KPop Demon Hunters ends with a major twist about its main character Rumi, she is part demon. Throughout the film, Rumi struggles with her identity, hiding her demonic side with the help of her adoptive mother, Celine. It is later revealed that Rumi’s father was a demon, and her mother, a former hunter, died when Rumi was just a baby. This discovery nearly breaks her bond with fellow Huntrix members Mira and Zoey.

Despite this, Rumi’s journey is about self-acceptance. She learns to embrace both sides of herself, which helps her gain control over her powers. This also draws empathy from Jinu, the film’s sympathetic antagonist, who is also half-human and half-demon.

Jinu, who once made a deal with the demon king Gwi-Ma, shows deep regret over his past. He wants Gwi-Ma to erase his humanity, but his connection with Rumi changes him. In the final battle, Jinu sacrifices himself to save Rumi from Gwi-Ma. His spirit remains just long enough to help Rumi push back Gwi-Ma and build a new Hanmoon, a magical barrier that protects Earth from demons.

Although Gwi-Ma is forced back, the new Hanmoon is blue, not gold, hinting that the danger isn’t completely gone. This ending leaves the door open for a possible sequel.

Here’s what the ending means

The ending leaves several threads open. While two Saja Boys, Mystery and Abs, are killed, Romance and Baby are not shown dying. They could return in a future film, as per ScreenRant. There is also a mystery around Rumi’s parents, especially her demon father, who may still be alive. A sequel could explore his backstory and how her parents met.

KPop Demon Hunters also touches on themes of self-acceptance and friendship. Rumi confronts Celine’s belief that she must reject her demon side. Mira and Zoey also deal with their own fears, and their bond with Rumi is tested. In the end, their unity helps them stand strong against Gwi-Ma.
