This trio is still going up, up, up.
EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — the three artists responsible for bringing viral song "Golden" to life in Netflix's hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters — are celebrating the music's slew of Grammy nominations after the nods were announced Nov. 7.
"We all screamed," Audrey Nuna tells PEOPLE how the HUNTR/X girl group, who were on Zoom together for the news, reacted.
"I got chills in my body," says EJAE.

Rei Ami, EJAE, and Audrey Nuna of "KPop Demon Hunters" perform on the Tuesday, October 7, 2025 episode of The Tonight Show
In the film, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami sing for the roles of Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), respectively.
"Golden" scored two nominations: Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media, while the entire soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters was nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media.
For EJAE, who is one of the cowriters for "Golden" (alongside Mark Sonnenblick), the recognition speaks to a broader conversation around representation.
"I'm just so proud to be Korean because growing up in America, too, I felt ashamed being Korean at one point. I felt ostracized, and so I'm just happy to be a part of this incredible cultural phenomenon to be able to show off our country," she says.

Audrey Nuna echoes her friend's sentiment.
"A Grammy nomination means so much to anyone who's in music and anyone who creates for a living. It's very a culminating moment. And I think that we're just not only thinking about this film, but our lives, the cultural context and the history, and our parents, and the struggles," she says.
"It's the honor of a lifetime to stand alongside both [EJAE and Rei Ami] and for us all to do it together. The sorority of it is really beautiful," Audrey Nuna adds.
Rei Ami is already excited at the thought of attending the ceremony, which will be held Sunday, Feb. 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
"Winning!" Rei Ami says when asked what she's most looking forward to. "That would be really cool."
