As charismatic as the demo version sounded, Irene shared, “As soon as I heard the song, I became somewhat worried as to what kind of choreography will come from it.”

Seulgi recalled how chilling certain parts had been.

When I listened to the English demo version, I realized it had a familiar voice. It was [SM Entertainment’s producer] Yoo Young Jin‘s voice! And it was absolutely breathtaking. I was captivated.

She added, “In fact, he gave it such a vibe that we wondered if we would be able to pull off the same energy.” Fortunately, according to Seulgi, Yoo Young Jin himself directed the recording session — and so everyone came to be 200% satisfied with the track!

While K-Pop fans immediately grew curious about Yoo Young Jin’s demo version of “Monster”…
