The fictional K-pop sensation turned demon-hunting heroes from Netflix's blockbuster film are preparing to make their first live performance outside the United States at the upcoming BAFTA Film Awards. The chart-topping trio behind KPop Demon Hunters will take to the stage at the prestigious ceremony later this month, marking a significant milestone in their meteoric rise to global fame.
Historic Performance at Prestigious Ceremony
According to BAFTA organisers, the vocal talents behind the fictional band Huntr/x - comprising Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey) - will perform their award-winning single 'Golden' at the 2026 BAFTA film awards. This highly anticipated appearance represents the first time the group will perform together live outside American borders, adding another historic moment to their already impressive achievements.
From Screen Success to Award Show Stage
The Netflix musical movie, which premiered in June 2025, introduces audiences to the fictional K-pop band Huntr/x whose members lead double lives as demon hunters protecting their fanbase from supernatural threats. The film quickly became Netflix's most popular title just two months after its release and has since accumulated numerous accolades including an Oscar nomination and trophies at the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Critics' Choice awards.
Expressing their excitement about the upcoming performance, the group stated: "Performing at the BAFTA film awards is a golden moment that our younger selves could never have imagined. We're so proud to represent Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters and spread the film's positive message to fans around the globe."
Grammy-Winning Track with Chart Dominance
The song 'Golden' has achieved remarkable success since its release, recently making history by becoming the first K-Pop song to secure a Grammy Award in the category of Best Song Written for Visual Media. The track dominated the Billboard chart in the United States for eight consecutive weeks and spent ten non-consecutive weeks atop the UK charts.
Last August, 'Golden' became the first K-pop song in thirteen years to reach the number one position on the official UK singles chart. The track also featured prominently in Spotify's global top ten most streamed songs of 2025, demonstrating its widespread international appeal.
BAFTA's Excitement for the Performance
Emma Baehr, BAFTA's executive director of awards and content, highlighted the film's significant cultural impact, stating: "The film has had a phenomenal impact on the hearts and minds of audiences of all ages around the world. We are thrilled the talented singers behind Huntr/x will bring their K-pop energy to the EE BAFTA film awards next month."
She added: "Not only are we here to celebrate exceptional films and the people who make them, we also want to create an unmissable night of entertainment, and we can't wait to roll out the EE BAFTA film awards red carpet for such an iconic trio."
Broadcast Details and Film Background
