\n\tDuring the Oscars on Sunday (March 15), best animated feature film of the year was one of the first awards of the evening \u2014 and it went to the smash hit KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>. <\/p>\n \n\tIt was the first nomination and win for the team of Maggie Kang, Chris Appelhans and Michelle L.M. Wong. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFor those of you who look like me, I\u2019m so sorry it took so long to see us in a movie like this,\u201d said Kang as the cameras panned to the singing voices of HUNTR\/X (Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami and EJAE) tearing up in the audience. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMovies have the power to connect us\u2026across borders,\u201d added Appelhans, before Wong thanked their partners for their endless support. <\/p>\n \n\tKPop Demon Hunters<\/em> also appears in the category for achievement in music written for motion pictures (original song) with \u201cGolden\u201d (music and lyric by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seon and Teddy Park). <\/p>\n \n\tThe Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit is performed by Nuna, Rei Ami and EJAE in the film \u2014 and will also be performed by the trio during the ceremony this evening. <\/p>\n \n\tLast week, it was announced that the singing voices of HUNTR\/X were named Billboard\u2019s Women of the Year ahead of the annual event in April.
