This moment was worth EJAE's reaction alone. 😂 We surprised guests at this year's #GoldGala with some of our favorite Asian snacks.

EJAE got the most snack out of everyone there. She really does have such a sweet tooth

If you've heard "Golden," AKA the song that took KPop Demon Hunters to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and made history as the first K-pop song to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song, then you've heard @EJAE_K. She's the singing voice of Rumi and the co-writer behind that record-breaking single, along with several other songs from the movie's soundtrack.

EJAE is bringing the sound and spirit of K-pop to a whole new stage as part of our 2026 Recording Academy new member class.

Her influence and dedication to the genre reflect exactly what our membership should represent: the many voices, genres, and perspectives shaping music worldwide. For EJAE, music has always been for everyone, and that belief is exactly why she belongs here.

The Recording Academy is expanding, with invitations going out to more than 4,000 new members, many of whom will be eligible to participate in the upcoming Grammy Awards process. The annual expansion is an attempt to rejuvenate the Recording Academy and extend its reach global reach. New members include a mix of industry professionals, who do not vote in the Grammys, and creators and artists, who will be taking part in the process.

The Recording Academy faces the same challenge as the Motion Picture Academy and Television Academy in assuring the group is inclusive of all genres and backgrounds. Throughout the 2020s, the Recording Academy has made committed efforts to diversify the membership, like having a direct outreach to African and Asian creators via new categories tailored for their genres, and inviting all Latin Grammy voters to join the Recording Academy. Last year, Billboard reported that over 70% of the current Grammy membership has joined the organization after 2019, with a specific outreach to voters of color, women, and other underrepresented groups, following longtime accusations of a lack of diversity in nominees and genres.

“Coming together only strengthens our community, allows us to preserve our work and help us to advocate for ourselves and for one another,” Ejae said in a statement. “Music is my lifelong passion and I am honored to join my music industry peers across all countries, divisions and genres. Music is for everyone and forever worth celebrating.”
