Ahn Hyo Seop met with Park Bo Gum on the latest episode of 'The Seasons - Park Bo Gum's Cantabile' and shared some behind-the-scenes stories from the hit Netflix animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.'

The July 11 episode of KBS 2 TV's 'The Seasons - Park Bo Gum's Cantabile' featured singer Jung Yong Hwa, artist g0nny, actor Ahn Hyo Seop, and rookie group HITGS.

This was Ahn Hyo Seop's first time meeting Park Bo Gum in person, and they put on a special collaborative stage for fans. Ahn Hyo Seop sang three tracks, "Gather My Tears," "Love in My Arms," and "Thanks," while Park Bo Gum accompanied him on the piano.

During the talk segment, Ahn Hyo Seop revealed how he got to act as the voice of Jinu from 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.'

Ahn Hyo Seop revealed this was the first time he had voiced in English and shared, "This was the first time I acted in English. I was really nervous, but it was really fun. I enjoy animations, so I enjoyed watching the production process."


Park Bo Gum asked, "I was curious, like, um, were you acting by imitating those characters’ behaviors, including those kinds of expressions and interjections they use?" Ahn Hyo Seop candidly explained, "There were times I was given just the sketches, or a rough draft of the animation," and elaborated that he had to act using his imagination.

Ahn Hyo Seop also had to record his voice over after receiving a recording of the other cast member. He shared, "I received a recording (of the other actors), and had to act after listening to it."

Park Bo Gum expressed his amazement and shared, "It must've been difficult, since you had to act basically alone. But it's so amazing how you pulled it off so awesomely. It's so impressive and cool."



Meanwhile, 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' had caused a global sensation following its release on June 20. The animated film broke records as it ranked No. 1 in 22 countries, including the U.S., U.K., and Australia, in just one day after the Netflix premiere.

Additionally, all the original soundtracks from the film gained massive attention, with the soundtrack album reaching a new peak of No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
