”. Since there are two versions of this song, it can get a little jumbled when interpreting the lyrics. While one song has more remorse, the other is full of complete hatred.

With that said, the film overall made it to our Top 5 Best Netflix Movies to Watch!
