GO!: K-Pop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Lyrics

As I am madly deciding if I want to dress up like one of the K-Pop Demon Hunters, I also thought I needed to learn the lyrics. I’ll be attending a special press preview next week, but you need to buy your tickets for this one-weekend event nationwide on 23-24 August 2025.

Tickets went on sale last week (Wednesday, 13 August 2025 at 6 a.m.) so don’t wait. Visit SingKPopDemonHunters.com to find a full list of theaters in your area and to download tickets. You can also follow for updates on all things K-Pop Demon Hunters on Instagram and TikTok @KPopDemonHuntersnetflix.

If you haven’t watched this animated feature film, the K-Pop Demon Hunters, Rumi, Mira and Zoey, are K-Pop superstars who sell out stadiums, but that’s only when they’re not protecting their fans and the world from the threat of demons. Suddenly, the ruler of the demon world has a new weapon: a rival boy band who seem sweet, but are demons in disguise and there are no good demons…or are there?

Unlike a lot of anime which features so many non-Asians or Asian Americans in the English dub, this Korean and English language film has an extensive cast of people of East Asian descent.

I got prepared by watching the movies at least five times. Ordered a Derpy hoodie and T-shirt on the 16th from Amazon and received it on the 18th. Put a collar on my Folkmanis tiger puppet and invited my Korean American friends.

The tiger is the national symbol of South Korea and, once upon a time, there were Siberian or Amur tigers in Korea.

For those without a Korean background, here’s an explanation.

But…here are the songs you’ll need to know with Hangul romanization and translation provided by Google translate (and some songs that won’t have words on the screen, too):

How It’s Done

(Inspired by “Jet Song” from “West Side Story”)

Ugh, you came at a bad timeBut you just crossed the lineYou wanna get wild?Okay, I’ll show you wild

Better come right, better luck tryin’, gettin’ to our level‘Cause you might die, never the time, tryna start a battleBleeding isn’t in my blood,

뼛속부터 달라서 (ppyeos-sogbuteo dallaseo = Different from the inside out)

Beating you is what I do, do, do, yeahBody on body, I’m naughty, not even sorryAnd when you pull up, I’ll pull upA little late to the party (na-na-na-na)Locked and loaded, I was born for thisThere ain’t no point in avoiding itAnnoyed? A bit

불을 비춰, 다 비켜, 니 앞길을 뺏겨
(bul-eul bichwo, da bikyeo, ni apgil-eul ppaesgyeo = Shine the light, get out of the way, your path is taken away)

Knocking you out like a lullabyHear that sound ringing in your mindBetter sit down for the show‘Cause I’m gonna show you how it’s done, done, done

HUNTR/X don’t missHow it’s done, done, done(Hey) HUNTR/X don’t quitHow it’s done, done, done

Run, run, we run the townWhole world playin’ our soundTurnin’ up, it’s goin’ downHUNTR/X show this, how it’s done, done, done

Yeah, something about when you come for the crownThat’s so humbling, huh?

갑자기 왜 그래? 먼저 건드려, 왜?
(gabjagi wae geulae? meonjeo geondeulyeo, wae? = Why are you suddenly like that? You touched me first, why?)
이제야 포기해 (ijeya pogihae = I give up now) what?

Nothing to us, run up, you’re done up, we come upFrom sunup to sundown, so come out to playWon either way, we’re one in a millionWe killin’, we bring it, you want it? OkayHeels, nails, blade, mascaraFit check for my napalm eraNeed to beat my face, make it cute and savageMirror, mirror on my phone, who’s the baddest? (Us, hello?)

Knocking you out like a lullabyHear that sound ringing in your mindBetter sit down for the show‘Cause I’m gonna show you (I’m gonna show you)(I’m gonna show you) how it’s done, done, done

I don’t talk, but I bite, full of venom (uh)Spittin’ facts, you know that’sHow it’s done, done, doneOkay, like, I know I rambleBut when shootin’ my words, I go RamboTook blood, sweat, and tears to look natural (uh)That’s how it’s done, done, done

Hear our voice unwavering‘Til our song defeats the nightMakin’ fear afraid to breathe‘Til the dark meets the light (how it’s done, done, done)

Run, run, we run the town (done, done, done)Whole world playin’ our sound (done, done, done)Turnin’ up, it’s going down (done, done, done)HUNTR/X, show this, how it’s done, done, done

We hunt you down, down, down, down (down)We got you now, now, now, now (got you now)We show you how, how, how (show you how)HUNTR/X don’t miss, how it’s done, done, done

Intro to Jinu

[Jinu narrates]

There once was a mighty demon king,

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

We was in total control.

