Singer-songwriter Ejae of hit film KPop Demon Hunters fame tied the knot with her fiance and long-time boyfriend Sam Kim in South Korea on Oct 17, about three years after they reportedly got engaged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The couple exchanged vows at event venue Stage 28 in Seoul, which was built on the site of Ejae\u2019s grandparents\u2019 former home, Vogue reported.<\/p>\n

A carousel of photos of the garden-themed wedding was shared in Instagram posts by Ejae and Vogue Weddings on Oct 20.<\/p>\n

For her walk down the aisle, Ejae was arrayed in a tulle gown featuring a strapless neckline, bubbled hem, and nude chiffon layer, custom-made by bridal label Danielle Frankel. Meanwhile, Kim, a Korean-American music producer, was clad in a monochrome bespoke tuxedo.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, a reception was held in a glass house on the property.<\/p>\n

Some photos also showed the couple dressed in traditional clothing and taking part in \u201cpyebaek\u201d, a traditional ceremony where newlyweds pay respects to their families.<\/p>\n

Ejae and Kim first met in May 2017, after a mutual friend set them up for a songwriting session at Kim\u2019s home studio. They eventually became a couple and reportedly got engaged in late 2023, though Vogue reported that Kim proposed to Ejae in June 2025.<\/p>\n

The pair had planned for the wedding to take place in November in Los Angeles, but later decided to hold it in South Korea in October, Vogue reported.<\/p>\n

After deciding on the wedding date, the pair had only about four months to put everything together, Ejae told Vogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hectic and a little stressful, but it was real teamwork, and everything has fallen into place perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ejae, the granddaughter of veteran South Korean actor Shin Young-kyun, was previously a K-pop trainee at South Korean agency SM Entertainment, but did not officially debut as a soloist or music group member.<\/p>\n

Her breakthrough came in 2025 when she provided the singing voice for the character Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters.<\/p>\n

Ejae is also one of the songwriters of Golden, which won a Grammy Award<\/a> for Best Song Written for Visual Media in February.<\/p>\n

Ejae performed Golden alongside singers Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, who served as the singing voices of characters Mira and Zoey in the film. The two co-stars also attended the wedding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Singer-songwriter Ejae of hit film KPop Demon Hunters fame tied the knot with her fiance and long-time boyfriend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":636200,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-636199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=636199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/636200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=636199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=636199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=636199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
