Former S.E.S member Bada has captured the essence of K-pop by covering the OST "Golden" from "K-Pop Demon Hunters."
Bada posted a cover video of "Golden" on her personal YouTube channel on the evening of the 23rd.
"Golden" is the OST for the animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (abbreviated as KDH), which is currently creating a global syndrome on Netflix. Thanks to the popularity of "KDH" and the song's own charm, "Golden" is sweeping the Billboard charts.
As a result, various K-pop singers and vocalists are continuing to cover "Golden." Bada has joined in on this trend. With her visuals reminiscent of Lumi from "KDH," featuring blonde hair and a purple ribbon, Bada's unique clear high notes captivated listeners.
Moreover, Bada added "Dear Ejae" to the title of the cover video. Ejae is the composer and vocalist of "Golden" and performs as the protagonist Lumi in "KDH." Notably, Ejae is known to have aspired to debut as an idol for 10 years as a trainee under SM Entertainment. Furthermore, he is also the grandson of actor Shin Young-kyun.
Bada, also a member of the first-generation S.E.S under SM Entertainment, was seen as a mentor to Lumi, raising and nurturing her like a daughter. The motif of the predecessor hunter group has also been said to be S.E.S. As a result, Bada's shout-out to Ejae has sparked a warm connection among K-pop idols and trainees, creating a sense of consolidation.
"KDH" is an animated film that joyfully portrays the battle between a girl group, the Huntress, who sings to protect the spirit world from evil spirits, and a boy group, the Lion Boys, who oppose them, all centered around K-pop. Even in its fifth week of release, it continues to rank first in movie viewing on Netflix, breaking new records.
