KPop Demon Hunters Singers Perform Surprise Live Debut on SNL Premiere

The singing voices behind the fictional K-pop girl group Huntr/x from the hit Netflix movie "KPop Demon Hunters"—Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami—made a surprise appearance on the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live, performing the song "Golden" in a sketch featuring host Bad Bunny. The sketch humorously portrayed Bad Bunny's character as a devoted fan of the movie, which centers on Huntr/x battling demons, culminating in the trio's live performance that saved the scene from the demon antagonist played by Bowen Yang. "KPop Demon Hunters" has become Netflix's most popular movie ever, with its soundtrack topping the Billboard charts and multiple songs charting on the Hot 100, including hits by the fictional boy group Saja Boys. Following the SNL appearance, Huntr/x is set for their first full televised live performance and interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The film's success has also sparked talks of a sequel, and one of the singers, Ejae, announced her debut solo single. This crossover into mainstream American television highlights the cultural impact and popularity of the "KPop Demon Hunters" phenomenon.
