Pre-tournament poll: Should Demon Hunters be included? (1 Viewer)

[velvet]

@Selfmate asked if Golden can be added and I honestly am decisive over it. My main criteria for the submission is they were promoted/relevant in Korea (and by extension the K-pop sphere), which Golden was/is, though my main reservation is that it's more of a western soundtrack than an actual K-pop song. It's better that I let you guys, the voters, decide because I don't want to let my opinion affect your experiences of the contest.
So, do you think that K-pop Demon Hunters should be allowed? The poll's open for a week so you guys have time to think it over and what not.

I said no jbc I'm afraid it'll overpower everything else and will seem rigged if it wins. idk that just might be me, though

 

[Nina]

I say yes. The title of the movie is kpop demon hunters.

 

[centen]

Sure. Last year, there were songs I knew would do extremely well and songs I knew wouldn't make it past the first round.

Golden is written by a former kpop trainee turned songwriter/soloist, sung by Koreans, and contains Korean. If you'd allow TWICE's "This is For" or P1Harmony's "Ex" then idk why "Golden" shouldn't count.

Also, cough, @Selfmate I spot a name change.

Agreed!

I think it’s easiest to must say kpop adjacent counts in general (like Katseye). Granted you can argue still about what that means, but it’s still easier than picking out what’s kpop enough and what’s not.

 

[Boyo]

Maybe, we immediately have a winner if we add it, but why not? Who can decide if it’s kpop kpop or not and if it’s not, why not?

 

[chiefchilly1]

It can rig the voting BUT doesn’t that make it song of the year? lol

 

[athenaaa]

If kpop adjacent like Katseye is allowed, so should Golden (or any other song from the soundtrack)

 

[velvet]

Exactly, this is why I'm asking y'all to vote cause it seems like the community is what makes something K-pop, not necessarily the music itself. I'm already strict enough on what I allow lmao

Let's just hope people don't choose it over and over again, 🙏 😔

doesn't that just mean it's a great song?

 

[Selfmate]

also obviously my vote would be yes for any of kpop demon hunter's inclusion

 

[The_LastRomeo]

doesn't that just mean it's a great song?

Obviously not better than others but sure

 

[Selfmate]

Obviously not better than others but sure
