EJAE Marries Sam Kim at Her Grandfather’s Old Seoul Home

Vogue broke the news first, and EJAE followed up by posting photos from the day on her Instagram. The images show the couple in a white wedding gown and a tuxedo, smiling in front of guests, sharing a kiss, and dressed in traditional Korean wedding attire.

Stage28 stands on land where Shin Young-kyun once lived. Today it's home to the Shin Young-kyun Arts and Culture Foundation. In her Vogue interview, EJAE recalled that her grandparents lived there when she was young, and she still remembers playing in the garden for hours and walking the hill behind the house with her grandfather. One outlet reported that the venue also hosted her brother's wedding, but other outlets haven't confirmed that detail.

Reports point to a packed schedule as the reason for the change in date and location. After the success of "KPop Demon Hunters," EJAE has been busy with promotions and award-show appearances. Media accounts say the couple chose Seoul because it let them honor her Korean roots and family memories. According to some reports, the event was kept low-key and family-focused, with no public announcement.

The two first met in 2017 at a session set up for music work. They stayed creative collaborators before becoming a couple, and got engaged in June last year. EJAE is a songwriter and singer who trained at SM Entertainment, one of Korea's biggest K-pop agencies. She co-wrote, composed and sang the film's signature track "Golden," which won the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Her credits also include K-pop hits like Red Velvet's "Psycho" and aespa's "Drama."
