"This whole thing has changed my life 180 - and that feels like an understatement. I moved here to the States and my dream was to have a (Billboard) Hot 100 hit song. To have it be a K-pop song with Korean lyrics in it, it means so much."
"Ejae, who provides the singing voice for the character Rumi, initially joined the KPop Demon Hunters project as a songwriter. However, directors were so impressed by her voice on demo tracks that they offered her the prominent role. Her journey in the industry is extensive, having trained as a K-pop act with SM Entertainment - one of the genre's biggest agencies - in the early 2000s."
