EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI li of HUNTR/X performed at the BRIT Awards 2026. Check it out below.
The trio are the voices of the fictional band from the Netflix smash hit KPop Demon Hunters, and were nominated for International Group at the ceremony last night (February 28).
To mark the occasion, the group performed at the ceremony – becoming the first K-Pop act ever to do so.
Following Harry Styles’ opening performance, the trio gave a rendition of ‘Golden’ outside of the Co-op Live venue in Manchester, where the awards were held.
Some viewers pointed out that, by performing outside of the venue, their young fan base were able to join the crowd – given the age restrictions preventing them from attending the actual event inside.
As they reached the first chorus of the colossal hit, fireworks went off, with the band trading verses as they did at their recent BAFTA performance. Check it out below.

KPop Demon Hunters was one of the biggest hits of 2025, becoming the most-watched film in Netflix history.
‘Golden’ took home the Best Song prize at the Golden Globes in January, and won the Grammy for Best Song Written For Visual Media. It is also nominated for an Oscar for Best Song this year.
‘Golden’ was named as the second best song of 2025 by NME, while KPop Demon Hunters was also included in the films of 2025 list. The sequel to the film, however, will reportedly not be released until at least 2030.
As for the BRITs, it was Olivia Dean who ended up dominating this year, winning four awards, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. See the full list of winners here.
Meanwhile, Robbie Williams led an all-star version of Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘No More Tears’, with the late Black Sabbath frontman being honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Tim Burgess paid tribute to The Stone Roses’ Mani.
