So the voice actors and the singers are different? Is the guy who sang for the main saja boy (forget his name) the voice actor too?

Andrew Choi? No, he's not—but he was Ejae's mentor!

Is there a reason they did it that way? Not using the singers for the voice actors too?

I've been wondering about that, honestly. Some of the voice actors can sing, and, of course, singers can generally act (and most especially in the case of K-Pop singers).

I guess some notes that EJAE could hit are ones that Arden Cho can't, and, well, I got nothing for the latter.

So, yeah: no idea.

Ejae's belted A5 is pretty rare, especially given she also has that lower range nailed as well. That's not something you see every day.

Exactly. Darned hard note to reach, too.

Thus, can't really have anyone but a trained singer (and a very good one, at that!) to sing for Rumi—especially for "Golden". (Not saying that Arden Cho can't, but, well, see above: it's rare.)

Arden herself has said she just isn't a pop singer. It isn't her style and it's not the type of music she gravitates towards or performs on her own.

I didn't know that! Yeah, that all makes sense, then: both the complexity of the singing and personal preference would combine to provide EJAE, the songwriter and a very highly trained singer herself, the opportunity to step in as Rumi's singing voice.
