SEOUL, Oct 21 — Korean-American singer-songwriter Ejae, known for her work on the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, has married music producer and composer Sam Kim.
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday during an outdoor ceremony in South Korea, according to Vogue magazine.
They held the wedding at a multipurpose cultural space built on the former residential site of the bride’s maternal grandfather, veteran actor Shin Young-kyun.
“It was hectic and a little stressful, but it was real teamwork, and everything has fallen into place perfectly,” Ejae told the magazine, reflecting on their four months of wedding preparations.
The pair originally intended to marry in California next month, but they moved the ceremony to South Korea and advanced the date by roughly a month.
The newlyweds had briefly delayed their plans due to promotional schedules and award show appearances following the massive success of the Netflix animated film.
Ejae’s career reached new heights through KPop Demon Hunters, where she served as the singing voice for the lead character, Rumi.
She also co-wrote several tracks for the film, including the global hit Golden, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks.
The song went on to win Song of the Year at the American Music Awards and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 68th Grammy Awards.
Before her breakthrough, Ejae built a career as a former SM Entertainment trainee and has writing credits on several major K-pop tracks, including Red Velvet’s Psycho and aespa’s Drama.
Ejae and Kim’s relationship began after they met during a music session in 2017.
They worked together as musical colleagues and romantic partners before getting engaged in June of last year.
