Netflix’s “Kpop Demon Hunters” became a global phenomenon among the K-Netizens, and the critics as well. That’s why the movie and the OST are getting major recognition in this award season, including the Critics' Choice Awards. The Kpop Demong Hunters’ stars Arden Cho, Ji-young Yoo, and May Hong were interviewed by Rotten Tomatoes to reflect on how the animated movie became a global phenomenon. However, the interview reached its climax after Ji-Young Joo brought to the table the iconic series Heated Rivalry. The voice actress was asked about what she had been watching lately. Yoo immediately addressed the Heated Rivalry series, calling it a “standout." “Heated Rivalry was great. It was excellent. I think it’s so well-acted. So well shot,” Ultimately, Ji-young Yoo highly recommended that fans check out the show. The idol also praised Connor Storrie, as she highlighted his portrayal of a Russian character, noting the impressive language work involved.
“I also think the two leads’ performances are insane. One of the leads speaks an insane amount of Russian and is not a Russian speaker. And I didn’t know that at all. He has an incredible Russian accent. Shout out to Connor Storrie.”
