As of October 22nd, 2025, 33-year-old K-pop songwriter EJAE has found immense success with her work on the Netflix animated film Huntrix. EJAE co-wrote and performs the lead song "Golden" alongside fellow singers Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, and the track has become a smash hit.
In addition to her work on the Huntrix soundtrack, EJAE has an extensive career as a songwriter, having contributed to hit K-pop songs by major groups like Aespa, Le Sserafim, Twice, and NMIXX. Over the past month, EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna have been taking their chart-topping "Golden" on the road, delivering live performances on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The Huntrix animated feature has been a surprise hit for Netflix, becoming the streaming platform's most popular title ever. The project, which follows a K-pop girl group that also fights monsters, has seen its soundtrack spend several weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. In fact, "Golden" recently dethroned Alex Warren's long-running number one song and has remained at the top for eight weeks, only briefly dipping due to Taylor Swift's chart dominance. Several other songs from the Huntrix soundtrack, including "Your Idol" and "Soda Pop" by the fictional boy group Saja Boys, have also charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
With the film's immense popularity, Netflix and Sony Animation are now in talks to develop a sequel.
