SEO EUN KWANG
SEO EUN KWANG, member of the group BTOB, jumped on the latest wave of covers of “Golden,” brilliantly closing the chapter.
On August 14, SEO EUN KWANG posted a cover video of “Golden,” the hit Netflix soundtrack from “KPOP DEMON HUNTERS”, on his personal social media accounts. In the studio-recorded video, he performs the song in the original female vocal key, delivering steady breath control and flawless high notes.
Even during the intense high-register parts, he maintained a voice that was both strong and refreshing, with subtle expressiveness, confirming his status as the main vocalist of a group known for its talent. Upon release, the “Golden” cover video climbed to #2 on real-time trending charts on social media and, by August 20, had surpassed 550,000 views on YouTube, sparking an explosive reaction from fans worldwide.
Among the comments were: “It’s not Seo Eun Kwang, it’s Seo Geumkwang (Golden),” “I’ve listened to almost all the covers, but this one is by far the best,” and “When things like this drop, there should be an emergency alert!”, reflecting amused reactions.
Fans, aware of his reputation for struggling to memorize lyrics, also left teasing messages such as: “It must have been harder to remember the lyrics than to hit the high notes,” “It’s hilarious that Peniel taught him the English pronunciation,” and “The delay in posting the video wasn’t because of the high notes, but because of the English.”
Additionally, SEO EUN KWANG, recognized as one of the most talented vocalists among 3rd-generation K-pop idols, has already proven his exceptional voice by participating in numerous music shows such as “Immortal Songs” (KBS2) and “King of Mask Singer“ (MBC).
