Singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, who portray the animated KPop Demon Hunters musical trio HUNTR/X, appeared as musical guests on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live episode. The group performed an updated version of their Grammy-nominated soundtrack song, “Golden.”
Following its premiere on Netflix last fall, KPop Demon Hunters quickly became the streamer’s most popular film of all time. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack entered the Billboard 200 Albums chart Top 10 and “Golden” reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. The album became the first film soundtrack to simultaneously place four songs within the Hot 100 Top 10.
“Golden” — whose songwriting credits include EJAE, Park Hong Jun, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo and Mark Sonnenblick — is currently nominated for the Song Of The Year Grammy Award. Additional Grammy nominations include Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written For Visual Media, as well as Best Remixed Recording for David Guetta’s remix of the track.
The 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 1. Stream the “Golden (Glowin Version)” single via various formats and watch the HUNTR/X performance on Kimmel below:
