Arden Cho, the voice of Rumi in Netflix’s blockbuster 'KPop Demon Hunters', shares how her personal journey as a Korean-American resonates deeply with her character's. Reflecting on her upbringing, Cho reveals how societal beauty standards affected her self-image, saying, I hated that I looked Asian, that I didn't have blue eyes and blonde hair… The film, which has taken the streaming world by storm with over 33 million views within two weeks of its release, tells the story of Rumi, part human and part demon, on a quest to save the world while grappling with her dual identity. For Cho, this story is both a touchstone for her own life experiences and a representation of what many Asian-Americans go through today. As she has learned to embrace her identity, Rumi's character allows her to inspire young fans, emphasizing the importance of seeing oneself represented in popular media. The success of 'KPop Demon Hunters' signals a shift in mainstream culture towards greater inclusivity, a topic Cho passionately discusses as it intertwines with larger issues of immigration and identity in today’s society.
