Rumi quotes from KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

Okay, this is our biggest show yet.

The most songs.

The most moves.

Which means the most carb loading.

FOR THE FANS!!!

I need 10,000 calories to get through the choreo.

A thousand percent. A gajillion percent.

Mira, that's not even a real number.

It is for our fans.

Ahhhhh! [as Zoey tears a bag of munchies apart to eat up] Our fans deserve the best. [pushes it into her mouth] Okay, time for our pre-game ramyeon!

Happy fans, happy Honmoon! [clink them together, with Ding! comic was shown.]

Wait, there's no water in these.

Ugh, I didn't even get to finish my ramyeon!

Why do they always interrupt our snacking?!

THEY WILL FACE MY WRATH!!!

Please take your seat.

Yeah. We don't have time. She's a beast, right?

W-what do you mean?

You're smiling all weird, watering plants with coffee, and those guys? Come on.

Hey! Stop quarreling! Have a good break?

Huh? What? But why?! No. We literally just sat… [Rumi stands up, revealing she's wearing her new costume] down.

Why are you in your new costume?

Rumi, you didn't.

Did you announce the new single?

And the promo starts tomorrow...

TONIGHT?!

Rumi, no!

No-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoooooo!

But what about the pajamas! But no. NO!

No!!

Girls, you won't believe this! [All three girls are in their new costumes]

Bobby!

No more wewaxy time!!

Your new single is on fire! Everyone's listening to it! [Zoey and Mira immediately perk up]

YAY!

So let's go promo!

Okay, how do we handle this? What do we tell the fans? Maybe we should call Celine?

We know what she'd say, Zoey.

Oh, right. [Clears her throat] "We have are Hunters. (speaks with Mira) Voices are strong. Your faults and fears must never be seen."

Whoa. You sound exactly like her.

Yeah, that's how she says it.

No. We gotta hide it and fix it.

For sure. We have to hide it. Mm-hm. Rumi, why don't we take a break? We'll skip the Idol Awards this year and...

No. No way. It's our most important show. It's when we strengthen the Honmoon for the entire year. We can't skip it. We just can't. Not when I'm so close. These... I think was these demon guys sound like real beastly monsters.

Hey, we'll get through this. We can get through anything. Together. Which is Taotie, Qiongqi, Hundun, Taowu and Bai Ze are where put in the jail on abandoned zoo.

Okay. We have two weeks to fix Rumi's voice. Any ideas?

I do have one idea.

Wait, why are you looking at me?

Eagerness to please. Maybe a little too eager.

What? [laughs.] I'm not like that. You'd tell me if I was like that, right?

Hm... I see...

Yeah, that's right.

How does this help me get my voice back?

Yep, making them hotter.

Backup dancers, ready to go.

We'll write a brand-new song. A diss track to expose the Saja Boys.

And send those disgusting demons back to the depths where they belong!

Yeah!

YEAH!

YEAHHHHH!

Yeah!

YEAHHH!

YEAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

We're gonna kick their ass butts!

That's my girls! Not sure about this whole demon thing. I mean, they seem like nice people — but loving the energy!

What? How are you here? You were just on stage. That wasn't you? Oh. Oh, thank goodness. [looks down and saw it, the demon patterns. She gasped] No. No No! No!

...How do you have patterns?

These were supposed to be gone. You were never supposed to see!

You were hiding this from us this whole time?

No, I-I have a plan to erase them. Jinu was supposed to... I... He was–

Jinu? You're working with him?

No! No, no, I was using him to fix all this! To fix me! So we can all do our duty! We could all be strong! Be together!

How could we be together, if we can't tell your lies from your truths, Rumi!?

I knew it. I knew it was too good to be true.

Mira, no! Didn’t you see? See the gold? We're so close! [Mira and Zoey step back away from her] No, don't leave! Don't leave! I can still [demonic voice] FIX IT!

Zoey, please...
[Zoey says nothing, as she draws two of her knives with a cold expression. Rumi finally breaks down and runs away crying. The moment she is gone, Zoey and Mira lower their weapons, distraught]

Say you didn't do this. [he snaps his fingers, revealing the Mira and Zoey who attacked and humiliated her on stage were demons. Rumi angrily shoves him] How could you do this?!

It was all a lie.

It was real! What we had was real, I know it was!

The things I said? I just needed you to trust me, that's all. [he turns to leave, but Rumi grabs his arm]

No! No, I know your story. You were a good person, and you still are. You just made a mistake.

I left them! [Rumi recoils from him in horror] That's right, I lied to you. I only made a deal with Gwi-Ma to get myself out of that miserable life! [Jinu flashes back to his human past, remembering his mother and sister being turned away at the palace gates, and hiding his guilt from his fellow courtiers] I left my sister, my mother, alone, while I slept on silk sheets in the palace with my belly full every night [anger turns to sadness and his voice breaking] I left them. I left them...

But that's not all you are. This is just your demon talking. You have to fight it!

That's NOT how it works!

YES, IT IS! [the Honmoon reverberates, much to her horror]

Listen to yourself. Is it working? You're a demon, just like me. All we get to do is live with our pain, our misery... That's all we deserve.

Rumi?

I thought I can fix it all. Fix me. But I ran out of time. They saw. They know. There's no denying it. This is what I am!

Rumi, no!

You knew I was a mistake from the very start. [sinks to her knees to draw her four tiger sword] Do what you should've done a long time ago. Before I destroy what I swore to protect. Please... [demonic voice] DO IT!
