EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI li of HUNTR/X HUNTR/X K-POP GROUP HUNTR/X is a fictional K-pop girl group featured in Netflix’s animated film “KPop Demon Hunters”. performed at the BRIT Awards 2026. Check it out below.

The trio are the voices of the fictional band from the Netflix smash hit KPop Demon Hunters, and were nominated for International Group at the ceremony last night (February 28).

To mark the occasion, the group performed at the ceremony – becoming the first K-Pop act ever to do so.

Following Harry Styles’ opening performance, the trio gave a rendition of ‘Golden’ outside of the Co-op Live venue in Manchester, where the awards were held.

Some viewers pointed out that, by performing outside of the venue, their young fan base were able to join the crowd – given the age restrictions preventing them from attending the actual event inside.

As they reached the first chorus of the colossal hit, fireworks went off, with the band trading verses as they did at their recent BAFTA performance. Check it out below.
