Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, best known as the mysterious Front Man in Squid Game, has taken on another villain role before the release of Squid Game season 3. This time, he’s voicing the main antagonist in Netflix’s new animated movie KPop Demon Hunters.
In the movie, Lee voices Gwi-ma, a demon lord who threatens the world while a secret K-pop girl group fights to stop him.
The film, released on Netflix, mixes K-pop music, animation, and fantasy, offering a fun twist on the usual pop star story.
