JustUpdateOnline.com – Seoul, South Korea. The music industry is celebrating the union of acclaimed singer-songwriter EJAE and music producer Sam Kim, who recently shared glimpses of their elegant wedding held in the South Korean capital. The ceremony, which took place on Saturday, October 17, at Stage28 in Seoul’s Gangdong District, served as a stunning backdrop for the couple’s transition into married life.
For her walk down the aisle, the KPop Demon Hunters star opted for a bespoke strapless gown crafted by renowned designer Danielle Frankel. The dress featured voluminous layers of tulle and a dramatic silhouette, evoking a sense of timeless romance. Her husband, Sam Kim, looked equally sharp in a custom-tailored tuxedo as they celebrated their union surrounded by loved ones.
The festivities beautifully integrated modern luxury with cultural heritage. Images from the event highlighted the couple participating in "pyebaek," a traditional Korean wedding ritual where the newlyweds offer their respects to their elders. Following the formal ceremonies, the celebration transitioned into a reception held in a greenhouse-style pavilion, featuring expansive glass walls that offered an airy, sophisticated atmosphere.
The selection of Stage28 as the wedding venue held profound personal significance for EJAE. The location was a staple of her childhood, often visited alongside her grandparents. EJAE is notably the granddaughter of Shin Young-kyun, a legendary figure in South Korean cinema. Just days prior to the wedding, the couple had gathered at the same venue to attend the 16th Beautiful Artist Awards and celebrate her grandfather’s milestone 100th birthday.
The couple’s romantic journey dates back to 2017, when they were first introduced by a mutual acquaintance for a musical collaboration. While their professional partnership flourished, a personal connection soon followed. Their path to the altar saw a recent logistical shift; originally, the pair had planned a November wedding in California. However, due to the rapid acceleration of EJAE’s career following the success of her recent projects, they decided to move the ceremony to Seoul and advance the date to October.
EJAE noted that the transition meant they had only four months to finalize all arrangements. Despite the condensed timeline and the pressures of their busy professional schedules, the couple worked closely together to ensure their vision for the day came to life.
EJAE’s international fame reached new heights after she provided the singing voice for Rumi, the lead of the fictional group HUNTR/X in the Netflix animated feature KPop Demon Hunters. Her contribution to the film’s soundtrack, the hit song "Golden," achieved massive critical success, ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Original Song earlier this year.
