""Golden," a contender for the Oscar for original song, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for more than eight consecutive weeks, with three other numbers earning a place in the Top 10. As a result, the film's soundtrack hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and recently went platinum. With success has come an array of other opportunities as well. The group have since made a cameo on "Saturday Night Live" and performed on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.""
"A former K-pop trainee herself, she notes that many hopefuls spend years developing their craft and chemistry with future group members. "We were all individually our own person. They had their music career, and I have my career as a songwriter," she says. "[Becoming a K-pop group] later is unheard of with K-pop training.

A Netflix animated film produced a fictional K-pop trio, Huntr/x, whose music achieved major mainstream success in the United States. Their single "Golden" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for over eight consecutive weeks, while three other tracks reached the Top 10, driving the soundtrack to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and platinum certification. The group made high-profile TV appearances, including Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show. The trio members — Rei Ami, Ejae and Audrey Nuna — were established artists who came together after individual careers. Ejae contributed several tracks for the film, including "Golden," and highlighted the rarity of their late-formed group chemistry compared with traditional K-pop trainee systems.