He feasted on souls.

The world trembled when he roared.

But then some Hunters sang some songs.

Now all he does is starve.

Can’t get at the souls,

and his flame grows cold.

Just a whisper in the dark.

And will he let the fire go out?

Is this the end of him now?

Dying king with a crumbling crown?

Will he let the fire go out?

Golden

Note bene: Join the countdown and don’t be afraid to cough (IYKYK).

[Verse 1: Rumi, Zoey, Mira, All]
I was a ghost, I was alone

어두워진 앞길속에 (Hah)
(eoduwojin apgilsog-e = In the darkened road ahead)

Given the throne, I didn’t know how to believe (Hah)
I was the queen that I’m meant to be (Ah)
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides
But I couldn’t find my own place (Oh, oh)
Called a problem child ’cause I got too wild
But now that’s how I’m getting paid, 끝없이 on stage
(kkeut-eobs-i = eternally)
[Pre-Chorus: Rumi, All]
I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be
We dreamin’ hard, we came so far
Now I believe

[Chorus: Rumi, All]
We’re goin’ up, up, up
It’s our moment
You know together we’re glowin’
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up
With our voices

영원히 깨질 수 없는
(yeong-wonhi kkaejil su eobsneun = unbreakable forever)

Gonna be, gonna be golden

[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh, I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be

[Verse 2: Rumi]
Waited so long to break these walls down
To wake up and feel like me
Put these patterns all in the past now
And finally live like the girl they all see

[Pre-Chorus: Rumi]
No more hiding, I’ll be shining
Like I’m born to be
‘Cause we are hunters, voices strong
And I know I believe

[Chorus: Rumi, All]
We’re goin’ up, up, up
It’s our moment
You know together we’re glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up
With our voices

영원히 깨질 수 없는
(yeong-wonhi kkaejil su eobsneun = unbreakable forever)

Gonna be, gonna be golden

[Post-Chorus: Rumi]
Oh, I’m done hidin’, now I’m shining
Like I’m born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be

[Outro: Rumi, All]
You know we’re gonna be, gonna be golden (Oh)
We’re gonna be, gonna be (Oh)
Born to be, born to be glowin’ (Oh)

밝게 빛나는 우리
(balg-ge bichnaneun uli = we shine brightly)

You know that it’s our time, no fears, no lies (Oh, oh)
That’s who we’re born to be

Young Rumi:

We are Hunters, voices strong

Slaying demons with our song

Fix the world and make it right.

When darkness finally meets the light.

Celine, do Hunters kill all demons?

Love Me Right (First time Huntrix sees the Saja Boys. Subtitles are not included for this song on the sing-along.)

(Exo: 2015)

Oh, yeah,

Come on,

Take your time.

왠지 두근대는 밤이야

(waenji dugeundaeneun bamiya = Somehow it’s a heart pounding night)

na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

So tonight

달 끝까지 달려가 볼까

(dal kkeutkkaji dallyeoga bolkka = Let’s run to the end of the moon)

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just right

시동을 걸어 엑셀에 발을 올려
모든 것이 특별해 너완 잘 어울려
무엇을 원하던 Imma make it work (yeah)

(shidongeul georeo eksere bareul ollyeo
modeun geoshi teukbyeolhae neowan jal eoullyeo
mueoseul weonhadeon Imma Make it work = Ignite your engine, step on the pedal
Everything is special, we look good together
Whatever you want, Imma make it work (Yeah))

Love Maybe

(From the K-drama “A Business Proposal” which is also know as “The Office Blind Date.” Subtitles are not included for this song on the sing-along.)

너와 함께 하고 싶은 일들을 상상하는 게요즘 내 일상이 되고너의 즐거워하는 모습을 보고 있으면자연스레 따라 웃고 있는 걸

너의 행동에 설레어하고, 뒤척이다가지새운 밤이 많아지는데

이건 누가 봐도 사랑일 텐데종일 함께면 질릴 텐데나 돌아서도 온통 너인 건아무래도 사랑인가 봐

점점 너와 하고 싶은 일들 생각하면서하루를 보낸 날이 많아지는데

이건 누가 봐도 사랑일 텐데종일 함께면 질릴 텐데나 돌아서도 온통 너인 건아무래도 사랑인가 봐

너의 행복해하는 모습을 보고 있으면나도 모르게 따라 웃는데

이 정도면 알아줄 만하잖아너도 용기 낼 만하잖아나만 이런 게 아니라면우리 만나볼 만하잖아아무래도 사랑인가 봐

English translation (Google translate):

Imagining things I want to do with you
has become my daily routine these days.
When I see you happy,
I find myself smiling along naturally.
I’m thrilled by your actions, and I’ve spent many nights tossing and turning.
Anyone can tell this is love.
If we were together all day, I’d get tired of it.
When I turn around, it’s all you.
I guess it must be love.
More and more days I spend thinking about things I want to do with you.
Anyone can tell this is love.
If we were together all day, I’d get tired of it.
When I turn around, it’s all you.
I guess it must be love.
When I see you happy,
I smile along without realizing it.
I think you deserve it.
You deserve courage.
If only I wasn’t like this,
we could meet.
I guess it must be love.

