In a heartfelt acceptance speech at the 2026 Golden Globes, K-pop singer-songwriter EJAE (Kim Eun-Jae) shared her inspiring journey of overcoming rejection and finding purpose. The emotional moment came after her song "Golden" became the first K-pop song to win the Golden Globe for best original song.
EJAE spoke candidly about her 10-year struggle as a young girl to become a K-pop idol, only to be rejected and disappointed when she was told her voice wasn't good enough. But instead of giving up, she channeled that rejection into her music, leaning on songwriting as a means of getting through the tough times.
The emotional moment was especially poignant for EJAE, who spoke about how music helped her find solace in the darkest moments of her life. "It's a dream come true to be part of a song that's helping other girls, boys, and everyone of all ages to get through their hardships and accept themselves," she said.

I gotta fact check some stuff here... so EJAE won the Golden Globe for best original song with her K-pop song "Golden"? 
I couldn't find any info about an EJAE winning a Golden Globe, and the year is 2025, not 2026... that's already in the past 
. Plus, I'm not sure if there's even a K-pop singer-songwriter by that name? 
It's possible this is a real person, but I'd need to dig deeper to verify everything. Still, it sounds like EJAE has an inspiring story and message of hope... we should totally fact check more about her! 
It's like we're not defined by our failures, but by how we respond to them.
! Her speech was so raw and honest, you could feel the emotions radiating from her 
. I mean, who hasn't felt rejected or disappointed at some point in their lives? But instead of giving up, she used that rejection to fuel her creativity and find her purpose 
. It's a total testament to the power of perseverance and hard work. I'm also loving how she's using her platform to spread positivity and hope 
. We all need a little reminder that we can turn our struggles into strengths 
. And let's be real, K-pop artists have been killing it for years anyway 
! This win is just another confirmation of their talent and dedication 
. EJAE's message of "rejection is redirection" is so true - I'm definitely taking that to heart this week 
!
! It's so true. We just need to find the courage to keep going and trust in ourselves 
. Can't wait to hear more from EJAE and see where her music takes us 
. She's proof that with passion & hard work, u can overcome anything 
. Its great to see a artist that went thru alot and stil managed to come out on top 
.
It sounds like she took some inspiration from the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"... or in this case, when life rejects you, write a hit song 
. Just kidding, I'm sure it's a really inspiring message and all that jazz... but I mean, who comes up with 'rejection is redirection'? 
. The thing is, everyone has their own unique story to tell and talents to share – we just gotta believe in ourselves enough to take that first step 
. can we get more of this kind of vibe at award shows? please? 
I mean, don't get me wrong, she's talented and all that jazz, but is this really just another example of how K-pop is becoming more "mainstream" and getting more recognition? 
wasn't there like 5 other songs nominated for best original song too? 
sounds like something a self-help book would say... like we've never heard that one before 
! I love how she said "rejection is redirection" - it's like, totally true! We all face setbacks in life, but it's how we respond that matters 
. But EJAE's words are a constant reminder that it's what's inside that counts - your passion, creativity, and resilience 
. This win is not just a recognition of her talent but also a testament to the power of perseverance and dedication 
I love how she turned her rejection into fuel for her music, it's such a powerful message of perseverance & hope 
she's so inspiring, like, I'm totally getting chills thinking about her journey and how she turned rejection into a powerful message of hope 
and can we talk about how proud I am of K-pop artists breaking into the mainstream? 
this win is all about EJAE's perseverance and dedication, and I'm here. for. it 
. Still, I do agree with her message about turning rejection into redirection 
.
It's easy to say "rejection is redirection" when you're standing on stage with an award, but what about when it feels like everything is stacked against you? 
. Can't wait to see what's next for K-pop artists and this talented singer-songwriter!
