The trio of singers behind the main characters of Netflix’s hit animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters (commonly abbreviated as KDH) made their live-action debut on U.S. television, performing the movie’s original soundtrack “Golden” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Lee Jae, Audrey Nuna, and Rae Ami appeared on the October 7 (local time) broadcast of NBC’s popular late-night show, delivering a powerful live rendition of “Golden,” the signature song of the fictional girl group HuntRix featured in the film. In the animation, the group’s leader Lumi is voiced by former SM Entertainment trainee Lee Jae, while Mira and Joey are portrayed by Audrey Nuna and Rae Ami, respectively.
This marked the trio’s first-ever full live performance of “Golden.” They had previously given fans a brief taste of the song during an appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
The stage captured attention for its faithful recreation of the HuntRix characters’ style and aesthetic, blending animation-inspired visuals with live-action energy. The three artists impressed both audiences and critics alike with their powerful vocals, seamless teamwork, and a performance that perfectly embodied the spirit of KDH.
