With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the lineup of balloons for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been unveiled. Fans 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.
The parade takes place annually in New York City, featuring an impressive variety of inflatable figures from different corners of pop culture. Previous appearances have included everything from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Meet the Mascots: Derpy Tiger and Sussie
Derpy Tiger and Sussie are featured in the acclaimed animated series KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, Huntr/x is a K-pop girl group by day and a team of demon slayers by night, harnessing their musical power to restore the Honmoon and protect the human world from invading demons. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, these mascots have gained a massive following of fans worldwide and are expected to be a memorable highlight for families and fans alike during the parade.
An Incredible Year for KPop Demon Hunters
It's no exaggeration to say that this year has belonged of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has risen to number one as the most-watched film on Netflix, earned five nominations at the Grammys, and the vocal talents behind Huntr/x—Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey)—gave a live performance on a major late-night show, presenting a breathtaking Honmoon-worthy act.
Adding to the excitement, the talented trio are set to perform live during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Audiences can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
What's Next for the Franchise?
A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is reportedly in development, with a potential release in 2029. While it's a long wait, the widespread love for the original film indicates that fans will gladly wait for a follow-up worthy of the original success. In the meantime, everyone can look forward to the amazing inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the holiday parade.
