KPop Demon Hunters Floats to Make a Grand Appearance at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th annual Thanksgiving parade in New York City has been revealed. Fans 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 spectacular floats.
This famous event is held each year in the heart of New York, featuring a diverse array of inflatable figures from various pop-culture franchises. Past participants have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Introducing the Characters: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
These two adorable animal mascots are featured in the acclaimed animated series KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, the group Huntr/x is a K-pop girl group by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, using their voices to repair the Honmoon and protect the human world from invading demons. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, these mascots have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are sure to be a memorable highlight for audiences of all ages during the parade.
An Incredible 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 top-viewed movie on the streaming platform, received five nominations at the Grammys, and the singing stars behind the main characters—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—gave a live performance on a popular television program, delivering a breathtaking Honmoon-worthy act.
Making things even better, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are also scheduled to make an appearance during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Audiences can look forward to a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.
What's Next for the Franchise?
An upcoming sequel, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is said to be in the works, with a potential release in 2029. While it's a long wait, the immense popularity for the first movie suggests that audiences are eager for a follow-up worthy of the original success. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the incredible Derpy and Sussie balloons at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
