EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — who voice Rumi, Mira and Zoey respectively, the members of fictional K-pop group HUNTR/X — are set to perform the film’s chart-topping anthem Golden at the BAFTA ceremony on February 22. The appearance will mark the trio’s first live performance outside the United States.
Reacting to the announcement, the artists described the invitation as a milestone moment, expressing pride in representing K-Pop Demon Hunters and sharing the film’s uplifting message with audiences worldwide.
The performance comes despite the film being ruled ineligible for BAFTA film awards due to not meeting the organisation’s theatrical release requirements. Nevertheless, its cultural and commercial impact has proven impossible to ignore.
Released in June 2025, K-Pop Demon Hunters has gone on to become Netflix’s most-watched film of all time, surpassing 500 million streams globally. Its lead track, Golden, has dominated the music charts throughout 2026, accumulating over four billion streams to date. The song spent eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first female K-pop song to top the chart and securing the longest number-one run of the 21st century by a female group.
The record-breaking streak continued last weekend when Golden became the first K-pop song to win a Grammy Award, taking home the prize for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
BAFTA’s executive director of awards and content, Emma Baehr, said the film has made an extraordinary impression on audiences of all ages around the world. She noted that the inclusion of the HUNTR/X performers aligns with BAFTA’s aim to celebrate not only outstanding films but also to deliver a memorable night of entertainment, describing the trio as an iconic addition to the ceremony.
The 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards will be held at London’s Royal Festival Hall, with Alan Cumming serving as host. The ceremony will air as-live on the BBC in the United Kingdom and on E! in the United States.
