Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as fan-favorite mascots Sussie and Derpy Tiger are set to appear as spectacular floats.
This famous event takes place annually in New York City, showcasing a diverse array of balloons from different corners of pop culture. Previous appearances have included everything from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to popular anime series like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger
Derpy Tiger and Sussie appear throughout the hit animated show KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, Huntr/x is a K-pop girl group by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, harnessing their musical power to restore the Honmoon and protect the human world from demonic threats.

Making things even better, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are also scheduled to perform live during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Viewers 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 reportedly in development, with a potential release in 2029. While it's a long wait, the widespread love for the original film suggests that audiences are eager for a sequel that lives up to the first installment. For now, fans can enjoy the incredible inflatable versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie at the upcoming Thanksgiving parade.
