Introduction

The Saja Boys are a fictional five-member K-pop boy band featured in the animated film "KPop Demon Hunters." While presenting as a popular idol group, they are secretly powerful demons serving the Demon King Gwi-Ma, with the true mission of stealing human souls and siphoning pure emotions from their fans to empower their master. They serve as the primary antagonists and a foil to Huntr/x.

Name Significance

The name "Saja" carries a dual meaning in Korean, reflecting the group's deceptive nature. It directly translates to "lion," symbolizing power, pride, and a dominant presence on stage. However, it also abbreviates "jeoseung saja" (저승사자), which means "grim reaper" or "underworld envoy" – a chilling reference to their true purpose of collecting human souls.
