### The Most Recent Performances from *KPop Demon Hunters* Cast
In October, the vocal ensemble of Netflix’s animated musical *KPop Demon Hunters* made their live launch by showcasing the film’s hit song “Golden” on *The Tonight Show*. Following that memorable occasion, singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami have dazzled various award ceremonies and occasions with their lively interpretation of the track. As this trio continues to captivate audiences, the soundtrack presents several other songs that are worth discovering.
Among the notable tracks from the film is “How It’s Done,” an electrifying number that opens the movie with a potent mix of fierce lyrics and spirited energy as the girls of Huntr/x confront a pack of demons. Fans were excited to find out that the trio would be performing this song together as part of a collaboration with McDonald’s. The Saja Boys, the fictional demon boy band competing against them, also took to the stage to deliver their catchy hit “Soda Pop.” This occasion catered to supporters of both groups, providing a dual showcase.
Unfortunately, the excitement was somewhat overshadowed by the fact that both ensembles lip-synced to what seemed to be the original recordings from the film instead of delivering a live performance. Moreover, significant segments of both songs were excluded, detracting from the complete experience. Specifically, “How It’s Done” lacked its second verse, often considered the song’s highlight, while “Soda Pop” was similarly abbreviated, featuring only the first verse and chorus. Even though the visual aspect was refined and each group’s style was clearly evident, fans were left hoping for an authentic live performance that encompassed more of the soundtrack’s variety.
The visual appeal of the performance did stand out, with the Saja Boys dressed in formal outfits reminiscent of classic doo-wop groups, contrasting with the more laid-back attire of Huntr/x. Despite this enjoyable visual component, fans still aspire for live renditions of songs beyond “Golden.” Speculations regarding a potential arena tour may bring the promise of future performances that could satisfy the depth fans are craving.
In a noteworthy solo performance, Audrey Nuna did take the stage in Australia back in March, singing “How It’s Done” solo, which received a warm response even without the full collaborative lineup.
As *KPop Demon Hunters* nears its first anniversary, promotional activities continue robustly, spotlighting both the film’s unexpected triumph and the eagerness from Netflix and Sony to capitalize on its fame. Fans can anticipate continued collaborations and content while they await the much-anticipated sequel, which is still a few years on the horizon.
