THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS DREAM POSSIBLE!”. His speaking counterpart, Alan Lee, also reflected on the milestone, describing the film’s success as a highlight of his career.
May Hong & Audrey Nuna (Mira)
In typical Mira fashion, the voice actor and singing voice for the visual and main dancer of HUNTR/X, May Hong and Audrey Nuna, kept it simple, with the former quoting lyrics from “How It’s Done” on Instagram stories, and the latter simply resharing it on her own page.
Ji-young Yoo & Rei Ami (Zoey)

Her singing counterpart, Rei Ami, was more emotional, writing on her personal page: “Thank you, omg I can’t stop crying. Honoured to be a part of this. Wow. Thank you.”
In other news, according to Variety, Sony and Netflix are in early talks of a potential sequel. Director Maggie Kang said in an interview that she hopes to expand the story by exploring the other members of HUNTR/X. “We’ve set up so much for potential backstory. Obviously, there are a lot of questions that are left unanswered and areas that are not explored, and we had to do that because there’s only so much movie you could tell in 85 minutes,” she said.
