Get ready for a pop culture showdown! The legendary singing trio behind the iconic K-pop group Huntr/x from the summer blockbuster KPop Demon Hunters is set to make its live debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 7. This moment marks a thrilling crossover between the animated film’s world and the golden age of late-night TV.
Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami—stars of the fictional music group Huntr/x—will perform their chart-topping hit Golden for the first time live on the show. The performance will be broadcasted on Peacock the following day, giving fans worldwide a chance to witness the magic. This appearance comes after the film, which launched on June 20, became Netflix’s first number-one box-office title in its 18-year history, with its soundtrack dominating charts globally.
The story follows Huntr/x, a K-pop trio who double as demon hunters, as they battle a sinister rival boy band made of demonic disguises. Their mission? Protect their fans and stop a supernatural threat. Fans have gone wild online, creating art, covers, and cosplay that has kept the film at the top of Netflix’s weekly Top 10 list since its release.
But here's where it gets controversial: Should the line between real-world K-pop and fictional worlds blur so much? And this is the part most people miss—how the film’s blend of action and music challenges traditional notions of fandom. What do you think? Are we ready for pop culture to cross over into reality?
