  EJAE holds double degrees in Music and Psychology. She took up Psychology so she could become a therapist for kpop idols and trainees after her music career ended. <br> <br>During her studies, she still felt really down whenever she thinks about how she got dropped by SM after 12 years of diligent training. She felt really bad for the 11 y/o AJAE who gave her all but got nothing in return. To cope with all the negative emotions, she would imagine an EJAE in another universe who debuted and became a successful idol. <br> <br>EJAE used the same coping method after her &quot;healthy&quot; break up with Sam. They decided to break up temporarily to see how they would fare without each other. It was a test of sorts to see if they were ready to take the relationship to the next level. EJAE felt far more down than she expected. And though they agreed to get back together later, EJAE couldn&apos;t help fearing that the breakup might become permanent. She coped by imagining an EJAE in another universe who was living happily with Sam. She wrote In Another World while immersed in that sorrow and dread. In case you&apos;re wondering, yes, EJAE and Sam got back together and are planning to get married in fall of next year. <br> <br>In Another World was written almost 3 years ago, just added to the pile of songs EJAE was waiting to sell. But her manager, Nick, pestered her into releasing a single while Golden was still in peak popularity. EJAE still lacked trust in her singing despite the massive success of Golden, so Nick had to work hard in reinforcing her confidence. And so, EJAE took In Another World out of the pile, adapted it to suit her own vocals, and released it as her first single.

  EJae&apos;s voice is just amazing! 🤩 The undertone of rasp in her voice is so pleasant to her, and with her low range, which is the reason why kpop &nbsp;rejected her back then, it is &nbsp;SO good to see she found the time and place where this type of voice is appreciated now! In a way, we are ready for her! It is great to see a major reactor who appreciates her vocal prowess!🔥 ❤Subscribed.

  A perfect storm has been brewing to catapult this hidden gem named EJAE for all to see just at the right time. Her life story and the recent transition from a relative obscurity to multiple Grammy nominations is truly inspiring! So easy to root for her!

  Thank you for the analysis!! Been waiting for this one🥰 and it was amazing to hear you speak about it! <br><br>Also the irony of this: she said it’s also about just in general, maybe in another world , she would be more with family. And maybe in another world she would be an kpop idol. Maybe in another world she would be killing it at a singer (she said these herself)<br>But the irony is: she said it all worked out actually in the end 🥰🤣<br>The man she wrote the song about, is now her fiancé (they had a healthy break she said and that’s when she wrote this) AND she is kind of a singer now! So it all worked out in the end!

  The fact that she was rejected once to be a K pop idol is sad but with this song she proved those people wrong with this song you are an amazing singer Ejae and an amazing producer and. Also great job on the Oscar!!!❤️❤️❤️

  Tara, thank you, thank you, thank you.<br>I&apos;ve watched a lot of reaction/analysis videos to this track.<br>You&apos;re the only one who has mentioned how very beautiful this song is from the beginning.<br>Also, I like how you acknowledged that the timing of the release was possibly/probably much more fortuitous than if it was released when originally recorded.<br>EJAE embodies talent, affability, and humility which is rare when someone reaches such global admiration.<br>I wish her all the success she desires.<br>I always appreciate your insights.<br>Thank you.
