‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ Singer EJAE Marries Music Producer Samuel Kim in Seoul
KPop Demon Hunters “Golden” vocalist EJAE married her longtime fiancé music producer Samuel Kim on Saturday (Oct.
17) in Seoul, South Korea.
According to Vogue , the ceremony was infused with nods to the couple’s heritage and kicked off with a Paebaek ceremony , a centuries-old Korean tradition that originally served as a welcome for the bride into the groom’s family.

“Not everyone does Paebaek, but we wanted to have that traditional element as part of our wedding,” EJAE told the magazine.
The couple then exchanged vows on Saturday at Stage 28, a venue whose origin story had deep meaning for EJAE, as her grandparents lived in the house on the venue property when she was a girl.
“I spent much of my childhood exploring the garden and walking with my grandfather in the hills behind the house,” she explained of the home and property that were later turned into an event venue, where EJAE’s brother also got married.
The singer reposted a gallery of photos from the event on Instagram on Monday (Oct.
19), opening with a snap of the happy couple raising their arms in joy as they walk down the aisle after the ceremony.
The bride wore a custom Daniele Frankel white tulle gown with a strapless neckline, a bubbled hem and a nude chiffon layer that Vogue said was in keeping with the singer’s desire for a dress that would be “ethereal, modern, chic and timeless with a twist.” She accented the gown with heirloom jewelry passed down from her grandmother to her mother.
For the party, EJAE changed into a custom Zac Posen chiffon dress and, later in the night, a shimmery Milla Nova mini dress for dancing.
The groom wore a bespoke double-breasted black tuxedo from Bhambi’s Custom Tailors in New York, as well as a custom white tuxedo by Posen for the reception.
The couple wore traditional Korean ceremonial garments for their Paebaek ceremony.
Their love story began in 2017 when they were set up by a mutual friend for a songwriting session at Kim’s home studio.
