If ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ became a Live Adaptation, Who should be Cast?

The animated sensation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' has taken fans around the globe by surprise. With its stylish visuals, K-pop-infused energy, and engaging storyline, it didn’t take long before fans started matching their favorite idols to the film’s iconic characters. From bold leaders to mysterious rebels, here’s a fun rundown of which K-pop stars fans think would be perfect in each role.

Rumi

1. BLACKPINK Jennie: Poised, confident, and you can’t really deny that Rumi looks like an animated rendition of BLACKPINK Jennie during the “Kill This Love” era.


2. 2NE1 CL: A natural born leader, CL not only has the air of leadership, but her stage presence is unmatched. When CL takes the stage, all eyes are on her.


Mira

1. (G)I-DLE Yuqi: Maybe it’s the husky voice, but despite her cute appearance, Yuqi is known for her fierce loyalty and bold attitude. She’d bring real fire to Mira.

2. ITZY Chaeryeong: At first glance she may seem intimidating, but fans know she’s got a soft heart. Just like Mira, she’s tough on the outside, but gentle at the core.


Zoey

1. TWICE Chaeyoung: Creative and clever with her raps, Chaeyoung has all the energy and spark that fans associate with Zoey.


2. NewJeans Danielle: Zoey’s Western-American identity and bubbly personality mirror Danielle’s journey and vibe perfectly.

Jinu

1. Cha Eun Woo: No one fits the manhwa-hero mold better than Cha Eun Woo. With his visuals and elegance, he'd be a natural Jinu.

2. BTS Jungkook: He might look cool and composed, but Jungkook’s goofy and lovable nature would make for a perfect live-action Jinu.

Abs

1. ATEEZ San: His powerful build and intense charisma scream “Abs” in animated form.

2. MONSTA X Shownu: Many believe Abs was inspired by Shownu. Strong, composed, and visually fitting—it makes total sense.

Mystery

1. Stray Kids Felix: With his deep voice and magnetic presence, Felix fits the “mysterious but warm” energy that defines Mystery.

2. BTS V: His “DNA” era vibe matches Mystery’s look and energy closely. Stylish, aloof, and unforgettable.


Romance

1. TXT Yeonjun: With charm and a smirk to match, Yeonjun easily channels Romance’s flirty, smooth-talking energy.

2. GOT7 Jackson: Jackson has an infectious personality and the ability to win over anyone. He’d be a fan-favorite pick for Romance.

Baby

1. BTS Jimin: One glance is enough—Jimin and Baby share the same adorable, youthful vibe. A perfect match.

2. MONSTA X Joohoney: Fans went wild when Joohoney mimicked Baby’s line, “Goo-goo, gah gah.” He totally gets it.
