#SHOWBIZ: 'KPop Demon Hunters' star Ejae marries producer Sam Kim in Korea

Seoul, South Korea saw the union of Ejae, a prominent KPop singer-songwriter, and music producer Sam Kim. The couple exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony on a Saturday at a cultural venue erected on the site of her maternal grandfather's former residence, veteran actor Shin Young-kyun. Vogue magazine reported on the couple's wedding.

Ejae, who gained fame through her role in the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, married Kim after deciding to move their planned California wedding forward by about a month and relocate it to South Korea. The ceremony was described by Ejae as hectic and stressful yet perfectly executed, thanks to the couple's teamwork. They had previously postponed their wedding due to promotional schedules and appearances at award shows following the success of the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters.

Ejae's career skyrocketed after her voice became the main character, Rumi, in the film. She also co-wrote several tracks, including the hit Golden, which spent eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Song of the Year at the American Music Awards and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 68th Grammy Awards.

Prior to her acting success, Ejae, now 35, trained with K-pop giant SM Entertainment and penned popular hits like Red Velvet's Psycho and aespa's Drama.
