Singer and composer Lee Jae, who gained global acclaim for performing "Golden" in "The Demon Hunter of K-Pop," recently drew attention for singing the official theme song of the 2026 North, Central America, and Caribbean World Cup, which includes Korean lyrics. In the aftermath, it was noted that Lee Jae was wearing sneakers rather than dress shoes. This styling choice, opting for sneakers to protect the World Cup turf instead of shoes matching the dress, adds further significance.

On the 12th (Korea time), Lee Jae performed the official theme song "DNA" alongside Andrea Bocelli on the opening ceremony stage at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

The official World Cup theme song "DNA" was created with Lee Jae, Andrea Bocelli, David Guetta, and Megan Thee Stallion, with Lee Jae personally writing the Korean lyrics. After the performance, Lee Jae shared on social media, "I can't believe what just happened. It was truly an honor."

Lee Jae took the stage, which was set in the middle of the grass field, wearing a lush blue dress. Notably, it was revealed that Lee Jae wore sneakers instead of dress shoes to protect the turf of the World Cup stadium, drawing attention.

Netizens have responded cheerfully, praising Lee Jae for safeguarding the World Cup stadium turf.
