All three singers lent their voices to the group Huntrix (HUNTR/X) in the film *KPop Demon Hunters*, with Rei Ami voicing the character Zoey. This year, the Netflix film – the most-watched in the platform's history – secured two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The song "Golden" became the first Kpop track to win an Oscar statuette. In her acceptance speech, director Maggie Kang dedicated the win to South Korea and the global Korean community.
