Why a Netflix-HUNTR/X ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Tour Could Be Complicated ...Middle East

News by : (billboard) -

Reports are swirling that Netflix may take its breakout film KPop Demon Hunters on the road, a possibility that would surely sell well within the live industry. However, no official confirmation has surfaced, and what’s been reported thus far appears to be in the earliest of stages.

While the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack featured two groups, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, the former quickly became a viral sensation. The soundtrack’s lead single, “Golden,” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making HUNTR/X the first K-pop girl group to hit the top spot. The track was nominated for four Grammys, including song of the year, and won one, winning for best song written for visual media. It also took home the Oscar for best original song (with all three HUNTR/X members — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI — performing during the ceremony) and a Golden Globe for best original song for a motion picture.

Following the film’s success — the movie has reached more than 500 million views on Netflix since its initial release in June 2025 —  the group’s members have made limited live appearances as a trio. Their first performance took place last October, when they took the stage on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to sing “Golden.” 

Demand for a live HUNTR/X show would be high, and any tour would be sure to make big money for all involved. But given how the band came together — as part of a fictional group for a film created for Netflix that is nonetheless comprised of real singers — an outing wouldn’t be straightforward, and a spokesperson for WME, which reps EJAE and Audrey Nuna, told Billboard they had not heard of any tour conversations happening. (Reps for UTA, which represents REI AMI, and Netflix did not respond to requests for comment.)

Below, Billboard breaks down what a possible tour might look like — and whether such a thing is even possible.

What’s been reported so far?

According to Bloomberg, Netflix is looking into some sort of tour involving KPop Demon Hunters ahead of the animated film’s sequel, which was announced on March 12 (no release date has yet been set). No promoter has been confirmed, and details for the tour continue to be worked out, sources told the publication.

While the ideal would include all three human members of HUNTR/X taking the stage as a group, the report floated the suggestion of utilizing virtual performers for a live show, possibly as holograms, instead of the actual singers.

Bloomberg suggests the supposed tour would enter arenas with stops in major markets.

(Saja Boys, the antagonist group in the film — made up of Danny Chung, Neckwav, Andrew Choi, Kevin Woo and samUIL — made their first public appearance on the Oscars red carpet and have yet to perform live together. They have not been connected publicly to discussions of a tour.)

Why would this be so complicated?

Simply put, there are different rights involved for the live performers vs. the animated characters, and multiple different parties are involved.

EJAE is managed by Nick Guilmette, senior director of A&R at Prescription Songs, and Audrey Nuna is managed by Soft Serve founder Paula Park; both are booked by WME. Meanwhile, REI AMI is managed by Tropf Management’s Aaron Tropf and booked by UTA. While tours among artists with different teams are not uncommon, it can add a layer of complication, while scheduling conflicts could also limit options.

Then there’s the Netflix angle. Should EJAE, Nuna and REI AMI tour without Netflix’s sign-off, they’d be able to perform the songs from the film, but could not reference KPop Demon Hunters, which Netflix owns as a trademark. That would be tough from a marketing standpoint, given the ubiquity of the film’s title compared to the singers’ names individually and as a group, unless they came to an agreement with Netflix on licensing the name for the tour.
