💥 Ahn Hyo-seop Takes Over the World with Dual-Fandom Love
Ahn Hyo-seop is proving once again why he’s a certified global heartthrob.
Currently juggling two high-profile roles — as “Jinu,” the charismatic leader of Saja Boys in K-Pop Demon Hunters, and “Kim Dokja,” the unlikely hero in the hit fantasy film Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint — Ahn is now connecting with international fans through two creative and interactive fan events.
His dual-screen presence, one animated and one live-action, is captivating fans across the globe. And to celebrate these milestones, two unique fan experiences are underway — both designed to let fans express their creativity and devotion.
🐯 Fan Event #1: Message to Jinu – A Tribute to His Demon-Hunting Idol Persona
In K-Pop Demon Hunters, Ahn Hyo-seop voices “Jinu,” a reaper-idol hybrid who leads the Saja Boys. The theme song FREE, performed by Ahn himself, reached 10 million views within 24 hours, showing his massive global reach.
To celebrate this, fans can now participate in a “Message to Jinu” Instagram challenge. By posting heartfelt or creative content for the character on their own Instagram, 20 lucky fans will win exclusive “Saja Boys” merchandise autographed by Ahn Hyo-seop himself.
It’s more than just a giveaway — it’s a celebration of character storytelling, fan interaction, and global fandom unity.
📸 Fan Event #2: “A Day in Dokja’s Life” – Snap Your Own Fantasy Journey
For Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, Ahn takes on the role of “Kim Dokja,” a seemingly ordinary office worker who finds himself at the center of an apocalyptic fantasy world.
To commemorate the film’s release, from July 23 to August 23, fans in Korea can visit Photoism Box and Colord photo booths to use custom selfie frames inspired by Kim Dokja’s daily routine — from commuting and lunch breaks to late-night cravings.
The concept? Reimagine the end-of-the-world protagonist’s life through everyday moments. The interactive frames feature playful poses by Ahn Hyo-seop and adorable themed stickers, making each fan photo a personal collectible.
🎬 Box Office King + Voice Actor = Global Phenomenon
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint marks Ahn’s big-screen debut. Adapted from a massively popular web novel, the film follows Kim Dokja and his journey through a world that suddenly turns into a novel plot — one only he remembers.
Since its release, the movie has topped the Korean box office, claiming #1 in pre-sales for six days and #1 on opening day.
Whether it’s through voice acting in an animated global Netflix hit or starring in a blockbuster live-action adaptation, Ahn Hyo-seop’s range is blowing minds and melting hearts.
📢 Why This Matters to Fans
These two fan events showcase the future of Korean entertainment — immersive, cross-media experiences that empower fans to engage beyond just watching. Whether you’re Team Jinu or Team Dokja (or both!), Ahn Hyo-seop is giving fans front-row access to his artistry.
As K-content continues to dominate the global stage, actors like Ahn — who seamlessly move between animation, film, and fan interaction — are leading the next wave.
