HUNTRIX (officially styled HUNTR/X) is the K-pop girl group you never knew you needed — and now you absolutely cannot live without. At the center of Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation's smash-hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters, HUNTRIX are three ordinary-extraordinary girls living a double life: world-famous K-pop idols by day, supernatural demon hunters by night. No big deal, right?
The group — made up of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — aren't just putting on a show. Their K-pop performances literally ignite the souls of their audience, fueling a mystical protective barrier called the Honmoon that keeps soul-stealing demons from consuming the world. Every concert is a battle. Every song is a weapon. And their signature line says it all: "Mirror, mirror, who's the baddest? Us."
Released on Netflix in June 2025, KPop Demon Hunters rocketed to a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and a staggering 99% audience score — a testament to just how effortlessly HUNTRIX captured hearts worldwide. Critics called it "animated with infectious energy and vibrant colors" and praised its "terrific soundtrack." The fandom? Absolutely unhinged in the best way possible.
This is your one-stop fan guide to everything HUNTRIX. Pull up a chair, turn on "Golden," and let's get into it. ✨
Three girls, one unstoppable group, zero chill when demons are involved. Meet the icons of HUNTRIX:
The heart and soul of HUNTRIX. Rumi is the passionate, sometimes reckless leader whose emotional performances make the Honmoon shine brightest. Her story gets complicated when she develops feelings for Jinu — the enemy. Relatable? Extremely. Inadvisable? Also yes.
The cool, calculated one — until you put her in a Korean bathhouse with her best friends, and suddenly she's scream-laughing over snacks. Mira's sharp instincts and insane choreography make her the backbone of every HUNTRIX performance. Also allegedly involved in the Zoemira ship. No comment.
Pure chaotic good with a side of snacks. Zoey is the fan-favorite bundle of energy who "loves to stuff her face" and delivers the punchlines every scene. Don't let the goofiness fool you — when the demons come, she throws down harder than anyone. Icon behavior only.
Voiced by Yunjin Kim · Singing voice: Lea Salonga
The legendary former hunter who trains HUNTRIX and carries the weight of generational knowledge — with the vocal range to match. Having Lea Salonga as your singing voice is not something you brag about, because you can't even comprehend it.
HUNTRIX doesn't just perform — they weaponize music. Every song fuels the Honmoon and, more importantly, goes absolutely crazy hard. Here's everything they perform in the film:
| # | Song | When It Hits | Performed By | Vibes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | How It's Done | Opening (~5 min) | HUNTRIX | intro banger |
| 02 | Golden ⭐ | Early story (~13 min) | HUNTRIX | certified hit lyric video |

