Fans wonder why Netflix's 'Tiny Pretty Things' is using the demo version instead of Irene & Seulgi's version of "MONSTER"

The intro of NETFLIX's new series 'Tiny Pretty Things' uses a song familiar to K-pop fans, "Monster." However, the "Monster" played was the English demo version by Jane Delaney instead of Irene and Seulgi's version.

Fans were confused because the song was also included on the show's playlist under Red Velvet

But a few seconds into the song people realized that instead of the original singers they played the English demo of the song.  On Spotify, the song also was under Irene and Seulgi's name but the English demo is playing instead of the original singer.

The demo can be sold to multiple buyers in different markets. It was probably dirt cheap compared to the price SM would have asked for. Good move on their marketing team for getting buzz about the show without the steep price tag.

If Irene & Seulgi mimicked the demo, why is their recording being referred to as "the original?"


Now let's guess why Red Velvet's recording isn't being played.


'Knowing Brothers' streams on Netflix. Many idols make guest appearances on the show to promote their music. However, since it costs so much to broadcast that music, Netflix edits it out. They either cut out the whole scenes, mute the sound, or play midi samples in its place. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿/𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗳𝗹𝗶𝘅 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲?


Or could Netflix have simply wanted it performed in English?
