After years of hard work and rejection, the film and “Golden” (written by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, IDO, 24 and Teddy Park) have changed the lives of EJAE (the singing voice of Rumi in the film), rapper and singer Ami, singer Audrey Nuna (the singing voice of Mira), and actors Arden Cho (the speaking voice of Rumi), Ji-young Yoo (the speaking voice of Zoey) and May Hong (the speaking voice of Mira). “Golden’s” lyrics: “I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’ like I’m born to be. We dreamin’ hard, we came so far. Now I believe,” seem fitting for their personal stories.
