Demons chase after villagers- but a voice cuts through the
attack.
11 CELINE (V.O.)
Until heroes arose to defend our
world.
The demons stop and turn around to see three women with
weapons atop a roof. They draw their weapons and begin to
sing, jumping off to save the villagers. They slay each demon
with ease.
11.3 CELINE (V.O.)
Born with voices that could drive
back the darkness.
The Hunters continue to sing, an energy forming between them
that spreads throughout the village, forming a barrier.
Demons try to push through but this barrier keeps them out.
11.4 CELINE (V.O.)
Singing songs of courage and hope.
ANCIENT KOREA - MANY YEARS EARLIER
The villagers who the Hunters have saved from the demons are
gathering together to hear their song.

But, hunters are more than
warriors. Our music ignites the
soul, and brings people together.
The Hunters continue to sing, an energy forming between them
that spreads throughout the village, forming a barrier.

forever: The Golden Honmoon.
A shot of the Golden Honmoon shining around the world.

passes it down the line to her girls. The demons try to

in a compact.
She tosses the compact to: Mira who is blowdrying her hair
mid air, and checks her reflection in the compact. She wipes
some lipstick off her teeth.
The compact travels to: Zoey who has a demon head-locked

The Mocking Proposal
INT. DEMON WORLD
On the opposite side of the Honmoon is an empty wasteland.
Demons sulk around, walking towards Gwi-Ma’s crumbling
palace. The pilot demon is back in the demon world, afraid to
go near Gwi-Ma’s palace but the patterns around his wrists
flare and suddenly he’s being pulled up towards the palace.
He lands in front of a tall black void.
1 GWI-MA
Let me guess...they got away again?
2 PILOT DEMON
The Hunters... t-they’re too
strong!
3 GWI-MA
I understand.
The pilot demon is thrown.
4 PILOT DEMON
Y-you... you do?
Gwi-Ma’s floating mouth appears in the black void, his voice
booms.
5 GWI-MA
I understand..you are weak.
The pilot demon cowers. His patterns FLARE. He is engulfed in
flames. His shame and patterns consume him. He screams in
pain as Gwi-Ma absorbs his soul.
7.4 GWI-MA (CONT’D)
Pathetic, useless... ALL OF YOU.
Gwi-Ma’s voice is terrifying. Demons continue to cower and
cry over their shame. Their patterns flare.
7.5 GWI-MA (CONT’D)
Don’t you idiots know? Once the
Hunters turn the Honmoon gold, it’s
over for us!
A simple haegeum melody interrupts the crying. Then a voice -
JINU (23, but technically 400 years old). You can’t see his
face but you can tell he’s HOT. He stands atop a tower and
floats down to join the other demons. A tiger, DERPY, follows
him as he moves through the crowd.
KPOP FULL SCRIPT - BUILD CONFORM 10/31/24 17.
8 JINU
There once was a mighty demon king—
Stop me if you’ve heard this one
before—
He was in total control. He feasted
on souls. The world trembled when
he roared.
But then some hunters sang some
songs. Now all he does is starve.
Can’t get at the souls, his flame
grows cold—
Just a whisper in the dark
(singing)
And will he let the fire go out? Is
this the end of him now?
Dying king with a crumbling crown,
Will he let the fire go out?
The demons look on, worried Jinu is only making things worse.
There is a sense of jealousy amongst the demons, as Jinu
effortlessly navigates the crowd. Jinu stops at the base of
Gwi-Ma’s palace, his black Saja hat still covering his face.
9 GWI-MA
I let you keep that voice, Jinu,
and you dare to mock me with it?
9.1 JINU
I’m not here to mock you. I’m here
to help you.
As Jinu walks up the staircase towards Gwi-Ma, he gathers
four other demons closely behind him.
9.2 JINU (CONT’D)
It’s time for a new strategy. We
fight the Hunters where they least
expect it.
He lines the demons on both sides of him. Jinu looks up,
finally revealing his face and yes, HE’S HOT.

the Honmoon... The fans.
Jinu and the Saja demons strike a pose, a classic boy band

hundred years, you’ve never done a
single thing that didn’t serve
yourself.
As Gwima speaks, Jinu’s patterns light up and he has a
disturbing flashback of a woman and child crying and reaching
for him. Jinu closes his eyes and shakes the memory out of
his head.

