BABYMONSTER just took over the 2025 MAMA Awards — and the internet.
Their live performance of “Golden,” the OST from Netflix’s hit animation K-Pop Demon Hunters, has exploded to the No.1 most-viewed MAMA stage this year.

6.68 Million Views and Counting — No.1 Most Viewed MAMA Stage

On December 2, Mnet’s official YouTube channel dropped BABYMONSTER’s “What It Sounds Like” and “Golden” stage videos.
Both quickly surpassed 6.68 million views, rising to the top of all 2025 MAMA performances.

The members — Parita, Ahyeon, and Rora — recreated the 3-member exorcist girl group HUNTRIX from the film with costumes and styling that matched the original animation perfectly.

Ahyeon’s Viral Moment: Full High Key + Dolphin Ad-lib

Ahyeon shocked fans by performing “Golden” in the original key — fully live, finishing with a dolphin-level high note ad-lib that instantly went viral.

Fans reacted:

  • “I can’t believe she did that live.”
  • “That final ad-lib was unreal.”

Some commented that the song’s difficulty pushed her limits, but the majority praised her ambition, power, and control.

Netflix Korea Also Posted the Performance

Netflix Korea uploaded BABYMONSTER’s version of “Golden” on its official YouTube channel, giving the group global visibility and adding more hype to K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Their Other Stage Ranked No.2

Their second performance, “WE GO UP + DRIP,” has surpassed 5.67 million views, making it:

The No.2 most-viewed stage of 2025 MAMA.

This means BABYMONSTER now holds both #1 and #2 — a massive achievement for a rising group.

KOREA FBI Insight :

“BABYMONSTER didn’t just recreate animated characters — they brought virtual idols into reality at the highest level. Their harmony, live execution, and ability to turn a fictional group into a believable performance is absolutely top-tier.”

Final Take

BABYMONSTER’s MAMA performance proves:

  • Their vocal power is growing fast
  • Their connection to K-Pop Demon Hunters boosts global recognition
  • They’re emerging as a next-generation K-pop powerhouse loved by Gen Z

The group’s momentum is only getting stronger — expect even bigger viral moments ahead.
