EJAE proudly celebrates Chuseok Benefit Gyopo: "I'm very proud to celebrate where we come from"

The star of "KPop Demon Hunters" won multiple awards earlier this year for her songwriting in the Netflix animated film.

Singer-songwriter EJAE was honored at the annual Chuseok Benefit Gyopo Festival.

The Demon Hunters KPop star is fresh off a whirlwind start to the year after the animated film dominated the awards circuit. EJAE won a Golden Globe, a Grammy and an Oscar along the way. The singer was honored at the 8th Annual Chuseok Benefit Gyopo Festival sponsored by CJ ENM late last month.

He told The Hollywood Reporter, "I'm very honored to be recognized by GYOPO at this year's Chuseok Benefit. It means being surrounded by a community that appreciates the Korean diaspora and the different ways we connect with our culture, because that connection is at the core of what I do."

"It was a very special afternoon," he said. "I'm very proud of where we've come from and what we're creating together."

The benefit, hosted by Gyopo board member Ann Soh Woods' personal residence, brought together figures from art, design, entertainment and fashion, including Anicka Yi, Carol Lim, Dumbfoundead, Jon Moon and fellow Demon Hunters stars Audrey Nona and Kevin Wu. The event takes place in early autumn during the Korean harvest month holiday of Chuseok, which means a time to get together.

"We celebrate EJAE's exciting artistic talent and its power to define an era of music and popular culture. EJAE's journey to becoming one." The global music icon is a symbol of perseverance and courage - complex, layered and full of twists and turns.

"His story resonates with millions around the world, but it's the way he shares it, so clearly, honestly, humbly and meaningfully in a diasporic Korean experience, that touches our hearts at Gyopo," he added. EJAE has used its platform to speak openly about its process, pressure, rejection and transformation. At times like these, we relish the opportunity to honor a kindred spirit like EJAE."
