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.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The film\u2019s dramatic ending has left fans longing for a sequel, and while the continuation of Rumi\u2019s action-filled story isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Here\u2019s what to know about Arden Cho.<\/p>\n<h3 type=\"h3\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-17x7qa9 e1pqa4re1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component-0\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">She\u2019s a K-pop fan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Arden Cho is a long-time fan of K-pop and has been singing songs from the genre for decades.
