Shortened Transcript

• Plot hook: Huntr/x, a K-pop girl group, moonlights as demon-hunters.

• Identity crisis: Leader Rumi hides her half-demon heritage; shame steals her singing voice.

• The rival: Saja Boys are demons using pop music to break a magic barrier.

• Revelation: Jinu tells Rumi demons are chained by shame, not born evil.

• Cycle of hate: Generations of “destroy your enemy” only create more pain.

• Turning point: Rumi chooses mercy—singing for Jinu, not against him.

• Result: Hate loses power; enemies become allies.

• Gospel link: Jesus calls us to “love your enemies… be merciful” (Luke 6 : 32-36). Mercy breaks the loop of retaliation.
