The KPOP Demon Hunters star is a confirmed fan of The 1975, with \u201cI Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)\u201d as his top song in 2025. His Spotify age, for inquiring minds? Twenty-four. \u201cI\u2019m still young!\u201d Ahn says.<\/p>\n<p>Also keeping him fresh is the Pro-Calm lip balm he stores in his Gucci messenger bag. \u201cIt says it has panthenol, which is good for recovery,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Something fans might not expect to find in Ahn\u2019s bag, however? \u201cLove,\u201d he says with a laugh, drawing his hands into a heart (of the millennial variety). \u201cI\u2019m a very optimistic guy, and I really believe in love. So I always try to bring it inside of me anywhere I go, to anyone I meet.\u201d Ahn admits that tapping into his inner villain to play Jinu in Demon Hunters proved a challenge. \u201cGoing into his emotions, it was actually pretty difficult,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Really, Ahn is more like the teddy bear keychain he keeps on his bag. \u201cThis is the one in Taipei, I think,\u201d he says of the bear. Good news for fans who bring him trinkets: Ahn keeps them near and dear. Also in his rotation is a keychain of his own cat, Ba-ul. \u201cMy cat\u2019s pretty famous among my fans, and they would always make this crazy stuff out of it,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s always cute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, Ahn Hyo-seop gives us a tour of his bag, from his favorite Korean noodles to more sweet gifts from fans.<\/p>\n<p>Director: Matthew Greeley<br \/>Director of Photography: Richard Martin<br \/>Editor: Sara Rao<br \/>Producer: Chase Lewis<br \/>Producer, On Set: Lily Hamilton<br \/>Associate Producer: Lea Donenberg<br \/>Assistant Camera: Stephen Cullina<br \/>Gaffer: Forrest Sassaman<br \/>Audio: Rebecca O&#8217;Neill<br \/>Production Assistant: Myles Haywood<br \/>Production Coordinator: Tan\u00eda Jones<br \/>Production Manager: Kristen Helmick<br \/>Line Producer: Natasha Soto-Albors<br \/>Assistant Editor: Fynn Lithgow<br \/>Post Production Coordinator: Holly Frew<br \/>Supervising Editor: Kameron Key<br \/>Post Production Supervisor: Alexa Deutsch<br \/>Talent Manager: Phoebe Dishner<br \/>Executive Producer: Rahel Gebreyes<br \/>Senior Director, Digital Video: Romy van den Broeke<br \/>Senior Director, Programming: Linda Gittleson<br \/>VP, Video Programming: Thespena Guatieri<br \/>Filmed on Location: The Times Square EDITION<br \/>Images Courtesy of: Ahn Hyo-seop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahn Hyo-seop is aging in reverse\u2014at least, according to Spotify.
