Sing like Jinu: ‘KPop Demon Hunters' lead vocalist Andrew Choi to host workshops in Singapore end-July (VIDEO)
The smooth vocals behind the animated heartthrob, Andrew Choi, is making his way to Singapore to share his secrets — one high note at a time.
Hot on the heels of KPop Demon Hunters becoming a global streaming sensation — it's been topping Netflix charts and launching its fictional K-pop bands Saja Boys and Huntrix into real-world Spotify stardom — Singapore is set to get a double dose of Demon Hunter energy this July.
Fans can catch Ahn Hyo-seop, the voice actor behind Jinu, at a promo event for his new film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy on July 29.
But before that, it's all about the vocals.
Choi, who provided Jinu's singing voice and has worked with heavy-hitters like NCT 127 and Shinee, will be hosting exclusive vocal workshops at SM Universe (Singapore), the K-pop training academy launched by SM Entertainment.
For those dreaming of singing just like Jinu, Choi's got options.
One-on-one lessons — a full hour of personalised training — will run from July 25 to 29, priced at S$300/RM1,000 (before GST).
Group classes will be held on July 26 and 27, from 11am to 12.30pm, where participants will dive into the vocal techniques behind 'Soda Pop' for S$420 (before GST).
So whether you're a hardcore KPop Demon Hunters fan or just want to belt out 'Soda Pop' like a pro, this might just be your chance to get one step closer to K-pop stardom — demon style.

How One Artist Is Transforming an Ancient Taiwanese Folk Craft
Alemani first encountered Zhang Xu's work last year while on an art-prize jury and was struck by his craftsmanship and detail. 'It seems quite simple, but it's actually incredibly sophisticated in the making,' she tells Vogue. 'What I loved was this balance between an almost fairy-tale atmosphere and something quite ritualistic and traditional that belongs very much to his family and country.' She found it a perfect match with MOIFA: 'There is something about folk art that feels very popular in a good way, in a way that is not too detached. I wanted that to translate in this installation—something that could be approached by kids and the usual visitors but also by contemporary-art-world people. Contemporary art can create new ways of seeing the amazing collection already there.' The boundaries between folk and contemporary art have long been fluid, from 1940s Art Brut; to feminist and conceptual artists reclaiming craft, ritual, and domestic traditions in the '60s and '70s; to the present, when museums and art fairs have fully embraced folk-informed contemporary practices. Today artists from Ai Weiwei and Nick Cave to El Anatsui, Kimsooja, and Jeffrey Gibson have drawn from or engaged with folk-art traditions. For Zhang Xu, however, 'Taiwanese ceremonial crafts were never considered art in my childhood—it was part of survival.' He admits to at times longing to escape the practice—though he's found freedom creating from his vision instead of fulfilling customer requests. Artist Zhang Xu Zhan as a child with his father and sister at their family's Taipei workshop Photos: Courtesy of the artist A large paper house and other effigies hang from the ceiling in Zhang Xu's family's kitchen. Funeral items are commonly prepared in advance so they can be sold the moment a client needs them. Photos: Courtesy of the artist 'What makes my relationship to these materials unique,' he observes, 'is that I don't treat them as fixed cultural symbols. They've been a part of my life for so long that I interact with them intuitively. I'm not looking at them from a distance but from lived experience.' For example, in Taiwan paper puppets are often displayed standing reverently at funerals. But in his home, where for storage they were tucked away in every available corner, 'they would often hang from the ceiling waiting to be sold, almost like bats. These everyday memories help me avoid cliché readings of tradition and instead find new ways of interpreting them.' Zhang Xu says that his father, who still works the family trade, doesn't quite understand his son's career—he criticizes his animals as not being realistic enough—but has heard friends mention his accolades. The artist has had several solo shows in Asia and participated in group exhibitions and film festivals there and in Europe; the High Line in New York screened his films earlier this year. He's also at work on a new film about water lanterns in different Asian traditions, from India to Vietnam, China, and Japan.

Sonija Kwok denies marital woe with husband
28 Jul - Sonija Kwok was shocked and flabbergasted after a new rumour has emerged that she and husband Zhu Shaojie are no longer together. The whole issue started with a video she shared on social media, where she and her daughter Kylie went on a holiday to Maldives together without her husband. She wrote, "It's time to get moving and go see the world. I was in Maldives last year at this time. Our destination is Vietnam this year. Btw, happy birthday to me." The absence of Zhu had since sparked a speculation among fans that the two have ended their marriage. Sonija immediately released a response on Instagram, writing, "Thank you all for your concern. Never thought of a mum and daughter adventure would lead to rumours. My husband's movie in the mainland is in full swing, and it's really impossible [for him] to find time to leave and come with us." "My daughter and I both understand and thank my husband for his hard work so we can travel, eat, drink and have fun," she added. Looks like Sonija and Kylie had a wonderful mother-daughter quality and bonding time on their holiday: View this post on Instagram A post shared by 郭羡妮 (@sonijakk) (Photo Source: Sonija IG)
