EJAE - In Another World (Official Music Video)

She's the prime example of "it's never to late no matter the age" keep doing what you love

This makes me cry everytime.
Thank you for inspiring us EJAE.

Kim Eun-Jae,
Still crying... no words for the years we didn't know you were among us 🙏

Is there any of you who came here after seeing her on the stage of the FIFA World Cup Opening ceremony song 2026?

The woman you are you deserves that

Grammy and Oscar winner Ejae ;)

Hi I just wanted to take some time to thank Ejae for her role in Kpop demon hunters. Your voice has literally reignited my passion for music. Growing up I thought I was incapable of using my musical talent to actually make music. For almost my entire teenage years, I always compared myself to other singers and musicians and thought they were better than me. That was obviously not true,
And I realized that when I first watched Kpop demon hunters. I deeply related to Rumi and the music made me feel happy, loved, powerful and seen. I always thought that my voice and my range was too different and awful. But when I listened to golden and learned it in one summer, not only hitting the notes but learning to sing Korean so fast, I realized that my voice is unique and very powerful. I am a Christian also, and I use your music to fight through my pain, my doubts, and as inspiration to make my own music. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for you. God made you for amazing purposes and one of them was helping me break free from the lie that I wasn’t good enough. I believe you are changing so many lives and I am so excited to see what you do next. I hope to some day meet you in the future, if it is God’s will. I pray that so many people shower you with love and give you so much happiness. You are my current role model and keep being yourself.

Guys her new song "Time After Time "will be released ferbuary 6❤

Who is here after her golden globe win??❤❤

Rejection is redirection

SM kept her hidden because they knew how good she was. They don’t want her to overshadow others. Her voice and soul are beautiful.

I HOPE SHE WINS THOSE GRAMMYS 😭

이 노래 더 유명해졌으면 좋겠는 사람?? ❤👋

케이팝씬보다는 영미팝에 훨씬 잘 어울리는 목소리... 저음 포텐 미쳤다.

EJAE

At 11, Kim Eun-jae (later known as EJAE) became a trainee at SM Entertainment, a prestigious and demanding South Korean multinational entertainment company. She sacrificed her teenage years and trained relentlessly for over a decade.

At 23, Kim was told by SM Entertainment that she was too tall (5’ 8.5”) and her voice was too dark, not feminine enough to debut as a K-pop idol or a solo artist. Her dream to be a singer was crushed.

At 33, EJAE’s song “Golden” was number 1 on BILLBOARD HOT 100™️ for 8 weeks and achieved double platinum status. On November 7, 2025, EJAE was nominated for the “Song of the Year” award at the 68th Annual GRAMMY®️ Awards (along with three other nominations).

Karma!

EJAE's channel is finally verified 🎉

She's not Rumi she's Ejaeeeeeeee fix the world and make it right when darkness finally meets the light 😭

SM에서 왜 데뷔를 못했나 했더니 이제 알겠네
아이돌이 아니라 디바라서 그랬구만 천만다행이네

This is why AI can never replace real artists

Debut in KPOP world ❌
Debut in Whole World ✅

SM이 담기에 EJAE는 너무 큰 원석이었다
이제 마음껏 음악하세요

Not the debut she expected, but the debut she deserved.

no more hiding now you're shining like you're born to be...

Ejae is the perfect example that no matter how bad you want something, you might not get it because the universe has something bigger planned for you.

Thank you, YouTube, for recommending me her OFFICIAL channel right off the bat. Her voice is so melodic.

this video randomly got recommended to me, i’ve never heard of EJAE before, but this woman has the most beautiful voice i’ve ever heard

I recently heard Ejae say in a radio interview that she is more comfortable being a songwriter than a performer. I hope she continues to do both because this troubled world could use her beautiful and inspirational voice.

People complaining why she sang in full English,not in Korean ...like come on,she is American Korean,live in America,and she is not a Kpop Idol,not under a Kpop lebel..so,why some haters being so brainless to think about that..😌

When you are not meant to be a kpop idol but a global icon. ❤

인생에 각자 꽃피는 시기는 다 다르다는 걸 다시 한 번 느낌.

