Actor Aden Joe revealed how he joined "K-pop Demon Hunters."
Recently, I met and interviewed Arden Cho, who is the voice of Rumi, the Netflix film "K-pop Demon Hunters," somewhere in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
It was a coincidence and fate that Aden Joe joined Kedeheon. He said he had decided to retire before Kedegen. He said, "I've been an actor in the U.S. for more than 20 years, and I thought it was 'My Time' as I took on a one-top drama. But unfortunately, the drama ended quickly, he said. "At that time, I thought, 'I guess I'm going this far.' I decided to retire because I was tired and difficult, and I wasn't confident about auditioning. "I just started, and I felt so sad and unfair that it was over," he said.
"If you work with Koreans, you see me as an American, and if you work with Americans, you see me as a stranger again. It's the first time in my career that I've made a Hollywood work with Korean staff, he said. "At first, I heard that there was a work by director Maggie Kang, and I wanted to do it, thinking, 'My mom is Kang, too?' I enjoyed reading the script," he said.
He said, "At first, I auditioned for about 10 lines for the role of Celine (Kim Yoon-jin). But a year later, a callback came in as Rumi. Of course, it was good to be the main character, but I was also worried. I thought there would be many actors who can do better than me. I heard that the audition competition rate was also high, and I really wanted to do well," he explained.
Adenjo said that the voice acting of "Kedeheon" opened a new path and created energy, adding, "I felt that I really loved acting. It's my first time recording in front of the microphone, so I'm very embarrassed. But it's nice to have less hair and makeup time and only be able to act. So I also wanted to film a movie again. That's what I'm most grateful for. It reminded me of why I wanted to be an actor," he said.