Rumi gets up and shakes it off. They enter society with
concerned looks. Music starts playing and we see shadows
appearing in smoke in the town square. The crowd pays
attention too. As the smoke dissipates, Jinu and the Saja
demons appear, singing and dancing!
SONG - “SODA POP”
JINU
Don’t want you, need you
Yeah, I need you to fill me up
마시고 마셔봐도

The crowd starts to get into it. Rumi realizes it’s the boys
from the alley!

It’s those stupid jerks again!
The crowd cheers! An old lady pushes past the girls, giddy
with excitement. She runs towards the boys but Jinu blows her
a kiss so powerful it pushes the crowd back!

You could be everything that
That I need, taste so sweet

The Saja Boys sing as Jinu whips out a tonic pouch and drinks
it...a little too sensually. The ladies in the crowd SWOON.

When you're in my arms,
I hold you so tight, so tight
Can’t let go no, no, not tonight

The boys are really delivering and Zoey can’t help but dance
to the song. The girls shoot her a look and she stops...but
moves her shoulders to the rhythm. Rumi joins her.
6 RUMI
It is annoyingly catchy, though.
Mira joins now.
7 MIRA
It’s infectious.
Romance Saja and Baby Saja blow kisses and hearts to the

Secrets Unveiled in Bukchon
EXT. BUKCHON VILLAGE - NIGHT
Derpy walks through the narrow streets of Bukchon-- a
historical village turned tourist attraction, lined with
hanbok rental stores.
Derpy stops in front of an ancient tiger statue and looks
behind him. Rumi peers from around a building. Derpy’s done
his job. He jumps into the statue, disappearing into the
Honmoon. Rumi looks up and see’s a silhouetted figure
standing on a rooftop - Jinu.
EXT. BUKCHON ROOFTOPS - NIGHT
Rumi stealthily makes her way up closer to him. His back
towards her, like a sitting duck. She summons her sword and --
-- SHWING! Jinu’s head is sliced off! As Rumi lands on the
other side of him, a head rolls next to her feet.
This isn’t Jinu. It’s a mannequin from one of the stores
below.
1 RUMI
What?
2 JINU
Wow. I wasn’t expecting a hug but--
Jinu is standing behind her. She acts quickly-- she spins
around and thrusts her sword. The tip of her sword stops just
millimeters away from Jinu’s throat.

Geez! Okay! Okay! Calm down! I

was wrong.
Rumi repeatedly swings her sword at him but misses.
5 JINU (CONT’D)
I just want to talk!
6 RUMI
Talk?!
7 JINU
-- about your patterns? But first I
want to talk about those pants.
Teddy bears and choo choo trains?
Really?
Rumi looks down to see she hasn’t changed out of her pajamas.
Her pants have teddy bears and trains all over them. She
looks back at Jinu. He stares at her and makes a train
motion.
7.2 JINU (CONT’D)
Choo...choo...
She lunges at him!
8 RUMI
You were supposed to be dead by

9 JINU
I could have told your friends
what you are but I didn’t--
did I?
Jinu poofs to the other side of the rooftop.

Our misery. It’s how Gwi-Ma

The Price of Temptation
EXT. ANCIENT KOREA - FOUR HUNDRED YEARS EARLIER
Jinu performs on the streets with an old bipa, trying to
provide for his mother and sister.
21.1 JINU
...my family was extremely poor and
miserable. I had a single
possession to my name -- an old
bipa. So I busked the streets, but
it didn’t get me anywhere. I was
desperate. We were starving. Then I
heard him.
Gwi-Ma appears before Jinu in a reflection, whispering in his
ear.
22 GWI-MA (V.O.)
(whispers)
You can’t do anything for your
family. You’re not good enough for
them. But I can help you be good
enough.
Gwi-Ma gives Jinu patterns around his wrists that mimic
shackles, thrusting him into his new lavish life as a
musician. His mother and sister finally out of their
miserable lifestyle.
25.11 JINU
Overnight, my fate was changed. I
was praised for my voice. Even by
the King himself. My family and I
lived on the palace grounds. Our
bellies were finally full, our
clothes clean. We were happy.
Jinu looks in a mirror and notices his demon patterns have
spread all over him.
25.1 JINU (CONT’D)
But the patterns...they kept
spreading until they consumed me.
And I was condemned to the demon
world, prisoner of Gwi-Ma for all
eternity. My family lost everything
and without me, they were even
worse off than before.
Jinu is now a demon, stuck in the demon world, chained to the
shame of his past.

