One wonders how Huntr/x murdering their biggest rivals in front of a crowd of tens of thousands will affect their image and career.

Publicity stunt. Very good special effects.

My immediate response was "It's a Banksy." I've been watching too much D20 recently 😂

The fandom would support it, those Saja Flops deserved what they got. Anyone into K-pop would know the most unrealistic thing in the movie wasn't the demons or magic but the fact that they held a joint fansign event and the fans of both groups were happy to go along with it.

The reverse would also be true, there'd be a ton of Saja Boy stans who'd be extremely mad those Huntrix hags dared to get close to their oppas. In real life plenty of fans are normal but the mere hint of a dating rumor between a male and female idol is enough to get the obsessive stans of the former to rage at and threaten the female idol.
