Lea Salonga on being part of ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’: ‘So glad to have done it’

July 29 ------ Lea Salonga raved about being one of the voice artists featured in the hit animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” saying she is glad to have been part of it even for a minor role. Salonga was behind the singing voice of the character of Celine, a former demon hunter who guides a new group of demon hunters. “I sing one line but it is one line I am so glad to have done because of how huge a hit,” she exclaimed in an ABS-CBN interview with Yong Chavez last Friday, July 25.

Salonga, a BTS fan, also pointed out that even the K-pop supergroup has seen the film and has been singing songs from it. “Does that mean that I am now officially one degree away from BTS because of this movie? I mean, it’s crazy,” she said. “I went in to sing one line. It was literally an hour out of my day. I didn’t know what was going to come of this,” she said. “I am happy to have given an hour out of my life for what is now the biggest animated hit on Netflix. It’s crazy. I’m so happy to have been a very very small part of it.”

While she admitted she has yet to see the movie, Salonga said she is already finding time to do so to catch up with the BTS members. Then speaking about her love for the septet, Salonga declared, “I will follow BTS off a cliff.” She recalled how she instantly became a fan girl after she saw BTS member V’s face in the music video of their hit song “Dynamite.” “I try to endeavor to listen to music that is very different from mine, and I think that is why I like ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’ as much as I do,” she added, referring to the album of BTS member RM. /ra
