The Untold Story of KPop Demon Hunters' EJAE

Right now, millions of people are singing a song called "Golden." Almost nobody knows the woman behind it, EJAE, spent twelve years being told she wasn't good enough, and that her voice, the one the whole world is singing, was the exact thing she got rejected for. This is the true story of EJAE: the singer who trained for twelve years to be a K-pop idol, never debuted, got dropped, and was told to "fix" her voice, the same husky voice that would go on to become Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, sing "Golden," and win the first-ever K-pop Grammy AND Oscar. It's about the one thing she says herself: rejection is redirection. The flaw was never a flaw. It was just early. If you've ever been rejected from something you wanted, or told the realest part of you was "too much" this one's for you.
