K-pop Demon Hunters sequel could explore main characters’ backstories

  • Kang explained that these backstories were omitted from the initial 85-minute film due to time constraints, as the focus was primarily on Rumi's narrative.
  • Voice actors Arden Cho and Ahn Hyo Seop have expressed keen interest in reprising their roles for a follow-up, particularly to explore the fate of Ahn's character, Jinu.
