Aden Cho's award, which was praised for her voice acting of the main character "Rumi" in the work, simultaneously embodying delicate emotional lines and intense energy and raising the level of immersion in the work, is the result of her official recognition as an artist with multi-layered capabilities as an actor, vocal performer, and storyteller.

In particular, Adenjo is solidifying his identity as a Korean actor and expanding the contact point between Korean culture and global content. He has already established a multi-hybrid career through activities across music, animation, and drama, and a new influx of animation and K-pop fans is combining to form a wide base of support.

In particular, at the ceremony, Aden Joe reunited with actor Dylan O'Brien, who worked with him in the drama "Teen Wolf," at the ceremony, drawing attention, and Dylan won the Game Changer Award. "The process of breaking the stereotype between the image of a K-pop star and the Rumi character I thought was the key," Aden Cho said in a short interview on the red carpet of the ceremony. "I sincerely respected the role and wanted to show a fantastic, authentic, and girlish appearance.""I explained.

"It is an honor for my voice to serve as a bridge in the story that connects Korea and the world, and I will convey a deeper and wider impression in the future," he said.

Currently, Adenjo is discussing follow-up projects and various global collaborations based on the success of "Kedeheon," and plans to continue activities that encompass animation, drama, and music between the United States and Korea.

Meanwhile, Aden Cho will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with actor Ahn Hyo-seop on Jan. 12 local time to deliver behind-the-scenes stories of Kedegen's voice acting and messages from his work.
