EJAE, the singer-songwriter behind K-pop’s first Grammy-winning “Golden” (2025), is getting married to music producer Sam Kim on Nov. 7 after nine years of dating.
\u00a0
EJAE, the Korean-American who took the lead in writing and singing the hit “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack, revealed in an interview last year that she has been dating Sam Kim, also a Korean-American, since 2017.

She uploaded a picture of Sam Kim proposing to her on her Instagram account last month, but the Nov. 7 date came from a report by the Maeil Business Newspaper on Sunday, which said\u00a0the wedding will take place at a golf course in Los Angeles run by EJAE’s mother.

The news comes less than a week after EJAE and other producers of “Golden” won the\u00a0Best Song Written for Visual Media award at the 68th Grammy Awards on Feb. 1.

A former SM Entertainment trainee, EJAE later transitioned into songwriting, collaborating with top K-pop acts such as Girls\u2019 Generation, Red Velvet, aespa, Le Sserafim, Twice, Taeyeon and NMIXX. She is also the granddaughter of veteran actor Shin Young-kyun, a leading figure in Korean cinema since the 1960s.
