K-Pop Performer Jobs | Little Princess Parties – NYC & Tri-State

New York City’s character entertainment scene is opening up opportunities for performers of Korean/AAPI descent, as Little Princess Parties, a Manhattan-based company, actively seeks talent to portray characters from its new K-Pop Demon Hunter events, alongside traditional fairytale roles. The company, which serves Manhattan and the Tri-State area, is looking to fill roles portraying Rumi and other characters from the HUNTR/X universe, a venture blending K-Pop aesthetics with a fantasy narrative.

This hiring push reflects a growing trend within the character entertainment industry to prioritize authentic representation and cater to increasingly diverse audiences. Little Princess Parties isn’t simply offering princess appearances; they’re expanding into a niche that specifically requires performers who can accurately embody characters rooted in Korean and broader AAPI culture. This move comes as K-Pop’s global influence continues to surge, impacting not just music but also fashion, entertainment, and even children’s parties.

The company, described as “boutique, high-end,” provides character entertainment for birthday parties and other events. According to their posting, pay starts at $100 for a 30-minute event and $150 for an hour, with the potential for additional earnings through tips and travel bonuses. The position is presented as a flexible “gig job” with paid training, accommodating performers’ existing schedules. Little Princess Parties emphasizes its commitment to professionalism and a positive experience for both performers and clients, as evidenced by recent accolades including being named Best Party and Event Company in 2024.

The requirements for the position are relatively straightforward. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have part-time weekend availability. A key skill is the ability to learn and perform basic K-Pop choreography, highlighting the unique demands of the K-Pop Demon Hunter roles. Comfort working with children and a demonstrated ability to lead activities with energy and enthusiasm are also essential. Beyond these skills, the company values professionalism, punctuality, kindness, and a willingness to learn.

While previous experience as a performer or character entertainer is considered a plus, it’s not a requirement. The company is prioritizing finding individuals who can authentically portray the characters and connect with audiences. Having reliable transportation is “special consideration,” suggesting that performers may be traveling to various event locations throughout the New York metropolitan area. Joy’s Princess Parties NYC, another prominent player in the NYC princess entertainment market, also operates in a similar space, offering princess-themed parties and corporate events, and emphasizing the use of professional actors and singers.

The demand for princess and character entertainment in the New York area appears robust. Joy’s Princess Parties NYC serves a wide geographic area, including Queens, Astoria, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Yonkers, Long Island, the Hamptons, New Jersey, and Connecticut, indicating a significant market for these services.

The application process is simple: prospective performers are asked to submit 1-3 recent photos, dance footage (if available), and any relevant experience to [email protected]. The posting doesn’t specify a closing date, but the event is listed with a duration starting February 14, 2026, suggesting a relatively immediate need for talent. The salary range is listed as $100.00 – $400.00 per hour, reflecting the variable nature of gig work and potential for higher earnings based on event length and additional factors.

This opportunity from Little Princess Parties represents a unique intersection of several cultural trends: the enduring popularity of fairytale princesses, the explosive growth of K-Pop, and a growing demand for diverse representation in entertainment. For performers of Korean/AAPI descent with a passion for performance and a willingness to embrace both traditional and contemporary roles, this could be a compelling opportunity to bring a little magic to the lives of children in the New York area.
