‘Golden’ from Kpop Demon Hunters Wins Golden Globe 2026 for Best Original Song

K-pop Demon Hunters created a global phenomenon with its popularity all around the world, and one of the crucial reasons behind that popularity was its soundtrack. The animated movie featured some of the best original songs, and ‘Golden’ is one of the standout creations. This song has received its credibility and well-deserved recognition by winning the award for Best Original Song at the Golden Globe 2026.

The credits for this song go to the giant team of artists, including Ejae, Yu Han Lee, Joong Gyu Kwak, Hee Dong Nam, Park Hong Jun, Jeong Hoon Seo, and Mark Sonnenblick as well. Together, they have beaten some of the major artists in the nomination list which includes Raphael Saadiq and Ludwig Göransson for “I Lied to You” from Sinners; Stephen Schwartz for Wicked: For Good’s soundtrack; Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, and Simon Franglen for “Dream as One” from ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ and lastly, Nick Cave and Bryce Dessner for Train Dreams.

It was quite a proud moment for the team of ‘Golden’ to accept the Golden Globe award, which was presented by Joe Keery and Charlie XCX. Overwhelmed at the moment, Ejae said, “Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for this incredible honor. I’m just so honored to be alongside the other nominees.” The artist further expressed the adversities that she had to overcome and said,” When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for ten years to fill one dream: to become a K-pop idol. I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn’t good enough. So I wrote songs and music to get through it.”
