According to a report on March 13, the actor is set to depart for the United States on March 14 to attend the 98th Academy Awards (2026 Oscars). The ceremony will take place on March 15 (local time) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Ahn Hyo Seop gained global recognition after lending his voice to the character Jinu of the Saja Boys in the hit animation KPop Demon Hunters. The character, known for his mysterious charm and powerful charisma, became extremely popular among viewers and earned the nickname “God Jinu” from fans.
The animated film follows the story of the fictional K-pop girl group Huntrix, who protect the world from evil spirits. Set in Seoul, the movie blends Korean cultural elements with action and music, attracting strong international attention.
Since its release in June 2025, the film has recorded over 500 million views worldwide on Netflix, becoming one of the platform’s most successful titles. The film’s main OST, “Golden,” also made history by reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, further fueling the global popularity of the project.
At this year’s Oscars ceremony, singers Ẹae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, who provided the vocals for Huntrix, are reportedly scheduled to perform “Golden” live on stage.
With the performance drawing attention from global audiences, Ahn Hyo Seop’s appearance at the ceremony has also become a topic of interest. Meanwhile, Netflix recently confirmed the production of a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters, with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning as part of a new multi-year partnership with the streaming platform.
