Netflix hit film ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ will bring its theme song, ‘Golden,’ to the Academy Awards stage.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on its official website on March 10 (local time) that EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — who provide the vocals for the film’s girl group, Huntrix — will perform ‘Golden’ at the 98th Academy Awards.

The performance will open with a fusion segment combining Korean traditional instruments and dance. The academy said it will highlight the folk elements and cultural inspiration behind the film before the three Huntrix vocalists continue with ‘Golden.’

Oscars executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan called the film “a movie that sparked a global pop-culture craze.”

On its official X account, the academy also posted: “Huntrix fans, light up your light sticks,” building anticipation for the stage.

‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ is nominated this year for best animated feature and best original song. After winning at the Golden Globe Awards in January and the Grammys last month, attention is also on its Oscar chances.

The 98th Academy Awards will be held March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
