    KPop Demon Hunters star Ji-young Yoo was asked for an autograph while at the hospital receiving treatment for a back issue

    The 26 year old American actress, who voiced Zoey in the hit 2025 Netflix animated film, has revealed the most unusual place a fan has ever asked her to sign an autograph.


    Speaking to E! News on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Sunday night (04.01.26), she said: "I would say the weirdest place I've been asked for a signature is in the hospital."

    Reassuring fans about her hospital visit, she said: "I hurt my back. I'm totally fine."

    The film is up for Best Animated Feature and Best Song for Golden at this evening's ceremony.

    Meanwhile, her co-star, Arden Cho, who is the voice behind HUNTR/X's member Rumi, revealed she would love to see the fictional girl group collaborate with K-pop giants BTS.

    She said: "I don't know why automatically I was like BTS, only because they're having a comeback. Also because, you know, I'm a fan."

    On the topic of KPop Demon Hunters and medical appointments, EJAE, who provided the singing vocals for Rumi, previously revealed she composed Golden on the way to the dentist.

    She told Variety: "I actually wrote the melody on my way to the dentist."
