Ejae Weds Samuel Kim in Garden Ceremony at Stage 28, Her Grandfather's Former Seoul Home
On October 17, 2026, Ejae, a member of HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters, wed producer Samuel Kim at Stage 28 in Seoul, a location with familial significance. The couple celebrated a Paebaek ceremony the day before at Congdu50, donning hanboks designed by Han Eun Hee. Their romance began in May 2017 during a songwriting collaboration, and Sam proposed on June 1, 2025, in Brooklyn. Wedding arrangements were briefly halted for the KPop Demon Hunters' press tour, resulting in a change of venue from California in November 2026 to Korea. Ejae donned a gown by Danielle Frankel and heirloom jewelry, while Sam opted for a tuxedo from Bhambi's Custom Tailors. Guests enjoyed a phone-free celebration featuring Kodak FunSaver cameras and Korean street food from a Pocha tent.
