KPop Demon Hunters takes home two Golden Globes

KPop Demon Hunters won Best Motion Picture – Animated, continuing its awards-season momentum after a breakout year on Netflix. The film also secured Best Song for “Golden,” the track that became one of the title’s defining cultural touchpoints. Speaking after winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters, EJAE framed the moment as the culmination of a long and difficult personal journey. She explained that she spent more than a decade chasing the dream of becoming a K-pop idol, facing repeated rejection and doubts about her voice along the way. Music, she said, became the way she carried herself through that disappointment, ultimately leading her toward songwriting instead. Standing on the Golden Globes stage as both a singer and a songwriter, EJAE described the win as proof that the path she was forced to take still brought her exactly where she was meant to be.
