EJAE, the singing voice of Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, has been on a roll! Besides writing and singing “Golden,” one of the biggest hits of the year, the singer has also been dropping heartfelt shoutouts to some of the biggest names in the music world. Back in October 2025, she mentioned how much she loves BLACKPINK’s Rosé, praising her ability to sing and write with emotion and confidence. EJAE also shared her wish to continue working with aespa and, someday, collaborate with BTS.

A few weeks later, on November 13, 2025, the KPop Demon Hunters diva talked about the artists she wants to write music with, and her list was stacked! Again, she gave a shoutout to Rosé and mentioned other A-list names, including Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande.

“Dua Lipa is definitely another one. I would love to write for her. Lady Gaga, would love to write for her. Dean, Ariana Grande … and obviously with Blackpink. I love Rosie and I love writing with her.”

These back-to-back comments paint a clear picture: EJAE knows who inspires her and who she wants to work with to push music boundaries. Adding a golden touch to these shotouts, both EJAE and Rosé have received multiple Grammy nominations, making them the two K-pop front runners at the ceremony.
