The sketch opened with host Bad Bunny portraying a brunch guest obsessed with the film, humorously insisting it was “not for kids.” His fixation triggered a dreamlike sequence that introduced the trio performing “Golden,” the film’s most popular track. Actor Bowen Yang joined them onstage as the demon character Jinu, performing “Soda Pop,” another fan-favorite from the movie’s soundtrack.
The SNL sketch quickly went viral online, with fans praising the unexpected crossover between Western late-night television and Kpop-inspired animation. Social media users described the performance as “a perfect surprise,” while others expressed excitement at seeing the cast bring the movie’s soundtrack to life on stage.