"Golden" is the HUNTRIX song. Catchy beyond all reason, featuring some of the warmest production in the whole film. Watch the official lyric video below — or open it on YouTube ↗.
By day, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey are the biggest K-pop stars on the planet — sold-out stadiums, screaming fans, the whole deal. By night (and sometimes also during the day, scheduling is hard), they hunt demons sent to consume human souls. Work-life balance? Never heard of her.
HUNTRIX's music isn't just catchy — it's literally supernatural. Their performances ignite the souls of their listeners, feeding energy into the Honmoon: an ancient mystical barrier that keeps the demon realm sealed away. Every concert is a ritual. Every sold-out show makes the world safer. Support live music.
Soul-stealing demons have been trying to tear down the Honmoon for centuries, and they've now sent their finest weapon — the Saja Boys — to infiltrate the K-pop world and destroy HUNTRIX from the inside. Classic villain move. Classic HUNTRIX W for surviving it.
The film's lore draws deeply from Korean shamanism and traditional Talchum mask culture, giving the demon designs a rich, authentic visual language. Director Maggie Kang specifically cited these traditions as inspiration. It's fun, it's smart, and it respects its cultural heritage. Good movie behavior.
Every iconic girl group needs a rival, and HUNTRIX has a whole demon boy band. The Saja Boys are the antagonists of KPop Demon Hunters — a supernatural boy group sent by the demon king Gwi-Ma (voiced by Lee Byung-hun) to destroy HUNTRIX and tear down the Honmoon.
Their leader is Jinu (voiced by Ahn Hyo-seop), who... may develop certain complicated feelings for Rumi. As one does when tasked with her destruction. Their songs ("Soda Pop" and "Your Idol") are certified slaps and the fandom has decided that both groups can be right simultaneously. Bold take, possibly correct.
Here's everything you need to know about KPop Demon Hunters, the movie that gave us HUNTRIX and changed lives:
"Animated with infectious energy and vibrant colors... jaunty family entertainment with a terrific soundtrack."
— Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus
The film opened to staggering popularity, catching merchandise companies so flat-footed with demand that partnerships were scrambled together after the fact. Notable collabs include:
A sing-along version of the film is also available for maximum participation energy.
The HUNTRIX fandom is alive, thriving, and completely unserious in the best way. Here's where to find your people:
Primary fandom hub. The #huntrix tag has 6,600+ followers and 21,000+ posts. #kpdh and #huntr/x are also active. The fan community includes a growing zine project (kpdhgoldenzine) and multiple dedicated group blogs.
Fan artists have gone absolutely feral (affectionate). Standout creators include lesly-oh, ikimaru, chaossmith2, hanavbara, ferenhights, and many more. A Gorillaz-style cast illustration and a Saja Boys Halloween piece earned 412K+ notes. The creativity is insane.
The fandom ships hard and ships often. Popular pairings include Zoemira (Zoey × Mira), Polytrix (the full trio, yep the whole group), and of course chaotic Rumi × Jinu content. No one is immune.
The HUNTRIX songs have inspired a wave of fan covers. Notable versions include "Your Idol — Huntrix Version" by MilkyyMelodies, a full metal cover of "How It's Done" by Jonathan Young, and covers by AmaLee and TheeOnlyJanessa.

HUNTRIX (officially HUNTR/X) is the fictional K-pop idol girl group at the center of Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters (2025). The trio — Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — are world-famous K-pop superstars who secretly hunt soul-stealing demons, using the supernatural power of their music to fuel an ancient barrier called the Honmoon.
HUNTRIX has three members: Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho, singing voice by EJAE), Mira (voiced by May Hong, singing by Audrey Nuna), and Zoey (voiced by Ji-young Yoo, singing by Rei Ami). Their mentor Celine is voiced by Yunjin Kim with Lea Salonga as her singing voice.
KPop Demon Hunters is available on Netflix. It premiered on June 20, 2025 and received a theatrical release on August 23, 2025. A sing-along version is also available on the platform.
HUNTRIX performs five original songs: "How It's Done" (opening), "Golden" (featured as an official Netflix lyric video), "Takedown" (covered in the end credits by TWICE), "Free" (a duet with Jinu), and "What It Sounds Like" (the climactic finale). The film also features licensed K-pop from TWICE, EXO, SUPER JUNIOR, MeloMance, and Seo Taiji and Boys.
"Golden" is the breakout HUNTRIX track from KPop Demon Hunters, performed by the group around the 13-minute mark of the film. Netflix released an official lyric video on the Netflix Family YouTube channel. It's widely considered the most instantly catchy song in the film and has driven significant fan engagement.

Yes! The film is rated PG and has a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics describe it as joyful, vibrant family entertainment. The demon designs are spooky-cool (drawing from Korean Talchum mask traditions) but never scary. Think fun adventure with incredible music, not horror.
KPop Demon Hunters was directed by Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang. Director Maggie Kang drew inspiration from traditional Korean shamanism and Talchum mask culture for the film's demon designs and supernatural lore.
The Honmoon is a supernatural protective barrier in the world of KPop Demon Hunters that keeps the demon realm sealed away from the human world. HUNTRIX's live performances literally ignite the souls of their audience members, channeling that energy into the Honmoon and keeping it strong. Essentially: attending a HUNTRIX concert saves the world. Priorities accordingly.
