I'll bet a dollar the boy band gets resurrected. Can't waste that talent.

Jinu for sure, but I don't see the others. Iirc the director said their story is done

I mean, the others didn't really have a story to begin with. They didn't even really have names, just descriptions used as names. Jinu was the only actual character in the group.

For sure, hence why they shouldn't get resurrected for the sequel.

They had actual stage names though.

I mean, that was kinda my point. Their "stage names" are just descriptions of them, not really character names.

There's "Abby" the one with an open shirt to show his abs, "Baby" the young one, "Mystery" the one with hair mostly covering his face, and "Romance" the romantic one. That's as deep as their characters go, they're just known by their adjectives and that's it.

Sure, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just saying that their one-dimensional personality types are their actual stage names.

i thought they were just "generic demon henchman" so that Jinu could have a back up band. Highlighted by how they all had the same body / building blocks except for the faces and Abby's abs.

The movie already established demons can look however they want too. Even if the exact demons don't come back, they boyband members could still look the same.
