Director Ahn Jae-hoon has voiced his appreciation for actors Jung Hae-in and Kang Ha-neul's decision to lend their voices to the upcoming Korean animation, 'The Deep Inside.' Ahn acknowledged that taking on voice roles in Korean animation is not a simple choice, especially for actors accustomed to live-action performances.

Speaking at a press and distribution preview event for 'The Deep Inside' held in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, on August 26th, Ahn expressed his gratitude. "It must not have been an easy choice for the actors to take on voice acting for Korean animation, but I am thankful they participated," he stated.

The film, scheduled for release on September 9th, centers around a character named Agami, who is cast into deep water and develops gills. The narrative promises a unique story within the realm of Korean animation, a field that Ahn hopes will benefit from the involvement of established actors.

This collaboration highlights a growing trend of prominent actors engaging with animated projects, potentially boosting the profile and appeal of domestic animation. Ahn's comments underscore the artistic and professional commitment required from actors venturing into this specialized form of performance.
