Arden Cho, a Korean American actor, voices the character Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters.
Just before joining the project, she was on the verge of stepping away from acting due to a lack of work. Instead, her role in KPop Demon Hunters marked a turning point, opening what many are calling a new peak in her career (Daum News).

Growing up in San Antonio and Plano, TX in the 1990s, Cho has shared that she often felt like she didn’t quite belong (The Kelly Clarkson Show).
- She was frequently the only Asian student in her school at a time when Korea wasn’t widely known (The Kelly Clarkson Show).
As she moved into acting, questions of identity followed—was she Korean, American, Korean American, or simply a Texan? (The Kelly Clarkson Show).
She has also spoken candidly about feeling caught between worlds in the entertainment industry—seen as American when working with Koreans, and Korean when working with Americans. In that sense, she often felt like an outsider on both sides. That’s why collaborating with Korean colleagues on a Hollywood production like KPop Demon Hunters felt especially meaningful to her (Daum News).
