Romance Saja is a member of the Saja Boys and serves as a minor antagonist in KPop Demon Hunters. A demon in disguise, he adopts the persona of a charming K-pop idol to manipulate and lure fans away from the rival group HUNTR/X. With his polished image and flirtatious demeanor, Romance plays a key role in the group's deceptive appeal, masking his true intentions behind an alluring stage presence.
Appearance[]
Romance Saja is known for his graceful and androgynous appearance, standing out among the Saja Boys with a slim frame and long limbs that match the group's elegant aesthetic. His most striking feature is his long pink hair, uniquely styled to resemble a heart, complementing his slightly angular face and large, expressive pink eyes. His makeup includes subtle blush and delicate eye accents, enhancing his alluring idol persona.
In his demon form, Romance retains much of his overall shape and style, but his true nature is revealed through glowing yellow eyes, pale blue skin, clawed hands, and intricate demonic markings across his body.
Romance’s wardrobe shifts depending on the realm. In his human form, he typically dons a collared blouse with puffy sleeves, rings on both hands, a necklace, simple pants, and high-top shoes — blending traditional elegance with contemporary idol fashion. When in the Demon Realm, he wears a more ceremonial outfit: a black jeogori jacket layered with a jeonbok overcoat, tied with a sejodae sash, and finished with a traditional gat. During the Saja Boys’ performance of “Your Idol,” he fuses traditional and modern elements, wearing a sochangui overcoat and gat with updated idol wear.
Personality[]
Romance Saja is portrayed as the soft-hearted and flirtatious member of the Saja Boys, often leaning into his role as the group’s heartthrob. On stage, he exaggerates his charming persona with passionate poses, sultry gazes, and expressive gestures, frequently using his demonic powers to conjure glowing heart shapes mid-performance — much to the delight of unsuspecting fans.
Offstage, Romance maintains a laidback and almost whimsical demeanor. For instance, during the Saja Boys’ appearance on Play Games With Us, he tries to uphold his graceful image while barely containing his reaction to a scorching hot sauce challenge, striking elegant poses even as he sweats through the pain.
However, beneath the glamorous surface lies a sinister truth. Romance, like the rest of the Saja Boys, is a demon with no remorse for human suffering. Despite his flirtatious charm and seemingly soft personality, he is fully complicit in Gwi-Ma’s plans and works closely with Jinu to lure fans and steal their souls. His affectionate gestures and romantic energy are merely tools to manipulate and ensnare victims — proving that his sweetness is just another mask for his demonic nature.
