Saja Boys Album: KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack

The Saja Boys Album features the fictional villain K-pop boy group from the Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters," released in June 2025. Led by Jinu (played by Andrew Choi), the group includes members with K-pop stereotype names like Abs Saja (Neckwav), Baby Saja (Danny Chung), Mystery Saja (Kevin Woo), and Romance Saja (samUIL Lee).

The lead single from the Saja Boys Album, "Soda Pop" is described as a "bubblegum bop" similar to BTS's "Butter," created by The Black Label's team including KUSH, Vince, 24, Dominsuk, and Danny Chung. Despite its upbeat, addictive melody, the song masks a sinister message about control and manipulation, designed to weaken the Honmoon barrier that protects against demonic influences.

"Your Idol", the second track on the album, takes a darker approach, described as "dark and otherworldly" with a "heavy and brooding" yet "thrilling" atmosphere. The song features hypnotic choreography and striking visuals including black hanboks and traditional horsehair hats that reference Korean mythology's "jeoseung saja" (death messengers). This track achieved remarkable commercial success, becoming the highest-charting K-pop boy group song on US Spotify, surpassing BTS.

In the film's narrative, the characters featured on the Saja Boys Album are revealed to be demons disguised as K-pop idols, using their music to control fans and weaken the Honmoon barrier. Their performances feature mesmerizing choreography and visuals designed to enhance their supernatural control over audiences. This contrasts with HUNTR/X, who use their music to strengthen the barrier and protect humanity.

What makes the Saja Boys Album particularly compelling is how it serves as the perfect counterpoint to HUNTR/X's heroic anthems. The musical battle between these groups drives the central conflict of the KPop Demon Hunters story, with each song advancing the narrative while standing as a legitimate K-pop track in its own right.

Despite their villainous role, the Saja Boys have developed a dedicated fanbase both within the film's universe and among real viewers. Their complex characterization, impressive vocal performances, and the undeniably catchy music featured on the Saja Boys Album have made them standout characters in the KPop Demon Hunters world.
