The emotional impact of Netflix's blockbuster animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' will be vividly recreated on the stage of the Academy Awards (Oscars), the highest authority in the global film industry.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) announced on the 10th (local time) through its official channel that the vocalists of the girl group 'HuntRix', Lee Jae, Audrey Nuna, and Ray Ami, will perform a celebratory performance of the theme song 'Golden' at the 98th Academy Awards.
This stage will begin with a fusion performance combining traditional Korean instruments and dance. It is expected to be a meaningful occasion to introduce the folkloric elements and cultural beauty of Korea, which form the foundation of the film, to audiences around the world. Following this, the three vocalists of HuntRix will take the stage and heat up the venue with their explosive vocal power.
Academy Awards executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katie Mullen praised 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' as a global pop culture phenomenon. The Academy also urged fans for support through its official X account, further raising the expectations of global viewers.
'K-Pop Demon Hunters' has been nominated in two categories at this awards ceremony: Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. Having already swept the Golden Globe and Grammy Awards this year, recognized for both its artistic and musical qualities, all eyes are on whether it can achieve a grand slam by taking home the Oscar trophy as well.
The 98th Academy Awards, the biggest festival for filmmakers worldwide, will grandly kick off on the 15th at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA.
