The latest creation from Sony Animation and Netflix, KPop Demon Hunters has the whole world in a chokehold right now. Though it’s primarily a kids’ movie, it’s safe to say that adults are just as, if not more obsessed with Huntr/x and the Saja Boys. Even non-K-pop fans have shared their love for this film. Other than incredible music, amazing storytelling, and great animation — one thing this movie does right is fashion. It might sound odd, given the film is an animation; however, it captures the K-pop fashion in their outfits to great effect. So, we are looking at the best stage outfits we saw in KPop Demon Hunters.
Like any real-life K-pop band, the movie characters also wore coordinated outfits for stage performances and events. From the starting track “How It’s Done”, it’s crystal clear that Huntr/x slay demons in style, while the demon boyband Saja Boys are not going down without a fight. They may not be as rich as the girls, or have a 12-storey wardrobe, but their outfits are still eye-catching. Fans are already planning their Halloween outfits inspired by KPop Demon Hunters, so choose which stage outfits you would like to try out with your friends.
All the stage outfits featured in KPop Demon Hunters, ranked
Saja Boys — “Soda Pop” or their regular outfits
This is the outfit we see the Saja Boys in for the first time. While performing “Soda Pop” and later even in their regular interactions, you can find them in these soft boy outfits. All of them are in skinny jeans paired with complementing shirts and sweaters. These outfits are fun, colourful, and easy to recreate. The colour scheme fits well with the summer vibe of the song and the pastel hues also go well with their dyed hair.
Saja Boys — Game show outfit
Pretty boys look great in pink and the Saja Boys have easily proven that. When the demon boyband went to play the Spicy challenge, all five of them wore pink-on-pink outfits and looked incredibly cute chugging hot sauce. Even for demons, stealing souls while looking adorable in pink outfits and stealing hearts of millions is diabolical, and the Saja Boys pulled it off to perfection.
Huntr/x battle fits
Huntr/x manage their double life with style. The pop star demon slayers tapped into their 12-storey designer wardrobe and put on one of the coolest black leather outfits when they first tried to kill the Saja Boys. Though they were unfortunately thwarted at slaying the Saja Boys, their outfits definitely slayed. The fits gave the girls a fierce, battle-ready look, and the glowing blades took their ensembles to the next level.
Huntr/x — “Golden” stage outfits
“Golden” is Huntr/x’s power song, and the stage outfits the girls pulled off for the performance are absolute fashion goals. With a combination of satin white and black with golden accents, there are two variants to the “Golden” outfits. While on-stage, Mir and Zoey wear black crop tops with white jackets and Rumi in contrast wears a white top with a black jacket. In the the “Golden” poster, however, Rumi has the same outfit, while Zoey and Mira’s outfits feature black jackets on black crop tops. Both variations look amazing and would actually make killer on-stage outfits in real-life too.
Huntr/x — “How It’s Done” outfits
Huntr/x kicked off the show with a boom by performing their opening track “How It’s Done”. With killer lyrics, raspy vocals, and stunning outfits, they made it clear from the first moment that they are not playing around. In this music video, all three girls rock street-style inspired outfits with peppy pizzazz. These are also the most colourful stage outfits worn by Huntr/x in KPop Demon Hunters. And the shoes they had on during this song? Absolute showstoppers.
Huntr/x — “What It Sounds Like” outfits
“What It Sounds Like” is the song through which the girls finally win their battle against the demon king Gwi-ma and restore the Honmoon. While singing the song, the girls hug each other and finally accept themselves despite their flaws and with their bond stronger than ever, the Honmoon gets sealed, and their outfits also get revamped. They are not entirely new outfits; these are revised versions of their “Golden” outfits in all white and gold. This version of the fits looks more polished and almost magical.
Saja Boys — “Your Idol” outfits
Even though Huntr/x is the group with an elaborate designer closet, Saja Boys takes the cake for having the best stage outfits in KPop Demon Hunters for “Your Idol”. While performing one of the best villain songs we have heard in a while, the demon boyband dressed to the nines in all-black outfits inspired by the Korean mythological figure, the jeoseung-saja, or the grim reapers. And the hat chains turned out to be the cherry on top. It may not look much in one look, but it fits the performance in the coolest way. And given the fact that the boys were trying to steal souls, and with their band name ‘Saja’ boys, it makes a lot of sense for them to wear outfits inspired by jeoseung-saja.
