The demon-slaying, stage-performing trio of HUNTR/X is in their charting era, and the momentum only continues to go up, up, up. A KPop Demon Hunters pop-up is set to land in Singapore from 22 December 2025 to 11 January 2026, coming as part of a tour that begins in Seoul on 4 December.
Singapore is next on the list, followed by Bangkok (24 December to 15 January 2026), Tokyo (26 December to 11 January), and Taipei (3 to 18 January). Event specifics, such as location and ticketing or booking details, have yet to be announced, but the guide for the Seoul stop reveals themed zones featuring both the girl group and the Saja Boys.
Starting with the “How It’s Done” segment, which invites visitors to fight demons alongside Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, the experience leads into a performance of “Soda Pop”, a peek into Rumi’s room, a stroll on the rooftop of the Hanok, and set pieces spotlighting “Your Idol” and, of course, “Golden”, among others. Fans can also look forward to receiving a balloon of Derpy – the adorable supernatural blue tiger from the film – after completing the stamp rally, and customising their bags and keyrings with themed patches at the Wapen Maker area.
It’s unclear whether the Singapore stop of the KPop Demon Hunters pop-up will offer the same features and merchandise, which include mini CD keychains of both group’s soundtracks, plushies of Derpy and Sussie, Jinu’s hat-wearing bird familiar, and fleece jackets for the Seoul leg, as shared by event organiser b.stage.
Since its debut in late August, the animated flick has become a worldwide sensation with over 300 million views on Netflix, making it the streamer’s most-watched show to date. While all of the original soundtracks entered music charts around the world, some naturally ranked higher than others, the phenomenal success of “Golden”, the hit song written by singer-songwriter EJAE (who also provides the singing voice for Rumi), is on a different level – not only did it top the Billboard global charts for numerous weeks, it most recently earned five Grammys nominations, including Song of the Year. A sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is currently in the works, with a release set for 2029.
