Jiyoung Yoo is the voice (not the singing, the acting) of Zoey in Kpop Demon Hunters, and Eric Nam is a soloist whose most famous song is probably "Spring Love" with Wendy.

Synopsis: The movie follows a young Korean-American woman who defies her family’s wishes to compete in a televised competition to find the next K-pop girl group.

Paramount is a choice, but my bigger concern is that entertainment companies are going to learn the wrong lesson from Kpop Demon Hunters and focus on something superficial (it's got Kpop!) and think that's what made it successful. Like Mattel green-lighting a bunch of films based on toy brands, as if that was the part that made Barbie so successful.

But maybe it will be legit good, who knows.
