Introducing the Characters: Derpy Tiger and Sussie
Derpy Tiger and Sussie are featured in the acclaimed animated series KPop Demon Hunters.

Much like the show's main heroes and rivals, these mascots have gained a massive following of fans worldwide and are sure to be a standout attraction for audiences of all ages during the parade.
A Stellar Year for KPop Demon Hunters
One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters.

Making things even better, the talented trio are set to perform live during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Viewers can anticipate 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 expected debut in 2029.
