More than a year after “Golden” took over the charts, Netflix has finally posted the dance. The streamer uploaded a 3-minute-28-second official choreography video for the KPop Demon Hunters anthem to its main YouTube channel on Tuesday, October 27, and the clip had passed 730,000 views by early Wednesday afternoon on the US East Coast. The routine is credited to NAIN, who dances it with two others, Sharon and KINA. No animated idols, no demons, no arena: three dancers carrying the moves that fans have been reverse-engineering from film clips since the movie arrived in June 2025. It is part of a wider push. In the same week Netflix put out a matching official choreography video for “How It’s Done”, a rehearsal clip of Rumi, Mira and Zoey running that number, and then, on Wednesday, a “Takedown” choreography upload. ## Why a dance video matters this late Our view: this is smart anniversary marketing, because it hands viewers something to do rather than another trailer to watch. “Golden” has never been a song people only listen to. K-pop singers have recorded covers, the girl group Babymonster performed it at the 2025 MAMA Awards, and dance versions have flooded short-video apps. An official routine ends the arguments over which arm goes where. The timing also catches the film at the top of its prestige run. “Golden” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in March 2026 and took Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammys, the first K-pop track to win at either show. In the upload’s description, Netflix calls KPop Demon Hunters its most popular film ever, citing more than 670 million views and 63 straight weeks on its global Top 10. ### How “Golden” got here - June 20, 2025: the film and its soundtrack arrive on Netflix. - July 4, 2025: “Golden” is released as a single. - October 7, 2025: singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami perform the full song live for the first time, on US late-night TV. - January 2026: the official lyric video passes 1 billion views. - February 1, 2026: the Grammy win. - March 2026: the Oscar for Best Original Song, with the film also named Best Animated Feature. - October 27, 2026: Netflix posts the official choreography video for fans. ## What the clip gets right, and what it leaves out The strongest choice is the choreographer. Jo Na-In, the South Korean dancer behind the film’s “Golden” and “Takedown” routines and credited on this upload as NAIN, said in an interview published in September 2025 that one word steered her work: “I used the keyword “animation” to come up with moves that felt intuitive and dynamic.” Watching those steps on real bodies is a test of how much cartoon snap survives off the screen. She has also called this song her personal favorite. “My choreography for “Golden” is probably what I’m most fond of,” she said. Getting the routine from its author, rather than from a fan approximation, is the real value here. The limits are worth naming, too. This is a performance, not a lesson: the description promises no count-by-count breakdown, mirrored version or slowed-down section, so beginners will still lean on fan tutorials. The vocals are the studio track sung by Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, not a live take. And like every Netflix upload, it doubles as an advert, with a link to stream the film sitting at the top of the description. It also arrives late. The single came out in July 2025, and fan-made versions of the dance had a 16-month head start. For the most devoted fans, the clip is less a reveal than an answer key they can check their own versions against. The appetite is clearly there. The “How It’s Done” choreography video had already crossed 1 million views within about a day, and the HUNTR/X rehearsal clip had 3.2 million after two days. The song’s [full chart and awards record](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_(Huntrix_song)) now runs to dozens of entries. ## Further reading - [Wikipedia: Golden (Huntrix song)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_(Huntrix_song)) *Image: Shelby Lee, CC BY-SA 4.0 via Wikimedia Commons* *This article was produced with AI assistance and reviewed by our Editorial Desk.
