STAYC 'Golden' Live Performance

STAYC performed “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Rapper BewhY invited them to the stage. The addition of a live band was a fortunate element for STAYC. It was unfortunate that the original video could only be accessed from Korea.

JJ, as the goddess of virtue, portrayed not forceful expressions but the overcoming of anguish and sorrow. Yoon expressed a sense of justice with natural ease and portrayed challenge. Sieun closed her eyes, emptied her emotions with practiced control, and refrained from revealing the song’s wrath held in silence.

The three members sat hand in hand. ISA resonated with the song, Seeun received it calmly, and Sumin stared straight at the explosive sound with anxious focus.

When the first playback of the video ended, fans instinctively felt the song’s intensely dominant nature—and sensed that fallen angels were about to descend and cling to the screen. Fans began confronting haters across multiple videos. A fake rumor claiming the vocals had been manipulated began to spread, and when it reached sites capable of identifying the source, it was immediately reported to the company. The company checked the email within three minutes of receiving it—at 2 a.m. on a holiday. Before the morning was over, the fake news had vanished.