Soda Pop

You’re my soda pop
Gotta drink every drop

Takedown

(“Takedown” is sung in parts before “Free,” but then after “Free” at the Idol Awards by the demons disguised as Mira and Zoey after Rumi begins her part of “Golden.” It is also plays during the credits.)

Takedown, takedownTakedown, down, down, down (HUNTR/X girls to the world)Takedown, takedownTakedown, down, down, down (it’s a takedown)

So sweet, so easy on the eyes, but hideous on the insideWhole life spreadin’ lies, but you can’t hide, baby, nice tryI’m ’bout to switch up these vibes, I finally opened my eyesIt’s time to kick you straight back into the night

Take it down

Free

[Verse 1: Rumi]
I tried to hide but something broke
I tried to sing, couldn’t hit the notes
The words kept catching in my throat
I tried to smile, I was suffocating though
But here with you, I can finally breathe
You say you’re no good, but you’re good for me
I’ve been hoping to change, now I know we can change
But I won’t if you’re not by my side

[Chorus: Rumi]
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
All the secrets that keep me in chains, and
All the damage that might make me dangerous
You got a dark side, guess you’re not the only one
What if we both tried fighting what we’re running from?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?[Post-Chorus: Rumi]
We could be free, free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless[Verse 2: Jinu]
Ooh, time goes by, and I lose perspective
Yeah, hope only hurts, so I just forget it
But you’re breaking through all the dark in me when I thought that nobody could
And you’re waking up all these parts of me that I thought were buried for good

[Pre-Chorus: Jinu, Rumi & Jinu]
Between imposter and this monster, I been lost inside my head
Ain’t no choice when all these voices keep me pointing towards no end
It’s just easy when I’m with you, no one sees me the way you do
I don’t trust it, but I want to, I keep coming back to

[Chorus: Rumi, Rumi & Jinu]
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?[Post-Chorus: Rumi & Jinu]
We could be free, free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless[Bridge: Rumi, Jinu]
Oh, so take my hand, it’s open (Free, free)
What if we heal what’s broken? (Free, free)[Outro: Rumi, Rumi & Jinu]
I tried to hide but something broke
I couldn’t sing, but you give me hope
We can’t fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless

What It Sounds Like

(Inspired by “Green Light” from Lorde and “Hike and Seek” from Imogen Heap)

Prologue (Rumi in Demon Voice):

We are Hunters, voices strong. Slaying demons with our song. Fix the world and make it right. When darkness finally meets the light.

[Gwi-ma]

You come here like this? You think you can fix the world? You can’t even fix yourself.

[Rumi]

I can’t.

[Gwi-ma]

And now everyone finally sees you for what you really are.

[Rumi]

They do.

[Gwi-ma]

And the Honmoon is gone.

[Rumi]

It is. So we can make a new one.

[Verse 1: Rumi]
Nothing but the truth now
Nothing but the proof of what I am
The worst of what I came from, patterns I’m ashamed of
Things that even I don’t understand
I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it
My head was twisted, my heart divided
My lies all collided
I don’t know why I didn’t trust you to be on my side

[Chorus: Rumi, Zoey, Mira, All]
I broke into a million pieces, and I can’t go back
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
I should’ve let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
The song we couldn’t write, this is what it sounds like

[Verse 2: Rumi]
We’re shattering the silence, we’re rising, defiant
Shouting in the quiet, “You’re not alone”
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
But none of us are out here on our own
So we were cowards, so we were liars
So we’re not heroes, we’re still survivors
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I’m tired
But dive in the fire, and I’ll be right here by your side

Summary:

Get your fandom or cosplay ASAP.
Bring something for your throat because yelling, singing and any other emotional response is encouraged (Trader Joe’s ginger chews are my choice)
Water! Juice or, as the song says, soda pop.
Camera or phone because videos are encouraged!

Even if you don’t sing…or your friends and frenemies don’t like hearing you sing, you’ll have so much fun. I sang. Ian didn’t. He still loved the energy.

Check out my Instagram (@janamonji), TikTok (@janajmonji) or YouTube for photos and videos of the event.
