The theories are intriguing. For one, the name “Saja Boys” mirrors SB19’s initials, S and B. The number of members matches as well, with both groups featuring five performers. Even more, the characters in the Saja Boys seem to resemble SB19’s real-life members, from their stage presence to their roles within the group.

“I think the similarities are hard to ignore,” one fan posted on social media. “It feels like a playful tribute or maybe even a challenge to our beloved P-pop kings.”

While the film’s creators haven’t confirmed any connections, the buzz is undeniably helping its popularity grow, especially in the Philippines where SB19 commands a massive following.

Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, KPop Demon Hunters features a star-studded voice cast including Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and Lee Byung-hun. The film blends fantasy action with catchy music, delivering both laughs and thrills in true K-pop fashion.

Whether or not the Saja Boys were inspired by SB19, the movie has clearly struck a chord. Viewers are enjoying the mix of heart-pounding action, cultural flavor, and the unique twist of K-pop meets demon slaying.

As it holds strong at the top of Netflix Philippines, one thing’s clear: KPop Demon Hunters is more than just a movie — it’s a conversation starter, especially for fans who live and breathe the P-pop and K-pop worlds.