She didn’t debut in Korea, she debuted in another world 🥺

Now I believe she didn't debut in Korea because she was meant to debut for the whole Earth planet.

YOUTUBE, VERIFY HER
It's just heartbreaking when someone tries to find her anywhere and only fake accounts show up💔 her work MUST finally be recognized

When Ejae said she used to be insecure about her voice being "Too deep", "Too rough", "Too dark", I was taken aback, because the first time I heard her voice I got chills all over purely by the sheer amount of emotion in it. She is a force of nature. Without even speaking of her masterful vocal technique, I think she has my favourite voice I've heard. Her music is gut wrenchingly moving, healing, even transformative. I send her all my love.

이재 뮤비 신곡으로 검색하면 이 영상이 안떠서 한참 뒤적거린 후 영문으로 ejae 친 후 찾았네요. 저처럼 이 영상 찾지 못한 사람 많을 것 같네요.

Her social media team fucked up by not getting her a verified account. Her account was* literally unsearchable.

Edit: She is verified now.

This is the real EJAE Channel, please keep streaming while her team works on YouTube Certification 🙏🙏🙏

이재의 할아버지는 한국에서 1960~70년대 활약한 전설의 배우였다 서울대 치과의사 출신이고 문학예술대학원을 졸업하고 문학 박사였고 한국 영화 발전을 위해 2010년엔 500억원을 기부했는데 지금의 기치로는 1000억원에 육박한다. 한국 속담에 "인과응보"라는 말이있다. "뿌린대로 거둔다." 라는 뜻이고, "부모의 선행이 자녀에게 돌아온다." 라는 속담도 같은 맥락이다. 신영균과 같은 한국 영화 선배들은 한국 영화 산업 발전을 위해 강력한 시위로 스크린 쿼터제를 법으로 통과시켰다. 당시 세계적으로 법을 명시한 나라는 아주 보기 드문 일이었다. 선배들의 희생과 염원이 지금의 K-Drama, K-Movie의 인기를 이루어냈다. 이재가 할아버지의 인맥과 자금력으로 앨범도 내고 데뷔할 수도 있었지만 그들은 그런 선택을 하지 않았다. 12년간 연습생으로 치열한 경쟁을 통해 힘들게 노력해도 안되는 현실을 원망도 해보고 묵묵히 받아들였고 작곡 공부를 해서 자신의 능력을 재발견하고 많은 kpop 아티스트들의 명곡을 탄생시켰다. 성품이 할아버지를 닮아서 겸손하고 아주 사려깊어서 꼭 잘 되길 응원한다.

Ejae team please get YouTube to verify her. It’s so hard to find her right now on YouTube and there are a lot a lot of fake accounts

She may not be a Kpop idol but she's a global icon.

This is official Ejae's channel. Plz stick to this channel if you guys love her songs. There are lots of fake channels.

EJAE:
"I personally wish that the song receives more attention than me, and that’s the main goal. As a songwriter, I’m not trying to bring attention to myself or my personal life. I’m trying to bring attention to the lyrics and the melody so people can feel what I felt when I was listening to music. Music helped me get through a hard time. Adele’s 'Someone Like You' helped me get through a really difficult period, and I wish that’s what this song brings to other people as well."

Such a humble person deserves to get every praise. How could this voice keep hidden until KPDH? This movie is a gift on so many levels.

Please don't stop singing with this wonderful voice and never stop being yourself!

She is not about kpop anymore. She's going to the whole world.

Anybody else think the line "You hit where it hurts, cause i gave you the bullets" is a absolute bar

Are we all crying right now or just me? I'm so happy you're finally getting the recognition you deserve. 😭😭

we really almost missed this talent, guys. Can yall believe it??

This woman suddenly showed up and united almost the entire world. 🌎

was an honor bringing this to life 🫡🇰🇷

Ejae needs a social media manager. What do you mean she didn't have tiktok and youtube until now? She deserves all the attention and flowers she's getting ❤
