KPop Demon Hunters Floats to Make a Grand Appearance at the Iconic Thanksgiving Parade
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been unveiled. Enthusiasts of the popular animated series KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as beloved characters Sussie and Derpy Tiger are set to appear as spectacular floats.
This famous event is held annually in New York City, featuring a diverse array of inflatable figures from various pop-culture franchises. Previous appearances have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to anime favorites like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Introducing the Characters: Derpy Tiger and Sussie
These two adorable animal mascots appear throughout the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. Within the series' plot, Huntr/x is a popular musical act by day and a team of demon slayers by night, using their voices to restore the Honmoon and protect the human world from demonic threats. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, these mascots have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are expected to be a standout attraction for families and fans alike during the parade.
A Stellar Year for KPop Demon Hunters
One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has soared to the top as the most-watched film on Netflix, earned 5 Grammy nominations, and the singing stars behind the main characters—Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey)—recently performed on a popular television program, presenting a stunning Honmoon-worthy act.
Adding to the excitement, the talented trio are set to perform live during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Audiences can anticipate a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
Future Plans for the Franchise?
An upcoming sequel, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is reportedly in development, with a potential release in the year 2029. Although fans will have to be patient, the widespread love for the first movie indicates that audiences are eager for a follow-up worthy of the original success. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the amazing inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the holiday parade.
