Ahn Hyo Seop is lending his voice to Netflix’s upcoming global animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, produced in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation.
The film is a hybrid action-musical animation set in a world where globally popular K-pop girl group members live double lives—idol by day, demon hunters by night. Ahn Hyo Seop will voice the male lead, Jin Woo, a charismatic K-pop boy group leader who plays a pivotal role in the story.
Taking on this role, Ahn challenges himself with a full English performance, showcasing not only his fluency but also his ability to deliver nuanced emotional expression through voice alone—demonstrating a new level of artistry as a global K-actor.
K-Pop Demon Hunters is helmed by directors Maggie Kang, a Korean-American filmmaker, and Chris Appelhans of Wish Dragon. With the backing of Sony Pictures Animation, known for hits like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the project is drawing attention for its unique blend of Korean cultural identity and universal storytelling.
Fans around the world have expressed excitement for the film following the announcement of Ahn’s casting. The film is set to premiere in over 190 countries on Netflix on June 20th.
Meanwhile, Ahn Hyo Seop recently wrapped filming for the live-action movie Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, where he plays the lead role of Kim Dokja. The film is slated for release in July.