Rumi looks concerned, almost sad for him. Jinu walks closer

Suddenly, Rumi stops dancing.

Rumi stops. Mira and Zoey look frustrated.

Zoey quickly grabs her notebook.

happily show you to your grave!'
‘you will be pummeled until there
are no remains?’

Tension on the Tracks
INT. SUBWAY TUNNEL - DAY
An underground subway train flies down the track. Demons
surround the train but Huntrix fly in from above and land on
top of the train. They immediately start slaying demons,
still fighting about rehearsal. They are all HEATED.
.01 MIRA
Seriously, what is your problem?
.02 RUMI
I told you! This song its–
.1 MIRA
I’m not talking about the song, I’m
talking about YOU!
Rumi stops in her tracks.

Why are you questioning everything
we stand for when we’re so close to
sealing the Honmoon? What are you
not telling us, Rumi?!

What are you hiding from us?!
Rumi can’t say so she bites back at Mira.

Not everything is about your
insecurities, Mira!
This stops Mira dead in her tracks. Rumi really struck a
nerve. The girls stand on top of the train, speechless.

Before Rumi can say another word, Zoey and Mira look past
her, concerned.

Demons begin spilling out of the tear and towards the girls
and the train.
2.1 MIRA (CONT’D)
If you’re with us, prove it.
Mira slams her foot down, activating the Honmoon.
Rumi stares, knowing she has to, to save this train. The
girls get into formation, weapons at the ready, and head
straight into the mob of demons. Rumi starts singing
TAKEDOWN.
The girls aggressively fight and sing. The tension is still
there from their argument. Zoey throws her daggers and Mira
uses one to kill a demon. Mira switches to her scepter. She’s
angry, taking out all her aggression on these demons.
Rumi slices away, facing a demon with a club. The demon hits
her and she goes flying back on the train.
MIRA (CONT’D) ZOEY
Rumi! Rumi!
INT. SUBWAY TRAIN
People on the train barely notice whats going on. Most are
asleep. In the window, we can see demons surrounding the
outside, darkness flooding the train.
EXT. SUBWAY TUNNEL
Rumi gets up and grabs her sword, slaying the demons around
her. She races back towards Zoey and Mira, who are still
fighting their own swarm of demons.
The girls reach the end of the fight. The Honmoon energy
they’ve summoned BLASTS through the tunnel, killing off the
remaining demons and closing the tear in the Honmoon.

Mira and a Rumi.

Rumi struggles to reply. Zoey shakes her head.

ahead. He starts feel things he didn’t expect.

marks glowing just the same.
JINU
Time goes by
And I lose perspective
I gain these years
But I lose myself and
I been tryna find a way back to
someone
I recognize in my self
But it’s hard to find thru demon
eyes so
I spend my time in this hell
Between imposter and this monster
I’m alone inside my head
Ain’t no choice when all these
voices keep me pointed towards no
end
Then I found you or you found me
and it’s hard to know just what it
means
But I’m finding out there’s hope
for me
I swear to god it’s been eternity
Jinu and Rumi lock eyes, across the pond that separates them.
They sing together, walking towards each other on the pond,
the Honmoon glowing beneath them. It looks like they’re
falling in love.

You got your demons, guess you’re

Jinu turns away in turmoil and catches the reflection of his
yellow eyes. They fade back to something more human when he

colors of the Honmoon. The tide is finally turning.
RUMI LYRIC
Why did we cover up the colors
stuck inside our head
Get up and let the jagged edges
meet the light instead
RUMI LYRIC (CONT’D)
Show me what’s underneath
I’ll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined
This is what it sounds like
Truth after all this time
The side I try to hide
Fearless and undefined

RUMI LYRIC (CONT’D)
This is what it sounds like
My voice without the lies
Lettin it out tonight
When darkness meets the light
This is what it sounds like.
The girls reach the stage, all their powers connecting and
creating a new Honmoon.
RUMI/MIRA/ZOEY LYRIC
Truth after all this time
All sides of us combined Our voices
all combined
When darkness meets the light
This is what it sounds like.
(END SONG)
Huntrix finishes harmonizing as they forgive each other and
celebrate conquering the demons.

I love my girls!
The crowd cheers for Huntrix. The world is saved. The Honmoon
in tact once again.
Above the girls, the Honmoon shines ever so brightly, finally
gold.
