Actor Ahn Hyo-seop kicked off the New Year with a set of photos that immediately caught fans’ attention.
On January 1, Ahn shared several images on Instagram with the caption, “Make every moment count. Happy New Year.” In the photos, he is seen holding lightsticks for the fictional groups Huntrix and Saja Boys from the Netflix animated film K-Pop: Demon Hunters.
Other shots show him in a beanie looking up at the camera, as well as relaxed, off-duty moments that contrast with his on-screen roles. The combination led fans to comment that he looked like Jin-woo — the character he voices in the film — brought to life.
Reactions included comments such as, “Jin-woo in real life,” and “This is exactly how I imagined him.”
Ahn lends his voice to Jin-woo, a member of Saja Boys in K-Pop: Demon Hunters, and his resemblance to the character has continued to draw praise from global audiences.
