The musical trio behind HUNTR/X, the fictional K-pop group from this summer's blockbuster animated movie "KPop Demon Hunters," will make their highly anticipated live performance debut on October 7 during "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." The NBC late-night show announced on Monday that performers Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami will take the stage to perform their chart-topping hit "Golden" from the Sony Pictures and Netflix collaboration.

The animated film has achieved remarkable success, becoming Netflix's first-ever number one box office title in the streaming platform's 18-year operating history. The movie's soundtrack has also dominated music charts, with "Golden" emerging as a breakout hit that has resonated with audiences worldwide. This milestone represents a significant achievement for Netflix as it continues to expand its presence in theatrical releases.

Following their musical performance, the three artists will join host Jimmy Fallon for in-depth interviews on the show's iconic couch segment. Their complete appearance will be available for streaming on Peacock the following day, allowing fans who miss the live broadcast to catch up on the interview and performance. The episode will also feature Jennifer Lopez as an additional guest.

"KPop Demon Hunters" centers around the fictional superstar K-pop trio HUNTR/X, whose members lead double lives as both international pop sensations and supernatural demon hunters. The animated characters include Rumi, voiced by Arden Cho, Mira, voiced by May Hong, and Zooey, voiced by Ji-young Yoo. In the film's storyline, these three performers must use their special abilities to protect their devoted fanbase while confronting their most dangerous adversary yet: a rival boy band that serves as a disguise for a group of malevolent demons.

The movie has generated an unprecedented level of fan engagement across social media platforms and online communities. Enthusiastic viewers have created an abundance of fan art, musical covers, detailed cosplay costumes, and original choreography inspired by the film's characters and musical numbers. This organic fan response has helped sustain the movie's popularity and cultural impact far beyond its initial release.

Since its debut 14 weeks ago, "KPop Demon Hunters" has maintained its position as a consistent fixture on Netflix's weekly Top 10 most-watched content list. The film's sustained success demonstrates the growing global appetite for K-pop-influenced entertainment and animated content that bridges Eastern and Western pop culture elements.
