‘SNL’ Video, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Sing ‘Golden,’ Bad Bunny – TVLine

The KPop Demon Hunters phenomenon is everywhere these days — even on Saturday Night Live . The mega-hit Netflix movie was at the center of a sketch in Saturday’s SNL season premiere, with host Bad Bunny playing a man named Thomas who was obsessed with the movie. In fact, he even labeled his brunch companions “stupid dummies” for not being as obsessed as he was. But he was comforted by the fact that “I have Huntr/x on my side,” imagining the band from the movie singing the chart-topping song “Golden,” with the real singers — Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — popping up in his fantasy. While his brunch mates insisted on talking about other subjects, Thomas screamed out in terror as the demon Jinu (played here by Bowen Yang) popped in to demand their souls — and to sing “Soda Pop,” which turned one of Thomas’ friends into a drooling demon. They were all saved, though, when Huntr/x joined them at the brunch table to sing “Golden,” complete with backup dancers.
