Leonardo DiCaprio could throw any of us off of our game — as EJAE can testify.

The “KPop Demon Hunters” vocalist spoke with the U.K. newspaper the Times and recounted her experience performing at this past year’s BAFTA Awards. “I made mistakes,” she said. “I cracked a little bit on the high notes. Leonardo DiCaprio was [in the audience] right in front of me and he was not smiling.”
