HUNTR/X brings the energy of K-Pop Demon Hunters to the Oscars stage

The 2026 Academy Awards witnessed a cultural milestone as HUNTR/X delivered a high-octane performance of "Golden," the award-winning anthem from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Artists EJ, Rayomi, and Audrey Nuna took the stage to showcase a powerful blend of Korean culture and cross-generational music that left a lasting impression on the star-studded audience. The group opened up about the raw emotions behind the scenes, admitting that the scale of the production even brought them to tears during rehearsals.

Beyond the music, the night offered a massive surprise for the franchise's growing fanbase. Official confirmation has arrived that a sequel is in the works, with a potential release window aimed at late 2029 or 2030. As icons like Steven Spielberg and Emma Stone vibed along with glow sticks, the message was clear: the story of the demon hunters is far from over. This performance wasn't just a celebration of a hit song, but a look toward the future of this cinematic world.
