Singer-songwriter Lee Jae is experiencing the soaring popularity of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters'.

On the morning of the 15th, a press conference was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul for the Netflix film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', featuring Lee Jae.

Lee Jae, the granddaughter of veteran actor Shin Young-kyun, spent 10 years as a trainee at SM Entertainment. She created and performed the OST 'Golden' for the Netflix animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters'.

Following her work with groups like Red Velvet, KARD, and NMIXX, Lee Jae has made her mark as a K-pop composer. However, it was 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' that truly brought her into the spotlight. She expressed her feelings, saying, "I still can't believe it. Just two months ago, I was simply a composer, but now I'm receiving love and attention, which feels strange, amazing, and I'm grateful."

'K-Pop Demon Hunters' has become Netflix's most successful content to date, with its OST dominating music charts both domestically and internationally. The song 'Golden' has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks and has held the number one spot for a total of eight non-consecutive weeks.
