The short performance as part of a brunch-themed <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> sketch marks the first-ever live performance of the song by the three women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe ladies of Huntrix are set to make their first official and full-length performance of the song during Tuesday\u2019s episode of <em>The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/em>. They\u2019ll also be interviewed together. The news was announced last week, showing Fallon receiving a special invitation from some familiar faces for fans of <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe animated feature has become Netflix\u2019s most popular title ever. The project \u2014 which chronicles the adventures of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group comprised of three members who just happen to also fight monsters from the underworld \u2014 has been a surprise hit for the streamer, and its soundtrack has spent several weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.\u00a0<em>THR<\/em>\u00a0has confirmed that a\u00a0sequel film is in talks\u00a0at Netflix and Sony Animation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn August, Huntrix ended Alex Warren\u2019s long-running No. 1 streak to take the top spot on the chart. After a flip-flop the following week, the song returned to No. 1, where it remains. Two other songs from the film are in the top 10 of the Hot 100. \u201cYour Idol\u201d and \u201cSoda Pop,\u201d sung by the film\u2019s fictional boy group Saja Boys, sit at No. 3 and No. 5, respectively. Six other songs from soundtrack, including Twice\u2019s \u201cStrategy,\u201d are also charting on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tFollowing the appearance, EJAE, who also served one of the film\u2019s key songwriters, announced her debut solo single, \u201cIn Another World,\u201d which is set to be released on Oct. 24. \u201cI\u2019m so humbled and grateful for the love I\u2019ve received as a songwriter and the singing voice of Rumi from <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>. Getting so much exposure so quickly has been strange, exciting, and truthfully a little scary,\u201d she said in an Instagram post announcing the song. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cPeople keep referring to me as an \u2018artist\u2019 or a \u2018star\u2019 \u2014 which is everything 11-year-old EJAE dreamed of, but over the years, I became comfortable behind the scenes and I didn\u2019t think I was meant to be an artist,\u201d she continued. \u201cWriting this song helped me through a hard time, and I hope that sharing it can help others too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tSee the surprise <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> cameo on the <em>SNL<\/em> season 51 premiere below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday Night Live season 51 is off to a \u201cGolden\u201d start.
