One of the stages would be a cover of “Golden” performed by BABYMONSTER’s Pharita, Ahyeon, and Rora. In the movie, the mega-hit is performed by the fictional three-member girl group HUNTR/X.

The show will also include a performance of “I’ll Be Your Idol” performed in the movie by fictional boy group Saja Boys. During MAMA, the song will be a special collaboration featuring BOYNEXTDOOR’s Leehan, RIIZE’s Wonbin, TWS’ Shinyu, ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook, and Han Yu Jin.

As expected, these announcements have already drawn various reactions from netizens online.

Many feel that the BABYMONSTER members will do a great job tackling “GOLDEN”‘s demanding high notes and belting.

However, some netizens thought other stars might’ve been a better fit.

The male idols chosen to cover the Saja Boys members also triggered huge reactions.
