'KPop Demon Hunters' trivia and fun facts
Maggie Kang
According to co-director Maggie Kang, the Maltese tiger and magpie duo whose names were not revealed in the movie are named Derpy and Sussie, and the reason why they can travel between the human world and the demon world is because they are not demons, but Korean supernatural creatures. She based them on a famous Korean folk painting of the Tiger and the Magpie.
Saja Boys
There is a deeper meaning to the name "Saja Boys." The Korean word "saja" can mean lion and we see that their logo and branding include lion imagery. However, in Korean folklore "jeoseung saja" are grim reaper figures who escort the souls of the dead to the afterlife. Typical depictions of jeoseung saja show them wearing a black hanbok and a gat (wide brimmed hat) just like the Saja Boys in their demon forms.
Hunmoon
Hunmoon translates to "Soul door".
Golden
