Lea Salonga credited in Netflix's ‘KPop Demon Hunters' as singing voice of Celine
Ooh, Lea Salonga is in the credits of Netflix's newest animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters!'
According to Netflix Tudum, the Filipina Broadway star is among the voices behind the film's musical moments, and in the rolling credits, Lea is credited as the voice of character Celine, a retired demon hunter who now guides Rumi, Mira, and Zoey in their journey as the next generation of demon hunters.
'KPop Demon Hunters' follows three K-pop superstars—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—who lead double lives as secret demon hunters, fiercely protecting their fans from supernatural threats.
Posing as a threat is a rival boy band of demons in disguise.
As if that's not interesting enough, the songs are performed by Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung of the K-pop group Twice.
It was released on Netflix on June 20 and quickly became a hit, soaring to the number one spot on the platform's Top 10 Movies in the Philippines.
We all know this isn't Lea's first time to lend her voice for animation. She was also the singing voice behind Jasmine of 'Aladdin,' and the titular character of "Mulan." — Jade Veronique Yap/LA, GMA Integrated News
