The Huntr\/x singers couldn’t wait until ‘The Tonight Show’ to make their television debut.<\/b>
\nAlthough the women behind the fictional Kpop Demon Hunters trio Huntr\/x were supposed to make their live television debut performing on The Tonight Show, it looks like they just couldn\u2019t wait until Tuesday. Instead, they made a surprise early drop-in to 30 Rockefeller Plaza on Saturday night to join host Bad Bunny for an SNL sketch inspired by their hit Netflix movie and its runaway success among borderline obsessive fans.
In the sketch, Bad Bunny \u2014 who is celebrating the announcement of his Super Bowl Halftime Show in his second hosting appearance this year \u2014 plays one of those fans, who keeps derailing his friends\u2019 brunch conversation with talk of the animated film\u2019s plot and themes. At one point, he zones out during the discussion to vibe to \u201cGolden,\u201d the signature soundtrack hit, with Audrey Nuna, EJAE, and Rei Ami appearing in a thought bubble over his head, prompting appreciative applause from the audience.
However, as his friends, played by show regulars Chloe Fineman, Mikey Day, and Sarah Sherman, finally lose their patience, Bowen Yang pops out in character as KDH villain Jinu to sing the evil boy band Saja Boys\u2019 soul-sucking \u201cSoda Pop.\u201d That\u2019s when Bad Bunny evokes his favs, and the real-life Huntr\/x appear to perform their own evil-expelling hit (which Bowen can\u2019t help dancing along to). And yes, they sound just as good as they do in the film.
You can check out the sketch up top, and tune in to check out the group\u2019s true television debut on The Tonight Show Tuesday, October 7.<\/p>\n
