Arden Cho

Arden Cho grew up in Texas, the daughter of Korean immigrants, and studied at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before moving to Los Angeles. She broke through as Kira Yukimura on MTV's Teen Wolf (2013-2016), one of the first Korean-American characters to hold a main cast slot on a major cable series. A trained taekwondo martial artist, the physicality shows in her fight choreography across multiple projects. After Teen Wolf, Cho built a following on YouTube with music covers and original tracks, releasing singles that showed genuine vocal range. Netflix gave her two high-profile roles back to back: the lead in legal drama Partner Track (2022) and a recurring part in the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024). Then came KPop Demon Hunters (2025), where her voice performance as Rumi earned Best Voice Acting at the 53rd Annie Awards. Next up, Cho stars in Perfect Girl, a psychological K-pop thriller directed by Hong Won-ki from the BTS documentary team, co-starring Adeline Rudolph (Mortal Kombat II) and Jeon Somi in her acting debut. The film is produced under Badlands, John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk's genre label, with casting confirmed by January 2025.
