EJAE Makes Golden Globes History with Win for “Golden”
EJAE, along with collaborators Mark Sonnenblick adn 24Ido, accepted the Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture on Sunday for “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters. The win marks a historic moment, making EJAE the first Korean-American to receive an award at the Golden Globes.
During her emotional acceptance speech,EJAE reflected on a decade of striving for her dream. “When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fulfill one dream: to become a K-pop idol. I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn’t good enough,so I leaned on songs and music to get through it,” she said. “Now, I’m hear as a singer and a songwriter.”
She emphasized the song’s impact, stating, “it’s a dream come true to be part of a song that is helping other girls, other boys, and everyone of all ages to get through hardship and accept themselves. So thank you, Golden Globes, for accepting my voice and our voice.”
Sonnenblick also expressed gratitude to Netflix and Sony, and their respective teams. He concluded with a message of hope, referencing the song’s lyrics: “This award goes to the people who have had their doors closed on them. I can confidently say that rejection is redirection. Never give up,it’s never too late to shine like you’re born to be.”
