Huntr/x at VMAs: Lee Jae, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna, take voices behind 'Golden' to present at awards show

Lee Jae, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna, the voice actors behind the animated hit 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', are set to appear as presenters at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. The trio, all Korean American, give voice to Huntr/x's Rumi, Joy, and Mira respectively, marking a crossover from the recording booth to a primetime music spotlight at New York's UBS Arena. Lee Jae voices leader Rumi, Rei Ami performs as Joy, and Audrey Nuna brings Mira to life, forming the core of the group's musical identity that has resonated beyond animation circles. According to MBN News, their growing cultural presence reflects how the franchise has expanded from streaming screens to major award stages, powered by a soundtrack that connects with global audiences. The three artists recorded pivotal tracks for the in-universe group, including 'Golden', 'How It's Done', and 'Takedown', songs that helped translate on-screen mythology into real-world chart traction. The standout single 'Golden' has held No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, reinforcing the project's grip on U.S. charts as the VMAs approach. Consistent strength across streaming, radio, and sales underpins the song's ubiquity, while companion tracks from the project continue to benefit from the halo effect of its sustained run. 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' continues to rank as Netflix's most-watched title by platform metrics, a rare achievement across both film and TV. Strong OST engagement, durable international top-10 placements, and social buzz have positioned the animated action-fantasy as a cross-market powerhouse, extending its reach from fandom communities to mainstream award-show audiences.
