Ahn Hyo Seop recently charmed fans with his candid and playful responses during a Q&A session hosted by Netflix, promoting his role in the animated feature KPop Demon Hunters. While the session centered on the film, several moments delighted K-drama fans—especially those still fond of his iconic role in Business Proposal.
One fan-submitted question stood out: “How did it feel when they played a soundtrack from Business Proposal in KPop Demon Hunters?” The OST plays during a crucial scene when the lead characters, Jinu and Rumi, meet for the first time, instantly catching the attention of long-time viewers of the 2022 drama. Ahn responded with a laugh, saying he was surprised by the inclusion. “That was a pleasant surprise,” he admitted. “I didn’t think they would actually use the original song in the movie. I thought it was really funny. And I also thought the directors were very smart to put the whole K-drama scene into the movie.” Fans praised the unexpected reference, calling it a clever and nostalgic crossover between his animated role and his romantic K-drama character, Kang Tae Moo.
Another heartwarming moment came when a fan asked, “Did you know that people started rewatching Business Proposal after hearing your voice again?” Ahn seemed genuinely touched, responding, “No, I did not know that, but thank you. Please enjoy.” His humble and warm reaction sparked a wave of rewatches across social media, with fans revisiting the chemistry-filled romance between him and co-star Kim Sejeong.
In KPop Demon Hunters, Ahn voices Jinu, the charming frontman of the Saja Boys, a rival K-pop group made up of actual demons. His character serves as a foil to the all-female group Huntr/x, who balance fame with battling supernatural forces. Ahn’s voice acting has been praised for its distinct, husky quality, which brings a unique charisma to his animated persona. Many viewers have noted how naturally he moves between genres, proving his range not just in live-action dramas but now in animation as well.
