KATSEYE and ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ stars team up for Coachella

Stars of KPop Demon Hunters joined KATSEYE at Coachella over the weekend for a performance of hit song Golden.

The Los Angeles girl group made their debut at the festival on Friday and during the slot surprised fans when they started singing the breakout song from the Netflix animated film.

They were quickly joined on stage by stars EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, who provide the singing voices of the fictional band HUNTR/X.

“It’s truly an honour to be performing with KATSEYE, guys!” EJAE said on stage after the performance.

KPop Demon Hunters follows the band, who moonlight as demon hunters and fight rival boy band The Saja Boys, who are secretly demons.

The movie became a huge hit following its release last year, going on to become the most-streamed film in Netflix’s history, while a sequel is also in the works.

EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami recently performed Golden at the BAFTAs and Oscars, while the film won Best Animated Film and Best Original Song at the latter ceremony.

In other news, it was confirmed earlier this year that KATSEYE member Manon was taking a “temporary hiatus” from the group, with her future unclear as she didn’t perform with the band at Coachella.

Additionally, she removed the band’s name from her Instagram bio and was also absent from the teaser of their latest single, Pinky Up.

Addressing her hiatus earlier this month, Manon thanked fans “for all the love and support you’ve been sending my way.”

“I’m really grateful for the patience and kindness everyone has shown during this time,” she added on Weverse. “HxG and I are having positive conversations and I feel supported. I’m happy and I’m healthy. I’ll share more soon. Thank you for always being there for me.”
