Ejae, a former K-pop hopeful who spent over a decade training in South Korea, achieved a significant breakthrough after reinventing herself as a songwriter. Following a disheartening experience with a K-pop agency where she never debuted, she co-wrote and recorded music for the blockbuster animated film “KPop Demon Hunters,” including the award-winning anthem “Golden.” This success, fueled by her unique perspective and a determination to overcome past rejections, has brought her international recognition and proven that redirection can lead to extraordinary achievements, particularly within the industry she initially struggled to break into.
