Huntr/x — or EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna — appear in sketch where host Bad Bunny proclaims his love for the hit animated movie
Saturday Night Live took on the pop culture phenomenon that is KPop Demon Hunters with a sketch that featured a surprise appearance by the three singers behind the animated film’s hit songs.
The sketch revolved around four friends — including host Bad Bunny — discussing the movie while eating brunch at a trendy restaurant. Bad Bunny’s character revealed his love of KPop Demon Hunters, which he watches repeatedly despite not having any kids.
“It’s actually not for kids. It’s for smart adults,” Bad Bunny’s Thomas tells his friends. When the conversation drifts toward music, Thomas again proclaims his fondness for KPop Demon Hunters. “In KPop Demon Hunters, songs are not just songs. They are weapons,” he said. “What else is gonna save you from demons, you idiot.”

The sketch continues down this path until Bowen Yang shows up uninvited as one of the demons from the film, possessing Sarah Sherman by singing the hit “Soda Pop.” Thankfully, Huntr/x — or EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, who voiced the K-pop trio in the film — are also at the restaurant, vanquishing the demon with their song “Golden.”
The surprise appearance of Huntr/x marked the group’s first-ever performance, albeit in abbreviated form. However, on Tuesday, the trio will stage their first full performance together when they serve as musical guest on The Tonight Show.
