KPop Demon Hunters keeps goin' up, up, up with the smash-hit Netflix film taking home Golden Globes for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song for eternal banger "Golden."
Singer-songwriter Ejae, who co-wrote and performed the record-breaking, chart-topping song, accepted the award with co-writers Mark Sonnenblick and Lee Hee-joon.
"When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fill one dream to become a K-pop idol, and I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn't good enough," said Ejae onstage. "So I leaned on songs and music to get through it. Now I'm here as a singer and a songwriter."
"It's a dream come true to be part of a song that is helping other girls, other boys, and everyone from all ages get through their hardship and to accept themselves," she said.
"I just want to say this award goes to people who've had their doors closed at them. I can confidently say rejection is redirection, so never give up."
Ejae then finished with a quote directly from her own "Golden" lyrics: "It's never too late to shine like you were born to be."
