Singer-songwriter EJAE, who gained worldwide attention after performing Golden, the OST from KPop Demon Hunters, has become a hot topic once again following her appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While fans praised her performance of the official anthem DNA, which notably included Korean lyrics, many were also fascinated by one unexpected detail — her choice of footwear.
On June 12, EJAE took the stage at Mexico City Stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, performing the tournament’s official theme song DNA alongside world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli.
For the special occasion, EJAE wore a dress featuring a voluminous skirt reminiscent of traditional Korean hanbok silhouettes, showcasing an elegant blend of Korean-inspired aesthetics on the global stage.
However, it was later revealed that EJAE chose to wear sneakers instead of high heels to help protect the stadium grass during the performance. As the detail spread online, social media quickly filled with curious fans asking about the exact brand and model of her shoes.
EJAE reportedly paired her flowing dress with sneakers from Brand A, creating a fashion statement that balanced traditional elegance with sporty practicality. The unexpected styling choice drew praise for seamlessly blending comfort and sophistication.
Online reactions quickly poured in, with many netizens commenting, “She probably wore sneakers to avoid damaging the grass,” “What brand are those shoes?” and “They actually match the outfit perfectly.”
