Why it matters
The interview frames KPop Demon Hunters as a production built from existing K-pop industry relationships rather than assembled after the fact, which is the kind of detail that rarely surfaces in casting announcements.
Key Facts
- Rich Ting manages Andrew Choi, the lead singing voice of Jinu in KPop Demon Hunters.
- Rich Ting said he also represents Neckwav.
- Rich Ting spoke with Anime Herald at New York Comic Con 2026.
- Rich Ting said his connection to Andrew Choi came through his K-pop industry contacts in Korea.
Ting said his Korea contacts led him to Choi before Huntrix debuted, and he now represents Choi and Neckwav. He also recounted the shift from Asian-American leading men lacking roles in the early 2000s to fans now demanding Korean culture.
Ting's path into the film ran through talent management, not the cast list. He said a production company vertical and his acting work in Korea gave him the K-pop contacts that connected him with Andrew Choi, the lead singing voice of Jinu, and the relationship became a manager-talent arrangement.
He also described the reception shift in blunter terms. Early in his career, he said, Asian and Asian-American leading men had to convince people they could play a police officer or a firefighter. Now, he said, fans ask for the culture directly.
