Unexpected Legendary K-Pop Star Who Inspired Characters In The Movie Covers “KPop Demon Hunters” Song

The legend is back.

Bada, the powerhouse vocalist and leader of the iconic girl group S.E.S., has officially covered “Golden,” the central theme song from the upcoming action-fantasy film KPop Demon Hunters. The performance has struck a chord with longtime fans and new viewers alike — not just for its soaring vocals, but because of Bada’s unexpected connection to the film’s very origins.

It turns out that S.E.S. was the direct inspiration behind the movie’s fictional group “Sunlight Sisters” — a legendary girl group of the past generation who also doubled as demon hunters in the film’s universe.

The Sunlight Sisters play a crucial role in the backstory of the movie’s main characters, HUNTR/X, symbolizing the strength, femininity, and magical allure of K-pop’s early days.
