Chris Appelhans, director of the Netflix animated film "K-pop Demon Hunters," is drawing attention for eating instant ramen raw at the Academy Awards.
On the 17th, Maren Gu, a Korean American writer and Appelhans' wife, posted a photo on her personal social media. The released photo showed Chris Appelhans attending the 98th Academy Awards, held on the 16th (local time the 15th).
In the photo, Appelhans attracted attention by eating Korean instant ramen with chopsticks during the Academy Awards. The ramen package even featured the face of the main character from "K-pop Demon Hunters," the film he co-directed with Korean American director Maggie Kang, drawing even more attention.
At the Academy Awards that day, "K-pop Demon Hunters" won best animated feature and best original song, becoming the first K-pop film to win two Oscars. Chris Appelhans, along with Korean American director Maggie Kang, took home the Oscar as co-directors of "K-pop Demon Hunters."
Meanwhile, the cute behind-the-scenes shot shared by his wife has amused Korean fans. <
