Arden Cho and Ahn Hyo-seop, the voices behind Rumi and Jinu in the record-breaking Netflix animated feature ‘KPop Demon Hunters’, are set to appear together on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on Monday, January 12. This milestone marks the first-ever joint interview for the two actors, as well as their official late-night television debut. The announcement comes as the film continues its historic run, recently surpassing 500 million global views to become the most-watched Netflix movie of all time. The January 12 broadcast will also feature guests Kristen Wiig and Ashton Kutcher, alongside a musical performance by rising country star Ty Meyers.
The cultural impact of ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ has been immense since its premiere 27 weeks ago, garnering three Golden Globe nominations and a NYFCC win for Best Animated Feature. The film’s Double Platinum soundtrack has also made waves in the music industry with five Grammy nominations, including a nod for Song of the Year for the hit “Golden.” Cho and Ahn’s upcoming sit-down follows a high-energy October visit from the film’s singing voices—EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, and REI AMI—whose performance of “Golden” generated over 379 million views across social platforms. Fans can tune in to NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT to catch the duo’s debut, with the episode available for streaming on Peacock the following day.
