At the heart of the film is the fictional girl group Huntr/x. An accomplished K-pop band by day and fierce demon hunters by night, Huntr/x is gaining considerable real-world fame, all while battling a demon boy band. Among its members is Rumi, voiced by none other than Korean-American actress and singer Arden Cho, known for her roles in Partner Track and Teen Wolf.
The film’s dramatic ending has left fans longing for a sequel, and while the continuation of Rumi’s action-filled story isn’t confirmed, Cho is set to be busy for the foreseeable future. The 40-year-old actress has secured roles in Perfect Girl, a K-pop-themed thriller also starring Hong Kong-born Adeline Rudolph, and a romcom with Margaret Cho.
Here’s what to know about Arden Cho.

Cho is a long-time fan of K-pop and has been singing songs from the genre for decades. In an interview with Mashable, she revealed her love for many K-pop groups, including first-generation legends like S.E.S. and H.O.T. Her favourite is, of course, the global phenomenon BTS.
“I was covering K-pop songs since the early 2000s,” she said. “I remember I covered BTS before BTS became BTS. And then I was like, ‘I told you they were good!’ And then, you know, they got huge.”
Cho has also released her own music. Her debut single “I’m Just a Girl” was released in 2011; two years later, she debuted her first EP, “My True Happy”.
