K-Pop Star Lee Jae Spotted Kissing Fiancé at Oscars After-Party

K-Pop sensation Lee Jae, known for singing 'Golden' from Netflix's animated series 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' was seen sharing a kiss with her fiancé at an Oscars after-party.

On the 15th, Lee Jae attended an unofficial Oscars after-party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with producer Sam Kim. She was seen flaunting a ring on her left ring finger and sharing a celebratory kiss.

The couple is set to marry in November. They first met in 2017 during a songwriting session and got engaged at the end of 2023.

Earlier, Lee Jae won the Best Original Song award at the 98th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

'Golden' triumphed over 'Dear Me' from 'Diane Never Dies,' 'I Ride to You' from 'Sinners,' 'Train Dreams' from 'Dream of Trains,' and 'Sweet Dreams of Joy' from 'Viva Verdi' to win the prestigious award.

On stage, Lee Jae expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you to the Academy for this incredible award." She added, "Growing up, people teased me for liking K-pop. Now, we're all singing songs with Korean lyrics. I'm proud."

'K-Pop Demon Hunters' also won the Best Animated Feature, making it a double win for the night. Lee Jae performed 'Golden' alongside Audrey Nuna and Ray Ami in a celebratory performance.

Lee Jae, who trained for about 12 years at SM Entertainment, is now a composer. She is also known as the granddaughter of veteran actor Shin Young-kyun.
