EJAE Marries Musician Sam Kim in Seoul

They blended a modern ceremony with a traditional paebaek to honor family memory and private roots.

Overview

  • EJAE and Sam Kim were married on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Stage 28 in Seoul in a modern ceremony that included a traditional paebaek.
  • The venue held personal meaning for EJAE because her grandparents once lived on the site and she spent part of her childhood exploring its garden.
  • EJAE wore a custom tulle gown by designer Danielle Frankel and the couple observed paebaek rites, including hanbok for the traditional portion of the celebration.
  • The pair began dating in 2017, became engaged in fall 2023 and publicly shared engagement photos in January 2026, and they have long collaborated musically on K-pop Demon Hunters.
  • Sam Kim helped arrange and record film songs, including work captured in the couple's Brooklyn apartment, and EJAE has said his support was key as her profile rose after the film won an Oscar.
