Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters Continues its Reign with New 'Golden' Version
Despite a rocky start to 2026, Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters remains a force to be reckoned with. The show's massive success can still be felt through its soundtrack album, which has continued to rack up hits. At the forefront of this momentum is its standout track "Golden," whose popularity shows no signs of waning.
The latest iteration of the song, dubbed the "Glowin' Version," was recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live by the show's singing trio, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami. You can catch the energetic performance online now.
However, this isn't the first alternate version of the Huntr/x track. A quick glance at Spotify reveals that "Golden" has been reimagined in various styles, including a David Guetta REM/X version, an extended version of the REM/X track, and translations into French and Spanish. The song even has an a cappella rendition, making it clear that KPop Demon Hunters is committed to pushing its music boundaries.
With the merch from the film being relatively scarce, fans are eager to see more tie-in goodies before Netflix releases the highly anticipated sequel. Given the show's sudden surge in popularity, it's surprising that we haven't seen a flood of branded merchandise yet. It's clear that KPop Demon Hunters is here to stay for now.
As fans wait eagerly for KPop Demon Hunters 2 and new music from the show, it makes sense that the creative team would want to revisit their biggest hits like "Golden." By tweaking this earworm, they can keep the momentum going as long as possible.
