Yoo Quiz: Lee Jae Reveals Connection to K-Pop Demon Hunters (KDH) and Lumi – The Untold Story

As the autumn air deepens, a heartwarming and profound story is spreading through the broadcasting world.
Lee Jae, a musician who appeared on Yoo Quiz on the Block, and Lumi, the virtual character he collaborated with, have touched many hearts through their connection in the work K-Pop Demon Hunters (KDH).
His story is not just a 'successful musician's memoir' but a record of one person's arduous journey of growth, unwavering passion, and new relationships forged through music. Now, let's delve into this narrative and explore the nuances of sincerity that we might have missed.
[1] Yoo Quiz: Lee Jae Reveals Connection to KDH and Lumi – From Trainee to Composer
Lee Jae spent approximately 12 years as a trainee at SM Entertainment. During that time, he shared practice rooms with famous idols but ultimately couldn't cross the threshold to debut. Although the disappointment was significant, he didn't stop at the end of that road.
He decided to redefine himself and ventured into another path of music: composing and producing. One of the results is the **KDH OST 'Golden'**. This song was released through the virtual character Lumi, but it contains Lee Jae's actual voice and emotions.
In an interview, he confessed, “I was initially hesitant to accept the Lumi vocal offer because I had a complex about my voice.” However, he faced that fear and ultimately completed Lumi with his own voice. What he showed wasn't perfect technique but the courage to embrace imperfection.

KDH is not just an animation. It's a multi-content project where music, story, and visuals are woven into a single narrative, and a new attempt to 'expand the world of K-POP.' At its center is the character Lumi. Lee Jae lent his voice to Lumi, pouring emotions beyond a simple task.
He expressed, “Lumi is another version of myself and a proxy for the emotions I couldn't express.” Like his words, Lumi's songs contained the wounds, healing, and sincerity of Lee Jae.
This connection is not a coincidence but the result of trust in music that sustained him for a long time and trust in colleagues who believed in him. And that trust eventually blossomed into the completed art that is 'KDH.'

Lee Jae was honest on Yoo Quiz on the Block. He confessed that he “cried himself to sleep every day” during his long trainee years. It took a long time to accept the reality of not debuting as an idol, and he revealed that he started making music again to prove himself.
He said, “Now, I want to create music that allows me to acknowledge myself, not someone else's standards.” This one statement resonated with many young people because it was an imperfect but sincere echo that embraced imperfection. And that sincerity was conveyed to the world through the character Lumi.
A voice that blurs the boundaries between virtuality and reality—that was his new expression and proof of existence.

Lee Jae was once a person who disappeared from the stage. But music called him back, and the person who responded to that call is the Lee Jae of today. He says, “I hope my song reaches someone who is lost, like I once was.”
His words contained regret and gratitude for the past and a new resolution. Now, he is no longer a trainee but a musician who has built his own world.

What he showed on Yoo Quiz wasn't 'an interview with a successful artist' but 'the story of how the human Lee Jae came to love himself again.'
