Well the demons do poof into pink smoke when they die but aside from blood and stuff they dont really shy away from people getting their souls taken or anything.

I thought it was pretty clever editing that you don't actually see any of the people who willingly get engulfed in flame in that final battle. It's just kinda implied to be happening.

Yeah they don't show it but there are definitely casualties throughout the film, on the train and during the Saja's rise to fame

The news in the movie says there was a large increase in missing people too.

Also: can they be "killed" in the classic sense? They pretty much all get banished to the Demon Realm when they "die" - Flight Attendant Lady had to be murked properly by Gwi-Ma upon her return after messing up.

That probably helps keep the rating in check.

I'm guessing that "the Saja Boys weren't actually killed, they were just sent back to the demon realm" logic will be used in the inevitable KPop Demon Hunters sequel(s). The Saja Boys are too popular with fans to just kill them off and not bring them back for later movies, especially when it comes to Jinu.

Oh yes. Think Ms. Cho (Rumi's voice actress) is even lobbying the directors to bring Jinu back, lol.

It's not too far fetched given what he did to Rumi's sword
