The Sony Pictures Animation film KPop Demon Hunters, released on Netflix in June, has quickly amassed viral success, partially off the sheer strength of a no-skip original soundtrack. Centering around Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who form K-pop girl group Huntr/x by day, and work as demon slayers by night. While the girls use their voices to protect the world from soul-eating demons (including a seductive new demon boy band, led by the charismatic Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop), these two fictional groups have inadvertently been slaying the charts and spawning idol merch in real life, from group t-shirts to fake Huntr/x lightsticks.
Huntr/x has quickly become the third most-streamed K-pop group in the world (beat out only by chart mainstays BTS and Stray Kids), with the film’s album landing as the highest-debuting soundtrack of 2025 on the Billboard 200 charts at No. 1, and the first to bow in the top ten this year. The soundtrack has even received five Grammy nominations for the 68th annual awards show that will take place in February 2026.
Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have frequently mentioned in interviews how the idols in KPop Demon Hunters took inspiration from the real-life K-pop groups — HUNTR/X was modeled after girl groups like Blackpink, Itzy, and Twice (three members of which, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, also sing the film’s main title song, “Takedown”), which the members of the demon boy band Saja Boys were inspired by groups like BTS, Stray Kids, and Bigbang.
With the massive success of the show and its soundtrack, these merch items are expected to be some of the most in-demand products of the 2025 holiday season. So if you want a chance to snag them before they sell out after Black Friday, now’s the time to shop. Explore the best KPop Demon Hunters gifts below that will have you feeling hotter than the Saja Boys.
Kpop Demon Hunters (Original Soundtrack) (CD)
The Twice trio recorded their own version of Huntr/x’s original diss track “Takedown” for this film’s soundtrack, and the group’s own song “Strategy” is also included in the film and on the album. Even if you’ve just had the Saja Boys’ infectious “Soda Pop” stuck in your head for weeks (we don’t blame you, us too), then you’ll want to order it now before it sells out ahead of the holidays. The CD comes with a fold-out poster and photo card (random 1 of 3), like a real K-pop album.

Jinu Inspired Kpop Demon Hunters Bracelet

Saja Boys Officially Licensed Sweatshirt
Jinu, Mystery, Abby, Romance, and Baby could probably steal our souls, and we’d thank them, and you can share your love for these bad boys on the block with this Saja Boys logo sweatshirt. The word “Saja” in Korean means lion (the same symbol on their fictional lightstick in the film), but when written in Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean), in can actually mean “grim reaper” in certain contexts — very befitting of these demonic idols. Available in two colorways and Small to XXL sizing.

Everyone loves “Derpy”, the tiger cat who acts as both a scout, messenger, and adorable pet for Jinu. Now you can keep this little cutie with you wherever you go with this hanging acrylic keychain. The double-sided design is finished with epoxy and measures 2.5″, with the demon kitty’s stare showing that the lights may be on, but there’s no one home up there.

Who said that?). Whether you’re front row at the tour or blasting your favorite track on repeat, this design lets everyone know you’re loyal to the fiercest band fighting against the underworld.
KPop Demon Hunters Save the Date + Hello Friend Note Cards
Jinu may not have had a real date in 400 years, but his adorable invitations (sent via “Derpy” mail) would certainly make anyone say “yes”. These minimalist 4″ x 3″ blank note cards are perfect for sending heartfelt messages to your special someone (secretly demon or not), inspired by the exchanges between Rumi and Jinu in the film.
