BREAKING: EJAE, the breakout star of Netflix’s hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters, has officially signed with WME for all areas of representation, the agency announced just moments ago. This significant move comes as the 33-year-old artist continues to rise in popularity following the success of the film’s soundtrack.
The song “Golden,” co-written and performed by EJAE alongside fellow vocalists Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, has captivated audiences and topped charts, solidifying their status in the K-pop landscape. The trio has been making waves with live performances on major platforms like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
KPop Demon Hunters has become a cultural phenomenon, emerging as Netflix’s most popular title ever. The film chronicles the adventures of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group that battles monsters from the underworld. Its soundtrack has consistently remained in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, showcasing EJAE’s songwriting prowess.
In an exciting twist for fans, sources confirm that a sequel film is currently in talks at Netflix and Sony Animation. This announcement adds to the anticipation surrounding the franchise, which has already gained immense traction among viewers.
Notably, the song “Golden” recently ended a long-standing No. 1 streak held by Alex Warren, claiming the top spot on the Billboard charts. After briefly falling in rankings, it has rebounded strongly to reclaim its position for a remarkable eight weeks. Although it faced competition from Taylor Swift, who dominated the top slots, it currently sits at No. 3.
In addition to “Golden,” several other tracks from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack are making headlines. “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop,” performed by the fictional boy group Saja Boys, are charting at No. 19 and No. 20, while “How It’s Done,” sung by Huntrix, sits at No. 25. This success reflects a broader trend of K-pop’s growing influence on global music charts.
The signing with WME marks a pivotal moment in EJAE’s career, positioning her for even greater opportunities in the entertainment industry. With the momentum of her recent achievements, fans are eagerly watching what will unfold next.
