Q: Why are Korean actors starting to be interested in becoming voice actors for animated films?

Lee Byung Hun, who was the first Korean artist to enter the Hollywood film industry, also became a pioneer in international voice acting. He voiced Gwima in K-POP DEMON HUNTERS (2025) in both English and Korean.
Q: Are K-Pop idols more suitable to be dubbers compared to actors?
Voice actors, or what are called dubbers, are voice talents who must have unique and appealing voices and characters that match the characters in the film.
Q: Is there a difference in salary between voice actors and drama actors?
Although specific data is not available, the payment for a voice actor in Korea generally varies. Famous actors like Lee Byung Hun likely receive premium pay for international projects like K-POP DEMON HUNTERS, while idols or beginner actors may receive standard pay in the voice acting industry.
