Ejae, the first K-pop artist to win a Grammy Award, is set to marry Korean-American music producer Sam Kim, according to industry sources.
Maeil Business Newspaper reported on Feb. 6 that the couple will wed on Nov. 7 at a golf course in Los Angeles operated by Ejae’s mother Shin Hye Jin.

Ejae publicly confirmed the engagement last month, sharing photos on social media of Kim proposing and placing a ring on her left hand. She has also referred to her wedding plans in recent interviews and broadcast appearances, saying she intends to marry this fall.
The marriage news follows a milestone year for Ejae, who recently gained global attention for her work on Netflix’s animated film “KPop Demon Hunters.” She contributed as a songwriter, lyricist and vocalist to the original soundtrack song “Golden,” which topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and the U.K. Official Singles Chart, achieving simultaneous No. 1 rankings.
“Golden” went on to win Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 68th Grammy Awards earlier this month, marking the first Grammy win in K-pop history.
Ejae, 35, previously trained as an idol under SM Entertainment and is now active as a songwriter and composer.
