I also had a strong desire to create an enjoyable memory for fans overseas who have shown me so much love. The way the project conveys the message of &#x27;love&#x27; through music and K-pop also felt very unique to me,&quot; he said as per English translation.Hyo-seop also shared that the film&#x27;s director had also personally reached out to him. &quot;Before joining the project, director Maggie Kang sent me a letter. Through it, I could feel her warmth and her deep love for the project,&quot; he recounted.Meanwhile in a previous interview with The Daily Report of CBS News, Hyo-seop reflected on why the film resonated with audiences across the world.&quot;I think because it&#x27;s very honest. It&#x27;s about accepting who you are. It&#x27;s also about facing the ones inside of us. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone got someting that they wish they can undo or hide. And sometimes our biggest obstacle isn&#x27;t the world, it&#x27;s ourselves,&quot; he remarked.The actor added that the film&#x27;s main characters go through journeys that many people can relate to. &quot;Jinu and Rumi, the main characters, face that and instead of running, they grow. I feel like that&#x27;s something that a lot of people can relate to,&quot; he remarked.Meanwhile, in an interview with The Playlist, Arden revealed she had already stepped away from acting before KPop Demon Hunters was offered to her.&quot;It was one of those things where, &#x27;O.K., yes, I&#x27;m still retired, I&#x27;m done. I&#x27;m not doing any auditions. I&#x27;m not doing this anymore.&#x27; But this is different, an animation. And I love animation, and this is for the kids,&quot; she said.She went on: &quot;This one was for me, this is for Baby Arden, who grew up feeling like I didn&#x27;t see myself in a lot of these stories, and KPop Demon Hunters is really the movie that I always hoped for, dreamed for. And again, to be able to have a part in it is just such an incredible honor. And I&#x27;m so grateful people are seeing it and loving it,&quot; she said.With the success of the Netflix animated movie, Arden shared that what changed for her was discovering a new surge of motivation.&quot;I will say that probably the biggest change in the last two months is that I have had this newfound, immense wave of energy. And this new feeling of maybe it’s not too late. No, it&#x27;s never too late. Maybe now is the time,&quot; she remarked.
