KPop Demon Hunters Floats to Make a Grand Appearance at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the lineup of balloons for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been revealed. Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have a special reason to celebrate, as fan-favorite mascots Sussie and Derpy Tiger are scheduled to make an appearance as spectacular floats.
This famous event is held annually in New York City, showcasing an impressive variety of inflatable figures from different corners of pop culture. Past participants have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to anime favorites like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
These two adorable animal mascots appear throughout the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, the group Huntr/x is a popular musical act by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, using their voices to restore the Honmoon and shield humanity from invading demons. Much like the show's main heroes and rivals, Derpy and Sussie have won the hearts of fans worldwide and are expected to be a standout attraction for families and fans alike during the parade.
An Incredible Year for KPop Demon Hunters
One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has risen to number one as the top-viewed movie on the streaming platform, earned 5 Grammy nominations, and the singing stars behind Huntr/x—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—recently performed on a major late-night show, presenting a stunning spectacular act.
Adding to the excitement, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are set to perform live during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Audiences can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
Future Plans for the Franchise?
A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is said to be in the works, with a potential release in 2029. Although fans will have to be patient, the immense popularity for the original film indicates that audiences are eager for a sequel that lives up to the first installment. In the meantime, everyone can look forward to the incredible inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
