She wrote toplines for Red Velvet and Aespa before anyone outside Korea knew her name. Then she sang for an animated demon hunter and "Golden" swept the Grammys, the Globes, and the Oscars - the first K-pop song to do it.

When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fill one dream, to become a Kpop idol, and I was rejected, and disappointed that my voice isn't good enough.

Growing up, people made fun of me for liking K-pop, but now everyone's singing our song and all the Korean lyrics. I'm so proud.

About this person

Kim Eun-jae trained at SM Entertainment from 2003 but never debuted, pivoting instead to the booth and the notepad. She graduated from NYU Tisch and built a quiet reputation co-writing for Red Velvet, Twice, Le Sserafim - "Psycho" topped Billboard's World Digital Songs in 2019. The turn came in 2025 when she voiced Rumi in Sony's KPop Demon Hunters and co-wrote the soundtrack. "Golden" hit number one on the Hot 100, racked up four Grammy nods, and became the first K-pop track to win Song of the Year at the Grammys, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar for Best Original Song. She released her first solo single that October. The pen that served others now has its own line.
