On the heels of dropping a new symphonic rendition of their record-breaking single, the vocal trio behind the fictional K-pop group HUNTR/X—EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI—delivered a stunning, angelic performance of "Golden (Glowin' Version)" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The artists, who voice the characters Rumi, Mira, and Zoey in the hit Netflix animated film K-pop Demon Hunters, transformed the stage with a warm forest of string lights and the rich accompaniment of a live violin and cello section.

Dressed uniformly in black, their emotive performance highlighted the dramatic new arrangement, which adds a cinematic layer to an already soaring track that has spent eight consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. This "Glowin' Version," produced by a team including Ian Eisendrath and TEDDY, officially released just hours before the broadcast, offering fans a fresh perspective on the global phenomenon. The late-night appearance underscored the song's monumental success, which also includes a record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. With its elegant strings and atmospheric staging, the performance proved that "Golden" continues to evolve and captivate audiences worldwide.

‘Golden’ also won Best Song at the Critic’s Choice Awards together with the Best Animated Feature award. It’s a film that is more than just a girl group slaying demons for the sake of humanity, although that is both cool and vital. It is a film about loving who you are, that our imperfections do not define us and that friendship in its purity could never be broken. The story has touched massive fans and been critically acclaimed as one of the best of 2025.

The Grammys’ are next month, could K-pop Demon Hunters land more major milestones? So far it has made history with "Golden," earning five Grammy nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards (2026), these include Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media, Best Remixed Recording, and Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. 2026 looks promising award season for HUNTR/X.
