Arden Cho and Ahn Hyo-seop, the voice actors who play love interests Rumi and Jinu in “KPop Demon Hunters,” will do their first-ever joint interview on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.”
The episode will air on Jan. 12 at 11:35 p.m. on NBC before streaming on Peacock the next day. News of Cho and Hyo-seop’s sit-down with Fallon was announced in a teaser video NBC released on social media. In the video, a young girl approaches Fallon with a piece of paper, saying, “Excuse me, mister, I made this for you.” He takes the paper and sees a drawing of Rumi and Jinu with the actors’ names and the date of the episode written on it.
This isn’t the first time Fallon’s show has been the platform for a “KPop Demon Hunters” star. In October, the singing voices behind Rumi (Ejae), Mira (Nuna) and Zoey (Rei Ami) performed the song “Golden” on “The Tonight Show” and joined Fallon on the couch. The Oct. 7 episode was originally set to be their first-ever televised appearance and live performance — before they made a surprise cameo in an episode of “Saturday Night Live” hosted by Bad Bunny on Oct. 4.
Besides Cho and Hyo-seop, “The Tonight Show” will also feature guests Kristen Wiig and Ashton Kutcher and a musical performance by Ty Meyers on Jan. 12.
“KPop Demon Hunters” premiered on Netflix on June 20 and quickly became the streamer’s most popular English-language film of all time. Since then it has accrued more than 500 million views worldwide.
