KPop Demon Hunters Balloons 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 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been unveiled. Enthusiasts of the popular animated series KPop Demon Hunters have a special reason to celebrate, as fan-favorite mascots Derpy Tiger and Sussie are set to appear as giant balloons.
The parade takes place annually in New York City, showcasing an impressive variety of balloons from different corners of pop culture. Previous appearances have included characters ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Introducing the Characters: Derpy Tiger and Sussie
Derpy Tiger and Sussie appear throughout 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 invading demons. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, Derpy and Sussie have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are sure to be a standout attraction for audiences of all ages during the parade.
A Stellar 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 most-watched film on Netflix, earned five nominations at the Grammys, and the singing stars behind Huntr/x—Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey)—gave a live performance on a popular television program, presenting a stunning spectacular act.
Making things even better, the talented trio are set to perform live during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Audiences can look forward to a show-stopping musical number from the group.
Future Plans for the Franchise?
A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is said to be in the works, with a expected debut in 2029. While it's a long wait, the widespread love for the original film suggests that fans will gladly wait for a follow-up worthy of the first installment. For now, fans can enjoy the incredible Derpy and Sussie balloons at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
