EJAE reflects on the inspiration behind Your Idol
While in conversation with the media portal, the songwriter revealed, “The Saja Boys, in their demon form, are intentionally feeding the fans’ obsession because that gives them control.”
She added, "That’s what being an idol can feel like—the need to be adored and worshipped. I grew up Christian, so I immediately thought about how ‘idolizing’ something is considered a sin. That tension inspired the creepy twist behind the lyrics: ‘I’ll be your Idol.’”
Meanwhile, despite the fictional nature of the bands HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, they have managed to gain popularity amongst the young listeners and the fans of Korean music. Previously, the hit song by the boy band was featured in the top position on Spotify, leaving behind the globally recognized band BTS.
