Zoey

Status: Active HUNTR/X memberYears active: 2025-present

Zoey is HUNTR/X’s rapper, lyricist and Korean American maknae. She is fast with a joke, faster with a blade and quietly worried that she is never Korean enough in one room or American enough in another. The film gives that split identity to the person writing the group’s words, which is not accidental.

Before the Honmoon cracked

Born and raised in Burbank, California, Zoey comes to Korea carrying enthusiasm and a cultural identity that does not fit a clean checkbox. HUNTR/X gives her belonging, but belonging does not instantly remove insecurity. Her section of “Golden” is about doubt and identity, not a random breakup hidden in a fantasy movie.

Music, battles and character work

Zoey’s rap changes the energy of HUNTR/X songs without separating her from the vocal story. In battle, she uses throwing knives and speed. In the group, she uses humor to keep pressure from sitting still too long. When Rumi’s secret breaks open, Zoey is hurt and confused rather than reduced to a neutral peacekeeper.

The panda side quest

Ji-young Yoo voices Zoey in dialogue; REI AMI provides the singing voice. REI AMI’s own work jumps between sweetness, menace, rap and alt-pop, which makes the casting click immediately. Also inspect the Korean folk-art thread behind Derpy Tiger and Sussie. Zoey may be the maknae, but the actual side-quest champions are still a tiger shaped like a dropped dumpling and one judgmental magpie.

Fandom notes and things the fact box misses

California file: Burbank is part of her identity, not a footnote used to explain English lyrics.
Lyrics: Zoey helps write HUNTR/X songs, giving the youngest member control over language.
Knives: small, fast and accurate—basically her performance style with sharper consequences.
Maknae energy: bright does not mean emotionally uncomplicated.

RaeRae take: Zoey is the person laughing while mentally checking whether everybody else received a rulebook she missed. That Korean American in-between feeling gives the giant fantasy a very ordinary ache. I like that the movie lets the funny one have interior weather without turning off the jokes.

YouTube tracking history

Zoey’s canonical video record begins with Sony Animation’s official “How It’s Done” lyric videoDaily+377.1KTotal views529.6M. It documents HUNTR/X as an in-story group while keeping Zoey, Mira and Rumi as the member identities. Official song uploads should be attached to Zoey’s profile, the HUNTR/X group profile and REI AMI’s separate Artist profile when her singing credit applies. The shared recording creates linked credits, not duplicate character pages.
