"Academy best original song" winner Lee Jae shared a gukbap photo.
Lee Jae posted a recent photo with a heart emoji on the 17th.
The released photo shows Lee Jae taking a picture of a pork gukbap. The gukbap was filled with scallions and even sprinkled with red pepper powder, drawing attention for its Korean-style gukbap look. In particular, Lee Jae won the best original song at the previous day's Academy Awards for the OST "Golden" from "K-pop Demon Hunters" (hereafter Kedeehun), but instead of hosting a flashy afterparty, he showed a modest gukbap photo, proving his Korean identity to the core.
He also caught attention by proudly displaying the trophy engraved with "Golden" that he received at the Academy Awards.
Earlier, the 98th Academy Awards were held on the morning of the 16th at 8 a.m. (7 p.m. local time on the 15th) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, U.S.
In particular, the Netflix film "K-pop Demon Hunters" won two awards, best animated feature and best original song.
When the Kedeehun OST "Golden" was announced as the best original song, Lee Jae, in tears, took the stage as one of the composers representing Huntrix. He said, "I am truly grateful to the Academy for giving me this wonderful award. Growing up, people teased me that I liked K. Now we are all singing songs with Korean lyrics. I am truly proud."
He added, "I realized this award is not about success but about resilience. I thank our team. Thank you for being by my side. I also thank the cast of "Kedeehun" and producer Maggie King Michelle Wong" as he dedicated the honor.
