"Golden," the catchy K-pop anthem from Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters," has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first song in the genre to earn an Oscar nomination. This groundbreaking honor not only validates the power of K-pop but also paves the way for future generations of artists.
The songwriters behind "Golden," Kim Eun-jae, Mark Sonnenblick, 24, Ido, and Teddy, have already made a name for themselves in the music industry with their previous wins, including the Critics Choice Award for best song and the Golden Globe for best original song. Now, they are set to take home gold – or rather, the Oscar – as their composition has been nominated for best original song at the 98th Academy Awards.
The journey of "Golden" is truly remarkable. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 list for eight weeks and currently holds a spot near the top of the Billboard Global 200. Its impact can be seen in its impressive chart performance, which serves as an anthem for the film's fictional K-pop group, HUNTR/X.
The song's success is not limited to its commercial appeal; it also resonates deeply with audiences worldwide. Singer-songwriter EJAE, who performed alongside Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami in the film, shared her gratitude on social media, expressing pride in her work and acknowledging the hard work that went into creating "Golden." Composer Mark Sonnenblick also celebrated the nomination, sharing celebratory posts on his Instagram story.
The co-directors of "KPop Demon Hunters," Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, were overjoyed with the news, calling it a "dream come true" for their team. They praised the dedication and passion that went into making the film, saying that the recognition is not just a testament to their own work but also to the hard work of everyone involved in the production.
The 98th Academy Awards will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and fans can tune in live on ABC and Hulu beginning at 7 p.m. ET to see if "Golden" takes home the coveted Oscar for best original song.
