Throughout the film, you can spot each member of HUNTR/X wearing special charms on their belts, earrings, and necklaces, and these are called norigae. Norigae are inspired by decorations on traditional Korean garments known as hanbok, and each one is customized to the individual hunter, with Rumi, Zoey, and Mira all having their own style and twist according to character designer Euni Cho.
There’s A Unique Norigae For Each Hunter
Each of the members has their own theme for their norigae, with Rumi’s design incorporating light and dark elements with mini magical-girl style charms and a crystal flower charm, and purple is the main color throughout. Then there’s Mira’s norigae, which Cho says, “reflected her big, bold personality, with bows that echo her signature hairstyle, a large heart charm symbolizing the warmth hidden beneath her seemingly cold expression and a fun twist of miniature Rumi and Zoey head charms – showing how she sees them as family and always wants to keep them close.”
As for Zoey’s norigae, Cho says that it was “inspired by children’s norigae from the Joseon period – shorter, bubblier and more colorful, just like her.” Cho went into more details, revealing that the charms also include “two big bells that echo her hair buns, a turtle, bunnies, toy bead blocks spelling out her name and other playful details in reflection of her childlike, creative side as both a hunter and a musician.”
