Maggie Kang (Director of Kpop Demon Hunters) talks about the Honmoon, Rumi’s sword and Jinu’s fate:
Q: Will there be Season 2/Sequel?
MAGGIE KANG: “I don’t know either. I don’t know, so I can’t say anything. It’s not like the Honmoon didn’t close (like fans say). HUNTR/X thought it would be the Golden Honmoon, but it closed as the Rainbow Honmoon. They really don’t know what kind of gate that is. So it’s still a mystery, right? Even I don’t know what it means.”
Q: Rumi’s sword changed into a Dokkaebi. Does this mean Jinu is always inside her sword?
MAGGIE KANG: “That’s such a fun idea. But that, too…I can’t talk about it. But it really is a cool idea. The sword getting bigger…If you look at animation and manga, the main character always upgrades with some new power. So Rumi gets powered up with Jinu’s soul and slashes Gwi-ma like ‘chop!’ Where Jinu’s soul went or whether Jinu is still alive, we don’t really know.”
ARDEN CHO (Rumi’s VA): “Sounds like we need to go find Jinu.”
SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE JINU-SWORD THEORY
“I can’t talk about it” is making me go 👀👀👀
So based on this interview, it can assumed that the Rainbow Honmoon and it not being Gold yet, Rumi’s sword changing and Jinu’s fate (where his soul is or whether he is alive) might be explored in the Sequel.
(The fact that she is not even confirming on Jinu’s fate is driving me insane OMG I understand that they don’t want to confirm anything before the sequel because it might be spoiler tho)
