As Thanksgiving approaches, the lineup of balloons for the 99th annual Thanksgiving parade in New York City has been revealed. Fans of the popular animated series KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as beloved characters Sussie and Derpy Tiger are scheduled to make an appearance as spectacular floats.
This famous event takes place each year in the heart of New York, 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 popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
These two adorable animal mascots are featured in the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, the group Huntr/x is a K-pop girl group by day and a team of demon slayers by night, harnessing their musical power to repair the Honmoon and protect the human world from demonic threats. Similar to the show's main heroes and rivals, these mascots have gained a massive following of fans worldwide and are expected to be a standout attraction for audiences of all ages during the parade.
One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year 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 singing stars behind the main characters—Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey)—gave a live performance on a popular television program, delivering a breathtaking spectacular act.
Adding to the excitement, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are set to perform live during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Viewers can anticipate a show-stopping musical number from the group.
An upcoming sequel, 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 sequel that lives up to the original success. For now, everyone can look forward to the amazing inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
