Ahn Hyo-seop to voice Jinu in Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters

Actor Ahn Hyo-seop was chosen to voice Jinu in 'KPop Demon Hunters' due to his English fluency and prominence in the South Korean entertainment industry.

Director Maggie Kang emphasized casting Korean actors to ensure the animated movie resonated as a Korean production, solidifying her decision after witnessing Hyo-seop speak fluent English.

'KPop Demon Hunters,' co-written and directed by Korean-Canadian Maggie Kang, is Netflix's most-watched film and has held its first sing-along screening in South Korea at the Busan International Film Festival.

The K-pop fantasy film follows a K-pop girl group descended from demon slayers, with fans attending sold-out sing-along screenings across the United States and Canada.

The movie's soundtrack has dominated Billboard's Streaming Songs chart, and fans, including children dressed as characters, enthusiastically participated in the sing-along screenings.
