KPop Demon Hunters has become a global sensation, and K-pop idols are also jumping on the train! The movie’s main song, “Golden,” has been covered on numerous occasions by different idols, including Ailee, S.E.S’ Bada, Wendy, Solar, and NMIXX’s Lilly. Famous for its high notes, the track has even been called difficult by these seasoned K-pop vocalists, and now BABYMONSTER’s Ahyeon is giving the track her own spin.
And while BABYMONSTER fans praised her bravery and confidence, not everyone was impressed. Some listeners said her voice didn’t match the song’s tone, calling her performance strained and overly loud. Others claimed it lacked control and finesse, and a few even worried that it could hurt BABYMONSTER’s image. Her fans defended her, saying the song challenges even the best vocalists and that she still pulled it off with determination.
The clip quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking thousands of comments. People debated whether Ahyeon’s attempt showed bold versatility or was simply wrong for her voice. Meanwhile, “Golden” remains one of the most challenging songs to cover this year, and also one of the bangers from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack.
