Composer and singer Lee Jae revealed his daily life of eating rice soup with the 98th Academy Awards (Oscar) trophy.

On the 17th, Lee Jae released a picture of her hugging Audrey and Ray Ami, who sang "Golden," the OST of Netflix's "K-pop Demon Hunters," along with a message saying, "I love you all so much."

Lee Jae-jae, who certified the Academy Awards trophy, drew attention by releasing a picture of him eating rice soup with heart emoticons.

Earlier, the Netflix film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" was honored with a feature animation award and a theme song award at the 98th Academy Awards held on the 15th (local time). Lee Jae took the stage with Mark Sonnenblik, Kwak Jung-kyu, Lee Yoo-han, Nam Hee-dong, and Seo Jeong-hoon, the composers of "Golden," and said, "When I was young, I was teased for liking K-pop, but now everyone is singing our songs with Korean lyrics. I think this award is not about success but about undaunted power. Thank you very much," he said, shedding tears.

The "Golden" stage, held at the awards ceremony by Lee Jae, Audrey, and Ray Amie, began with a performance of the Grim Reaper, which reminded people of a scene in the movie, followed by a dance performance by dancers wearing traditional Korean musical instruments, pansori, and hanbok, and filled the Academy Awards with the splendor of Korean culture.

In a backstage interview, Lee Jae said, "It's really amazing to be on this stage as a Korean-American woman, to experience our culture and tradition like this. Korean traditional music came out at the beginning of the performance, which I am especially proud of. As a Korean-American raised in the United States, when he was young, he wanted to hide his image as a Korean because he was afraid of being bullied by food or culture. But now, I'm really proud of my Korean identity. While rehearsing, I was able to truly communicate with our roots, and I'm just so grateful."
