Ejae's Voice Cracks at BAFTAs After 'Locking Eyes' with Leonardo DiCaprio: A Tale of Stage Fright and Resilience
Ejae's performance at the BAFTAs was a memorable one, but not for the reasons she had hoped. The K-Pop sensation, known for her hit song 'Golden', which made history as the first K-Pop song to win a Golden Globe and a Grammy, faced an unexpected challenge during her performance. Despite her confidence and practice, Ejae's voice cracked when she locked eyes with Leonardo DiCaprio, a moment that left her feeling embarrassed but determined to persevere.
Ejae, along with Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, are the voices behind the fictional K-Pop group HUNTER/X in the movie 'KPop Demon Hunters'. The song 'Golden' was the last song written for the film and has been a global sensation, with people from all backgrounds singing along. However, Ejae's performance at the BAFTAs was not without its hiccups.
'As a matter of fact, recently I had a performance where I cracked on the first 'born to be', the highest note in the song,' she said. 'It's unfortunate because during the rehearsals I was amazing.'
Despite her stage fright, Ejae's resilience and determination to deliver a powerful performance were on full display. 'I could not but like I had to stay resilient, so I kept true to the song. Like, focus on the lyrics, girl,' she reassured herself.
The BAFTAs performance was a challenging one, but Ejae's story is one of resilience and determination. Despite the setback, she persevered and delivered a powerful performance that left a lasting impression on her audience. It's a reminder that even the most seasoned performers can face unexpected challenges, but with determination and resilience, they can overcome them.
'Now seeing Korea celebrated through this beautiful animated film, it’s just a dream come true,' she added. 'Golden' is a K-Pop song with Korean and English lyrics, and Ejae's performance at the BAFTAs was a testament to the power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.
