Preface: been a kpop fan for like twenty years. Attempted to advocate for kpop to be played on Western radios in early 2010s as a teenager (to no avail of course, lol). I'm not Korean, just an Asian person who revels in other Asians succeeding. I adore this song. From the production to the talented voices. It has truly achieved great things. BUT. I'm bitter that it took a whole animated movie for people to realise how much effort goes into the production of Korean music. I hope the voices the behind the song (Audrey Nuna, Ejae, Rei Ami) get more appreciation and get to sing this live at some stage. They're not just cartoon characters and deserve all the recognition and appreciation. Not to mention, the producers. Teddy Park is a household name in Korean music production, so he along with the others, also deserve recognition and appreciation. Golden is a win for Koreans, but if you read between the lines, it really isn't. The consequences of its success kind of feels like it derailed the progress of Koreans breaking into the industry. This song is one of the very few to make it globally, so let's not take the true artists for granted. (BTS doesn't really count because their music is only popular within the ARMY fandom, don't kill me pls, but you have to be naive not to see this). Also, it didn't really help that IZNA performed Golden at KCON, but lip-synced. Capitalizing on non-mainstream artists' voices is a bit... iffy. submitted by /u/AcrobaticEconomics76 [link] [comments]
