KPop Demon Hunters Songwriters Ejae and Mark Sonneblick on Their Grammy-Nominated “Golden”

KPop Demon Hunters songwriters Ejae and Mark Sonneblickknew that the project they were working on was special, but they had no concept of the stratospheric success that was to come upon the release of the animated film. “To us, it was a hit,” recently explained Ejae at Netflix’s The Lineup: Live at the Egyptian, “but we didn’t think it could get this far.” Sonnenblick said, of the global impact the film and soundtrack have had, “[It’s] just so far beyond anything that could even be imagined.”

Now, five Grammy Award nominations later — including Song of the Year, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Golden” — a Billboard No.
