KPop Demon Hunters Balloons to Make a Grand Appearance at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the lineup of balloons for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been revealed. Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as fan-favorite mascots Sussie and Derpy Tiger are set to appear as giant balloons.
The parade takes place each year in the heart of New York, showcasing 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.
Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
These two adorable animal mascots appear throughout the acclaimed animated series KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, Huntr/x is a popular musical act by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, using their voices to repair the Honmoon and shield humanity from invading demons. Much like the show's main heroes and rivals, these mascots have won the hearts of fans worldwide and are expected to be a standout attraction for families and fans alike during the parade.
A Stellar Year for KPop Demon Hunters
It's no exaggeration to say that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has risen to number one as the top-viewed movie on the streaming platform, earned five nominations at the Grammys, and the vocal talents behind the main characters—Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey)—gave a live performance on a major late-night show, presenting a stunning spectacular act.
Making things even better, the talented trio are also scheduled to make an appearance during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Viewers can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
Future Plans 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 first movie indicates that audiences are eager for a follow-up worthy of the original success. For now, fans can enjoy the amazing inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the holiday parade.
