The group BABYMONSTER brought the world of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (Kedehun) to '2025 MAMA.' They transformed into the real-life Hentriks, captivating even the director and earning praise from fans around the world. After a satisfying performance, a meeting with Kedehun director Megi Kang was arranged, drawing the attention of global fans.
BABYMONSTER left a strong impression on the '2025 MAMA Awards' stage held at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on the 29th. That day members Parita, Ahyeon and Rora passionately performed 'Golden' from the Netflix animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' transforming into the real-life Hentriks and demonstrating overwhelming stage presence.
Parita, Ahyeon and Rora performed Hentriks' 'What It Sounds Like' and 'Golden' at this MAMA. Despite the songs requiring high-level vocal technique, they delivered flawless, steady live performances and received great response. 'Golden' is a song even the original artist finds difficult to perform, yet BABYMONSTER proved their top-level skill with explosive high notes and a stable live vocal. Fans responded, "It felt like seeing Kedehun come to life."
BABYMONSTER's performance of 'Golden' was unquestionably the most talked-about act at this year's MAMA. It ranked first in views on the official YouTube channel, and its buzz on online communities and social media was overwhelming. It shows how solidly skilled the team is.
BABYMONSTER's stage reportedly captivated not only fans around the world but also the director and production staff of Kedehun. Director Megi Kang reportedly praised BABYMONSTER's performance on stage and also met with them separately in the waiting room. The performance left a strong impression even on the director who made the work.
In particular, director Megi Kang attracted attention by publicly confirming that her daughter Rumi is a fan of BABYMONSTER. She posted a photo on her personal social media showing members of the Kedehun directing team and Netflix officials along with her daughter. The photo drew more attention because it showed the three BABYMONSTER members who became Hentriks in stage, costume and styling, meeting the Kedehun production team. As a symbolic meeting, it has drawn extraordinary interest from fans and industry insiders alike.
As BABYMONSTER cements its presence as a representative fifth-generation K-pop girl group, they once again concentrate the attention and expectations of the global fandom as the real-life Hentriks.
