baby saja

He is the maknae (youngest member) of the Saja Boys and its main rapper. In the course of the story, Baby Saja helps the group's leader, Jinu, and the demon god, Gwima, realize their plan to form a demonic singing group to rival the heroine group, Huntr/x. The goal is to steal their fans and weaken the "honmon"—the spiritual barrier protecting the human world. Thus, his goals can be summarized as helping Gwima gather human souls by attracting the other group's fans to the demonic side. The youngest member of the idol group "Saja Boys" - despite being outwardly kind - his primary goal is to carry out Goi-Ma's orders, using his talent for singing and rapping as a means of controlling fans.

Within the film, Baby Saja deliberately lends the band a childlike maknae vibe. On stage, he assumes the role of a crowd-pleasing child: he uses playthings, innocent slogans, and exaggerated facial expressions to shine and impress fans. For example, in the hot drinks competition (which appears in the film), he easily wins and concludes the challenge with his signature catchphrase, "Goo goo ga ga." These actions demonstrate that he is adept at "playing innocent" to win over audiences. His off-stage persona is completely different: smart, sarcastic, and easily provoked, Baby Saja presents a very cold and indifferent appearance; he usually hides any emotion and wears a "mask of boredom." Despite being the youngest and most outwardly light of the group, he displays an unexpected degree of decisiveness and intelligence: manipulating his childish personalities is his way of deceiving others and then striking them with deadly effectiveness. He exploits his seemingly contradictory appearance for his own evil purposes. His childish appearance masks a diabolical motive (loyal to Je-Ma) and a desire to control people (stealing the fans of the film's heroines). This is evident when he sits sarcastically at events such as "fan sessions" where he accepts bouquets of flowers without being impressed by them (and later discards them).

In his human form, Baby Saja appears as a slender young man with fluffy light blue hair, a round face, and large blue eyes. He typically wears trendy, youthful clothing: oversized sweaters in bright colors (often orange and pink), and retro-style "capes" (Presby Berrier hats) tilted backward, with a collared shirt underneath. These features and style give him a "modern, childlike" appearance that he delights in performing on stage.

With his demonic appearance, he wears a black hanbok and a traditional hat (gat) to appear as a resemblance to a "gosung saga." He has pale blue skin and dark blue tattoos all over his body (which is the girls' evidence that they are demons, as they can be seen briefly in the presence of neon lights). He has sharp fangs, long, sharp black nails, and golden eyes with feline pupils.

With his band: he's a member of the band that includes Jinu (the leader), Mystery, Romance, and possibly Abby. As the youngest member, Baby follows the directions of Jinu. They're no apparent internal conflicts between him and his fellow members. Technically, he positions himself as a demon servant of Gwima and a "K-pop singer" for the band, implying no hypocritical loyalty to Gwima and no true friendship with his human colleagues.

With Gwima: Gwima forms Baby Saja's official lord. At their first meeting, Gwima agrees to Jinu's plan and blesses the band's creation. Throughout the film, Baby reports to Gwima in the demon world as part of his "success" reports (consuming fans' souls), showing respect for his authority. Baby appears as a user of orders and a loyal servant.

With Huntr/x (Roomi, Mira, and Zoe): The relationship here is primarily antagonistic. Their paths cross several times: first, when the Saja Boys meet Hunter/x by chance in an alley, and they end up in a visual confrontation. Baby organizes parties and competitions that attract Roomi and her friends; for example, in the hot drinks match scene, he appears in front of Zoe and Mira, easily winning and laughing, emphasizing his sense of superiority.

In a later scene in a public bathroom, he and his colleagues help trap Hunter/x using "water demons," demonstrating his mischievous nature. At the fan meeting, Baby sits between Zoe and Jinu, but without any real interaction; he calmly drinks water and pretends to be grateful when he receives the fan flowers, but quickly throws them away. Finally, in the final scene, Baby attempts to attack Hunter/X directly when Romy interrupts the "Your Idol" competition, and engages in a brief fight with Zoe before the coup de grâce comes when Jinu himself offers to ransom Romy. Throughout the story, Baby is not shown to have any particular feelings toward the film's heroines; all his interactions with them remain within the framework of rivalry and conflict.

Demon World Meeting (opening of the film): Baby Saja begins appearing with the Saja Boys in the Demon World during a meeting with Ji-Ma. There, Jinu presents a plan to form the Saja Boys to influence Huntr/x's fans and weaken the protection of the Honmoon. Ji-Ma agrees and enlists Baby Saja as a member of the fledgling band.

First Performance – "Soda Pop": Baby Saja appears disguised as a human with the other Saja Boys on a city street. They intercept Huntr/x, and a brief confrontation ensues. The Saja Boys then enthusiastically perform "Soda Pop" in a public square to a crowd. Baby appears here in his trendy outfit (a pink sweater and yellow hat), rapping gracefully.

TV Competition – Spicy Challenge: The Saja Boys participate in a TV competition show where they eat hot sauces. Baby Saja outsmarts everyone by easily consuming the sauce, concluding the competition with a sly smile and his famous childish catchphrase, "Goo goo ga ga." This scene highlights his humor and quirkiness, further introducing viewers to his bold and steadfast personality.

Battle in the Bathroom: Members of both groups go to a public bathhouse as part of a publicity stunt. There, the Saga Boys use a trick to trap Huntr/x, releasing "water demons" on Mira and Zoe in the bathtub. Baby's intelligence is evident in this shared moment, as he teams up with the other demons to trap the heroines in the cursed water.

Review in Front of Ji-Ma (mid-film): After the Saja Boys achieve increasing success (and their popularity soars), Baby returns to the demonic realm to report on the band's progress. In this shot, he is seen standing casually in front of Hunter/x, pretending to play the game, then transforms into his black demonic form, looking exhausted. This scene demonstrates Baby's stress and his relentless efforts in serving Ji-Ma's plan.

Music Awards and Fan Session: Baby accompanies the band to several music award ceremonies in Korea. Afterward, the Saja Boys participate in the "Grand Fan Session," where Baby sits between Zoe (from Huntr/x) and Jinu. He initially appears interested in the flowers presented by the audience, but leaves them in the trash after the session. These shots show that he has officially become involved in the life of stardom, but internally, he remains indifferent to societal praise.

Closing Ceremony – “Your Idol” and the Final Showdown: At a massive concert that embraces the Namsan Tower with massive specters, Baby Saja performs “Your Idol” with the band in his demonic form. Waving his black fan and big hat, he boldly raps as the song takes on a sinister dimension thanks to the G-Ma effects. At the climax of the show, Roomi interrupts the concert with a dramatic move: the music cuts out, and Huntr/x saves the day by leading the patriotic vocals “Takedown.” Enraged, Baby attacks the girls; We witness a brief fight between him and Zoe on stage. In the end, Jinu offers himself as a sacrifice to save Roomi from the G-Ma, causing Baby to stop his fight in surprise when Jinu's body turns to ash. Baby Saja’s fate after this is never explicitly revealed in the film; his fate is left open-ended (presumably either alive or locked up with the other Saga Boys).

Demons' emotions are distorted and don't develop as easily as humans, making them susceptible to attachment. They are also often plagued by hallucinations that significantly impair their hearing and thinking, making them unable to think about anything that might threaten their "gui-ma" position.
