That's Gold: 9 Reasons To Stan Golden Child

Mar 23, 2019

Are you ready to be persuaded to stan Golden Child, the gleaming boys of Woollim Entertainment? Ready or not, let’s get straight into the nine reasons you should start supporting this 10-member group of talented and lovable people.

1. The C in Golden Child stands for synChronization

I’m kidding; the C doesn’t actually stand for anything. But in all seriousness, the group’s most visible and obvious talent is their ability to dance in sync! As expected from the younger brothers of INFINITE (literally, in Daeyeol’s case), they’re like fine-tuned robots when it comes to pulling off difficult choreography. Watch them perform “DamDaDi” at a music festival:

Are they actual robots?

2. Strong teamwork

What you just saw is not only a result of long hours of practice, but also their strong teamwork.

If you watch their actions on camera, it’s easy to tell they appreciate and care for each other. They’ve also revealed through interviews that they have late-night meetings at their dorm to discuss how to become a better group.

And when someone’s feeling down, the members try to lift their spirits.

Quite literally.

3. 10 members, 10 personalities

The members of Golden Child all have such different personalities that it’s surprising how well they get along. Some of them are polar opposites, like Jangjun, who’s the life of the party…

…and Jaehyun and Donghyun, who seek peace and calm in their lives.

There’s also Y, who has the time of his life while engaging in extreme sports and challenges…

…and Bomin, who’s terrified of ghosts, heights, insects, and pretty much anything else you can name.

With so many personality types in one group, you’re bound to find someone you can relate with!

4. They aren’t actually “children”

The “Child” in their group name might have put you off, but worry not. Some of them might have been minors when they debuted, but they’re all grown up now. There’s evidence below if you’re still skeptical!

5. Golden Child = Masters of aegyo

Just because they aren’t “children,” doesn’t mean they can’t act cute!

Even the oldest member, Daeyeol, makes cute faces like it’s an everyday routine.

6. Golden visuals

A picture is worth a thousand words, so a gif is probably worth a million. I will say no more; just let your eyes feast on these beautiful people!

Visuals everywhere.

Visuals brighter than my future.

7. They’re insanely hilarious

I kid you not, they are SO FUNNY. Their humor shines most when they’re all together and given the freedom to say whatever they want, so you should definitely check out their V Live broadcasts and any behind-the-scenes clips you can find.

Just look at Jangjun falling off his chair for no apparent reason in at least five different instances (I’m expecting more in the future):

And their extremely random, yet impressive covers of songs by Woollim artists where they break boards with their hands (yes, they break boards):

I can’t anymore with this group.

8. They’re dog-lovers

Who would say no to pretty boys with adorable puppies? Look at them showering these dogs with so much love!

My heart is so full right now.

9. They’re relatable fanboys

Jaehyun is probably the most well-known fanboy of Golden Child with his love for EXO. He’s a successful fan, too, as he was able to snap a photo with his role model Baekhyun last year!

Listen to him sing the English version of EXO’s “For Life” with Seungmin:

누구게용~??😛😛

Joochan has covered Jung Seung Hwan’s songs almost 10 times on several broadcasts, showing how big of a fan he is. He also got to take a photo with Jung Seung Hwan at the singer’s concert.

Jibeom is well-known among fans as a huge fan of Roy Kim. On one occasion, MBC FM’s “Idol Radio” arranged a surprise call with the solo singer for Jibeom, and he was overwhelmed with emotion. Watch him freak out so relatably during the conversation!

In summary, Golden Child will brighten up your day with their sincerity and humor. If you don’t know where to start, watch Golden Child’s latest music video for “Genie” and discover your new bias!
