Korean American singer-songwriter EJAE spent years chasing a dream that never came to fruition — until a song about embracing one’s light made her the voice behind “KPop Demon Hunters,” the Netflix animated sensation captivating audiences worldwide.

“KPop Demon Hunters” is the first movie since Disney’s “Encanto” (2022) to place two songs in the Hot 100’s top 10. Following “Encanto’s” release, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” reached No. 1 while “Surface Pressure” peaked at No. 8. The animated movie is doing more than dominating the charts. It’s also smashing streaming records.

The soundtrack to the animated musical film has the top song on the Billboard charts this week with “Golden” by the K-pop girl group HUNTR/X, featuring singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. It also has a total of five songs in the top 25.
