Kang Rumi

Rumi is the powerful and conflicted leader of HUNTR/X, a K-pop girl group that secretly doubles as a team of demon hunters. Born as a half-human, half-demon, she hides her demonic heritage—including glowing markings, shifting eyes, and growing powers—out of fear and shame. Trained by a former hunter named Celine, Rumi believes that by perfecting the magical Honmoon barrier through her singing, she can erase the demon part of herself and become “fully human.” But as her powers grow and her secret begins to unravel, she faces rejection, internal crisis, and the looming threat of losing her voice. Ultimately, Rumi’s journey is one of self-acceptance: instead of rejecting her demon side, she embraces it, turning what she once saw as a curse into a source of strength. By reconciling both sides of her identity, she not only defeats the demonic threat but also redefines what it means to be whole. Rumi represents the struggle many face with hidden parts of themselves—and the power that comes from accepting who you truly are.
