Fresh off of earning K-pop’s first-ever Grammy Award, the stars of Netflix’s smash hit KPop Demon Hunters will perform at the BAFTA Film Awards later this month.
EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami will perform the movie’s headlining track, “Golden,” marking their first time performing live outside of the United States.
In a statement released Tuesday, the group said they were “proud” to perform at Britain’s biggest night in film, adding that it’s a “golden moment that our younger selves could never have imagined.” The BAFTAs will air on Sunday, Feb. 22.
“It does feel so miraculous in some ways and destined in other ways … We’re just trying to process it all,” Nuna told reporters after “Golden” took home the award for Best Song For Visual Media at Sunday’s Grammys.
“This is crazy because this is like a historical moment for you know, as being a Korean American,” EJAE added. “It’s a song that also represents Korea.”
Speaking to Rolling Stone in August about the unexpected success of the movie and the positive reaction to the songs, songwriter Mark Sonnenblick said the team “believed in the music,” and the overwhelming response is “a testament to the hundreds of people who worked on this film.”
