In his caption, he wrote, &quot;missing Jinu.&quot;</p><p>Ahn Hyo Seop is the voice actor behind the male lead character, <strong>Jinu</strong>, a demon with a painful past who serves as the leader of the boy group <strong>Saja Boys</strong>. </p><p><em>KPop Demon Hunters </em>is about a group of three women demon hunters who are keeping the human world protected from demons by creating a barrier known as the <strong>Honmoon</strong> and using their voices to maintain that barrier. In the present time, these women—<strong>Rumi</strong> (Arden Cho), <strong>Mira</strong> (May Hong), and <strong>Zoey</strong> (Ji-young Yoo)—are members of the K-pop girl group <strong>Huntr/x</strong><strong></strong>. The demons schemed to weaken the Honmoon by posing as K-Pop idols with the group Saja Boys to steal the souls of fans. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><em></em><em></em></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLj4TpjNrAF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A13623236.899999999%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="510" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Fans of <em>KPop Demon Hunters </em>can&#x27;t get enough of how handsome Jinu is and how perfect the equally dashing Ahn Hyo Seop&#x27;s voice is for the character. The song &quot;Free&quot; is Jinu and Rumi&#x27;s duet, with artists <strong>Ejae</strong> and<strong> Andrew Choi </strong>lending their singing voices to the characters. </p><p><em></em>But, as a treat to the fans of Jinu, <em>Business Proposal </em>actor <em></em>Ahn Hyo Seop posted a cover of &quot;Free,&quot; much to the netizens&#x27; delight.
