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

Making things even better, the talented trio are set to make an appearance 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?
