Singer and songwriter Ejae is gaining attention not only for her performance at the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony, but also for her outfit choice.
Ejae, who received global love for singing “Golden” from the “K Pop Demon Hunters” OST, performed the official World Cup theme song “DNA” at the 2026 North and Central America World Cup opening ceremony on June 12 at Mexico City Stadium in Mexico.
She shared the stage with world famous opera singer Andrea Bocelli and drew attention for performing a song that included Korean lyrics.

Her styling also received praise because the sneakers gave a sporty touch to the traditional inspired dress. Many felt the combination looked natural and stylish.
Netizens reacted with comments such as, “It looks like she wore sneakers because she was worried about damaging the grass,” “What brand are the sneakers?” and “They match the outfit so well.”
Ejae’s thoughtful and stylish choice quickly became a hot topic, adding more attention to her already memorable World Cup opening ceremony stage.
