Earlier this week, NBC's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon announced who they would have following Taylor Swift on Monday night, and it made a lot of fans of KPop Demon Hunters very happy. Huntr/x, the fictional girl group in Netflix's hit film KPop Demon Hunters, is set for the late-night talk show on Tuesday, October 7th, for their first-ever televised appearance and live performance. Along with some one-on-one interview time with Fallon, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami will perform the song "Golden." Ejae, Nuna, and Rei Ami sing the roles of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey (Huntr/X), respectively, in the film. (Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo voice the characters' spoken words). Well, it looks like NBC's Saturday Night Live may have one-upped Fallon a bit, with the trio appearing during tonight's Season 51 premiere. In the sketch, host Bad Bunny plays a man who is obsessed with Netflix's hit film – though it's not exactly impressing his tablemates (Sarah Sherman, Mikey Day, and Chloe Fineman). Then, there was Bowen Yang's Jinu, leader of the demon boy band Saja Boys, who challenged Bad Bunny's character. We won't spoil where it went from there…
