The release of "In Another World" coincides with major career news: EJAE has signed with the global talent agency WME (William Morris Endeavor). This move solidifies her official entry into the global music scene, placing her alongside the agency's roster of A-list stars, including Angelina Jolie, Ryan Gosling, Matt Damon, and Tom Holland. The signing follows a similar strategic move by BLACKPINK's Lisa, who partnered with WME for her acting pursuits in September.
EJAE, a Korean-American singer-songwriter, first rose to prominence through her work on the hit Netflix series "K-Pop Demon Hunters." She was the creative force behind original soundtracks like "Golden," which she performed as part of the fictional girl group Huntress, alongside vocalists Audrey Nuna and Rayami. Her influence in the K-pop industry extends far beyond the screen, having composed hit songs for major groups such as aespa, Red Velvet, and (G)I-DLE.
Her journey to this point is a testament to her resilience. Before becoming a sought-after composer, EJAE spent over a decade as a trainee at SM Entertainment, dreaming of her own debut as an idol. Though that specific dream was not realized, her talent has propelled her to an even more influential position, crafting the sounds that define the genre and now stepping into the spotlight on her own terms.

Fans of her work with Huntress won't have to wait long for a live performance. The trio is scheduled to make their first-ever live public concert appearance at the iHeart Radio's Jingle Ball Concert in Los Angeles on December 5th.
With the release of "In Another World" and the powerful backing of WME, EJAE is poised to transition from the celebrated composer behind the scenes to a formidable solo artist in her own right, captivating a global audience with her raw vocal talent and profound songwriting.
