and Audrey Nuna - attended the ceremony on January 11, marking a major global moment for the trio.

While celebrating their success, the trio also revealed the one celebrity they were most eager to meet at the prestigious event - Marvel star Mark Ruffalo.
HUNTRIX trio loves Hulk
Speaking on the Golden Globes red carpet with
Variety, the three artists shared their admiration for Ruffalo, best known worldwide as Hulk in the MCU. Rei Ami revealed that she did spot the actor during the red carpet event but chose not to approach him. She explained that interrupting him would have felt rude, even though she was thrilled to see him in person. However, she also made it clear that her fondness for the actor is not because she wants to bag a role in Marvel, it is genuine. The group also expressed their fondness for Ruffalo’s performance in the cult romantic comedy
13 Going on 30, calling it a classic they genuinely love.
Their win marked a defining moment for
KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, with
Golden becoming a fan-favourite well before awards season due to its catchy hook and powerful vocals.
Mark Ruffalo on the red carpet
Mark Ruffalo himself made headlines with a subtle but impactful statement at the red carpet. The actor wore a small badge reading 'Be Good' as he walked the red carpet. The pin carried strong political and humanitarian significance, tied to ongoing protests and activism surrounding immigration enforcement in the United States. Ruffalo was not alone, as Wanda Sykes and other industry figures were also seen wearing 'Be Good' pins.
The 'Be Good' badge is part of the ACLU-endorsed #BeGood campaign, organised by a collective of industry professionals and supported by groups including Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance and Working Families Power. The campaign aims to encourage compassion and civic responsibility, urging people “to be good to one another in the face of such horror - to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human.” This is in the wake of an ICE agent shooting a US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.
