UPDATE: The creators of HUNTR/X have just revealed the fascinating meanings behind the film’s norigae charms, captivating fans worldwide. These unique charms, inspired by traditional Korean garments, enhance the characters’ styles and personalities, with each design meticulously crafted by Euni Cho.
HUNTR/X’s norigae, worn by characters Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, showcase an incredible blend of heritage and individuality. Rumi’s charm features a striking mix of light and dark elements, complete with mini magical-girl style charms and a radiant crystal flower. Mira’s design reflects her bold nature with playful heart charms and whimsical representations of her friends. Meanwhile, Zoey’s charm takes inspiration from the Joseon period, filled with vibrant colors and childlike whimsy, perfectly mirroring her creative spirit.
This revelation is particularly timely, as the film has achieved remarkable milestones since its release on Netflix, becoming the platform’s most-watched animated original film with over 325.1 million views. With the major merchandise rollout set to begin soon and a sequel in development, the excitement surrounding HUNTR/X continues to grow.
While the charms were initially designed with functional abilities in mind, including potential weapon-summoning features, the final version emphasizes fashion, making them visually stunning accessories. Cho noted, “The final designs are purely for style, but they still tell a story about each character’s journey.”
As fans eagerly await the next chapter in the HUNTR/X saga, buzz continues to build, especially with five Grammy nominations for its soundtrack adding to the film’s acclaim. Merchandise, spanning fashion and collectibles, is anticipated to deepen the connection between fans and the beloved characters.
