Before KPop Demon Hunters reached its final form, a tender moment between Rumi and Jinu was pitched. Character designer Marion Bordeyne revealed on Instagram that, during the early stages of development, the team had planned a sweet, emotional scene between the two characters.

Sechrist, who happens to be married to Kang, is the veteran animator tasked with designing the cat who would be king of derps.

One of the most fascinating aspects of KPop Demon Hunters’ narrative (and its main source of conflict) is the fact that the protagonist, Rumi, is actually half-human and half-demon, despite being raised as a demon hunter who has defeated countless other demons throughout her life.
