Cast of KPop Demon Hunters Appears on Multiple U.S. Late-Night TV Shows and Participates in Award Events

The cast of Netflix’s animated series *KPop Demon Hunters* is gaining global attention through appearances on major American media outlets. Following the strong response from the film’s voice cast appearing on *Jimmy Fallon Show* in October 2025, U.S. late-night TV shows have begun inviting the cast one after another at the beginning of 2026.

EJAE, Audrey Nuuna, and Ray Aimi — the singers who performed the theme song “Golden” for the film — are set to make their debut appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* on Thursday, January 8. They first appeared on television in their October 2025 *Jimmy Fallon Show* stint, where they gave an interview and delivered the first full-group live performance of “Golden.” After that, they also performed at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. That October appearance became the most streamed late-night clip of 2025, accumulating 379 million views and 39 million interactions across all social media platforms.

Meanwhile, the English dub actors for the film, Aden Cho and Ahn Hyo-seop, will make their first appearance on *Jimmy Fallon Show* on Monday, January 12. This will be the first time the two actors, who provide the English voices for Rumi and Jinu, appear together, marking their debut on U.S. late-night TV as well. Kristen Wiig and Ashton Kutcher are also scheduled to appear in that episode, with a musical performance handled by Ty Myers.

On January 4, EJAE, Audrey Nuuna, and Ray Aimi showcased elegance in black evening gowns at the Critics’ Choice Awards. EJAE wore a corseted ball gown, Audrey Nuuna chose a dramatic full-skirted shift dress with sleeves from Marc Jacobs, and Ray Aimi donned a sleek full-length cutout gown with wide leg slits. All three had just finished performing at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve event in Las Vegas.

In a recent interview, EJAE described the process of creating “Golden,” saying, “It was really difficult to balance pop music with opera-style music.” He continued, “I kept joking that if I could do this, I’d be a genius.” He added, “I’m here now, and it feels incredibly surreal to have my efforts validated, proving that hard work pays off eventually.” He revealed that he had been a K-pop trainee for 12 years starting at age 11 but was rejected. Afterward, he became obsessed with production and beat-making, eventually pursuing a new career as a music producer.
