Why Romance Saja is My Favorite Character to Color (+ Free Pages!)

After creating dozens of KPop Demon Hunters coloring pages, I've discovered why Romance Saja offers the most rewarding coloring experience. Here's my deep dive into his character design and why you should try coloring him too.

When I first started creating KPop Demon Hunters coloring pages, I thought all the characters would be equally fun to work with. Boy, was I wrong! After spending countless hours designing line art for the entire cast, Romance Saja has emerged as my absolute favorite character to color—and I think he'll become yours too.

What Makes Romance Saja Special?

Let me tell you about Romance Saja if you're not familiar with him yet. He's the heart-throbbing member of the demonic idol group Saja Boys—dreamy on stage with that signature pink wolf-cut and seductive charm that embodies every K-pop fan's parasocial love fantasy. But here's the twist that makes him so fascinating: beneath all that gloss, he's actually a calculating demon in disguise.

In the Netflix animated film, Romance appears as a minor antagonist who's part of the Saja Boys' scheme to siphon fan devotion from the heroines. The voice acting is spot-on too—Joel Kim Booster brings the speaking voice to life while SamUIL Lee handles the singing parts. This dual nature is exactly what makes him such a compelling character to color.

My Journey Creating Romance Saja Coloring Pages

When I first decided to create coloring pages for the KPop Demon Hunters universe, I started with the main characters—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey from Huntrix. They were fun to work with, don't get me wrong, but something was missing. Then I moved on to the Saja Boys, and that's when Romance Saja completely changed my perspective on character design.

The challenge with Romance is capturing his duality. How do you show both the dreamy idol facade and hint at the demon lurking beneath? After several iterations, I discovered that the key lies in the details—the way his eyes can shift from soft pink to that supernatural golden glow, how his expressions can be both charming and slightly unsettling.

"The best coloring pages aren't just pretty pictures—they tell a story. With Romance Saja, every line has the potential to reveal or conceal his true nature."

Why I Think You'll Love Coloring Romance Saja Too

After watching dozens of people color my Romance Saja pages (and getting tons of feedback), I've noticed some patterns that make him universally appealing to color:

First, his hair is a dream to work with. That signature pink wolf-cut isn't just stylish—it's practically designed for experimenting with shading and highlights. I've seen people go wild with everything from subtle rose gold gradients to bold neon pink statements, and they all look amazing.

Second, his wardrobe is incredibly versatile. Whether you're coloring him in casual streetwear or elaborate stage costumes, there's always something interesting to work with. The stage outfits especially give you permission to go completely over-the-top with colors and effects.

But here's what really sets him apart: his emotional range. Romance can go from charming smile to mysterious glare in the same image, and how you choose to color those expressions completely changes the story you're telling. It's like having multiple characters in one.

I've created quite a few Romance Saja coloring pages now, but there are two that I'm particularly excited to share with you. Each one captures a different side of his personality, and I think they showcase why he's such a fascinating character to color.

🖨️ Getting the Best Print Quality

Three Techniques That Changed My Coloring Game

When I first started coloring (yes, I color my own designs!), I was pretty terrible at it. But working with Romance Saja's character design taught me three techniques that completely transformed my coloring skills. If you're just starting out, these will help you too:

Gradient Shading

Start with light colors and gradually build up darker tones. Perfect for his hair and clothing folds.

Highlight Technique

Leave small areas white or use light colors to create shine effects on hair and eyes.

Blending Colors

Use circular motions to blend similar colors together for smooth transitions.

The Psychology Behind Romance's Design (Spoiler-Free!)

As someone who spends way too much time thinking about character design, I find Romance Saja absolutely fascinating from a psychological perspective. The creators did something really clever with his visual storytelling that most people miss on first viewing.

⚠️ Character Analysis (Spoiler-Light)

Physical Transformation

Romance's human guise features soft pink hair and dreamy pink eyes, but his demon form reveals golden eyes that hint at his supernatural nature. This duality makes him fascinating to color - you can choose to show his innocent facade or his true demonic self.

Personality & Role

His seductive persona isn't just for show - it's a calculated weapon used to drain fan energy for the Saja Boys' mission. This psychological manipulation adds depth to his character design.

Voice Acting

Brought to life by Joel Kim Booster's speaking voice and SamUIL Lee's singing voice, Romance embodies the perfect blend of charm and danger.
