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

In a recent interview with The Times, Lee Jae shared her 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, the fictional girl group from Netflix's animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', to perform 'Golden'. This marked their first performance of 'Golden' outside the United States.

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

She continued, "Even singing in front of so many celebrities made me extremely nervous, but when I looked up, our eyes met with Leonardo DiCaprio. Can you believe it?" She vividly conveyed the tension she felt at the time.

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

During awards season, there was another unforgettable encounter. Lee Jae revealed that she met her 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."

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

Lee Jae also remembered a special exchange: "When I asked Beyoncé if she knew 'Golden,' she replied, 'Yes, our daughters sing that song.'"
