K-pop Demon Hunters: Uncover the ‘Golden’ Korean Lyrics from Huntr/x’s Anthem
If you’ve been on Netflix lately, you may have seen the buzz around K-pop Demon Hunters—the animated film where Huntr/x, a fictional K-pop girl group, fights demons by night and tops the charts by day. Their hit single, “Golden”, has already hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making history for K-pop fans around the world.
But here’s the fun part: you can also use “Golden” to level up your Korean skills! 🎶
Let’s break down some key lines from the song and see how they connect to both the story and your language learning journey.
어두워진 앞길 속에 (eoduwajin apgil soge)
Translation: “In the darkened path ahead”
- 어두워진 = darkened (from 어두운 = dark)
- 앞길 = path ahead
- 속에 = inside / within
👉 Tip: Korean often builds meaning by stacking small parts together. (앞 + 길 + 속에 = “in the path ahead.”)
끝없이 (kkeuteopshi) on stage
Translation: “Endlessly on stage”
- 끝없이 = endlessly (끝 = end + 없이 = without)
Mira sings this line as a declaration of how she gets paid to be who she really is! Go Mira!
영원히 깨질 수 없는 (yeongwonhi kkaejil su eomneun)
Translation: “Forever unbreakable”
- 영원히 = forever
- 깨질 수 없는 = cannot be broken (깨지다 = to break + ㄹ 수 없다 = cannot do)
Grammar: “~ㄹ 수 없다” is a powerful structure meaning cannot [verb].
밝게 빛나는 우린 (balkke bitnaneun urin)
Translation: “We, shining brightly”
- 밝게 = brightly
- 빛나는 = shining / glowing
- 우린 = we (a friendly form of 우리 + 는)
Huntr/x reminds their fans that we shine brightly and this is our time!
Golden – Kpop Demon Hunters – Huntr/x – Full Lyrics
I was a ghost, I was alone
어두워진 앞길 속에 (ah)
Given the throne, I didn’t know how to believe
I was the queen that I’m meant to be
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides
But I couldn’t find my own place
Called a problem child ’cause I got too wild
But now that’s how I’m getting paid 끝없이 on stage
I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’ like I’m born to be
We dreamin’ hard, we came so far, now I believe
We’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment
You know together we’re glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, I’m done hidin’ now I’m shinin’ like I’m born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be
Waited so long to break these walls down
To wake up and feel like me
Put these patterns all in the past now
And finally live like the girl they all see
No more hiding, I’ll be shining like I’m born to be
‘Cause we are hunters, voices strong, and I know I believe
We’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment
You know together we’re glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up, with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, I’m done hidin’, now I’m shining like I’m born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be
You know we’re gonna be, gonna be golden
We’re gonna be, gonna be
Born to be, born to be glowin’
밝게 빛나는 우린
You know that it’s our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be
