Lee Jae (EJAE), vocalist of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', recalled a moment when he felt nervous upon seeing Leonardo DiCaprio on stage at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA).

In a recent interview with The Times, UK media outlet, Lee Jae shared his experience performing on stage at the 79th BAFTA ceremony held in February this year.

At that time, Lee Jae took the stage alongside other vocalists of HUNTR/X, a fictional girl group from Netflix's animated series 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', to perform 'Golden'. This was their first performance of 'Golden' outside the United States.

Regarding that performance, Lee Jae admitted, "I made a mistake. My voice cracked slightly on the high notes." He cited Leonardo DiCaprio in the audience as the reason. Lee Jae said, "Just before singing the 'born to be' part of 'Golden', I saw DiCaprio. That shook me. I was really too nervous."

He continued, "I was already trembling just from singing in front of so many celebrities, but when I looked up, our eyes met with Leonardo DiCaprio. Can you believe it?" He vividly conveyed the tension he felt at the time.

Notably, Lee Jae had previously stated, "Leonardo DiCaprio was sitting right in front of me, and he wasn't smiling."

There was another unforgettable encounter during awards season. Lee Jae revealed that he met his favorite vocalist and idol, Beyoncé, along with her husband Jay-Z.

Recalling the moment, Lee Jae said, "I went to their after-party, and Jay-Z approached me saying, 'Hello, my name is Shawn.' I was so surprised I couldn't even compose myself."

He added, "Beyoncé is my idol, and she told me, 'Your voice is truly amazing.'"

Lee Jae also remembered a special moment when he asked Beyoncé if she knew 'Golden', to which she replied, "Yes. My daughters sing that song."
