Summary
- K-Pop Demon Hunters vocalists to perform at the Oscars.
- The performance will blend Korean instruments and dance.
- Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq to also perform a song.
The lead vocalists behind the hit Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" will perform at the upcoming Academy Awards. EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna are scheduled to perform their nominated song "Golden" during the ceremony on Sunday. This performance is set to feature a unique blend of traditional Korean instrumentalists and dance.
The song "Golden" was co-written by EJAE and represents a major career moment for the singers from the fictional group HUNTR/X. "KPop Demon Hunters" follows the story of three demon hunters who are also K-pop idols, battling supernatural threats while performing for fans.
American musician and actor Miles Caton will also make his Oscars performance debut. He will perform the film's nominated song "I Lied To You" alongside Raphael Saadiq. Their performance will be expanded into a blues-themed tribute featuring a star-studded lineup of musicians and performers.
The film "Sinners," which stars Michael B. Jordan, leads this year's Oscar nominations with a record 16 nods. The movie explores blues music and Black culture in the segregation-era U.S. South, using its vampire narrative as an allegory for segregation and racism.
