K-pop artist and Demon Hunters star EJAE has married her partner, Kim, in a ceremony held in Seoul, South Korea. The couple, who became engaged last year after meeting in 2017, originally intended to host their wedding in California this past November. However, they ultimately decided to move the location to South Korea and advance the date to October, leaving them with only four months to plan the event. EJAE described the expedited process as hectic and stressful, but ultimately rewarding as they managed the preparations together.

The 34-year-old singer, known for co-writing hits like Red Velvet's Psycho, achieved international fame in 2025 by providing the singing voice for the character Rumi in the animated film KPop Demon Hunters. Her contribution to the project included the popular song Golden. Having transitioned from a professional connection to a romantic relationship, the couple celebrated their successful marriage despite the challenging and condensed timeline they faced during the final stages of their wedding planning.
