Saja Boys' Real Voices Head to London: Andrew Choi and Neckwav Announce First U.K. Live Show

Andrew Choi and Neckwav, the singing voices behind two characters from Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters, will make their first-ever live U.K. performance on 6 September at Outernet Live in central London. Billboard

The one-night-only show is set for the 2,000-capacity venue, and tickets were already on sale when the performance was announced, according to the Official Charts Company. Fans arriving for the event will be greeted by a newly commissioned immersive artist experience playing on the massive screens across the Outernet London district, per a release.

Choi voiced the singing parts of Jinu, and Neckwav — whose given name is Kyung Jay Minn — provided the singing voice for Abby, both members of the Saja Boys. The Saja Boys are not a real K-pop group but fictional characters created for the animated film, which also features Kevin Woo as Mystery and samUIL Lee as Romance in the same boy band. In the story, the Saja Boys battle against a demon-hunting vocal trio called HUNTR/X. Their songs include "Soda Pop" and "Your Idol." Billboard

The film has drawn attention for blurring the line between animated fiction and the mechanics of real pop stardom — the Saja Boys have songs credited to them, characters with stage personas, and now the actual singers behind those characters stepping onto a physical stage. The Outernet show takes that a step further: the voices that existed only inside the film will perform live, in a venue equipped with screens large enough to extend the film's visual world into the room.

Neckwav said in a release that he is honoured to bring his voice as the singing voice behind Abby Saja to life at Outernet Live. Choi, in his own statement, said the duo is incredibly excited to share the stage during their first-ever performance in London. Billboard

For fans of the film, the 6 September date is the first chance to hear those songs performed by the singers who recorded them — not as characters on a screen, but as musicians in a room.
