Netflix announced at the Upfronts presentation in the US that it is partnering with AEG Presents to host a global concert tour for the animated film ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’. Netflix introduced the tour by stating, “We will vividly implement the world, music, and performances of the two-time Oscar-winning film to provide a vivid live experience.”
However, the information released so far is limited. Netflix has not mentioned whether Lee Jae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, who provided the vocals for the film’s girl group Huntress, will actually participate in the live performances. The possibility of another popular group, Saja Boys, appearing also remains a mystery.
The vocalists for Huntress have driven the project’s global popularity over the past year by appearing on US late-night talk shows, ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’, and the Academy Awards stage. In particular, the movie’s OSTs caused a sensation on actual music charts, leading to evaluations that the project has established itself as a K-pop project beyond just an animation.
Fans can currently register for an official waiting list to receive detailed information as it is released. Specific details, such as host cities, performance schedules, and general ticket booking dates, are expected to be revealed sequentially by the end of this year.
‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ is a work that depicts the story of Huntress, a three-member K-pop girl group fighting monsters from the underworld. Since its release in the summer of 2025, it has recorded explosive success through word-of-mouth, becoming one of the most-watched movies in Netflix history, and its OST swept global charts. With the addition of two Academy Awards and the record of being the first K-pop-based project to win a Grammy, the work has grown into a global IP beyond a simple hit.
