\n\tKen Jeong has been in enough hit movies and TV shows to recognize a legit viral smash when he sees one. That\u2019s why during a visit to The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em> on Tuesday morning (March 10) the Masked Singer<\/em> judge could not have more positive things to say about his small, but pivotal role as Bobby, the high-energy manager of fictional K-pop girl group Huntrix in the Netflix megahit KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cNo words, it is the gift that keeps on giving,\u201d Jeong said of the 2025 animated film that has racked up more than 500 million views to date, making it Netflix\u2019s most-watched original title of all time. \u201cI\u2019m just but like a very, very grateful small part \u2026 I\u2019m real life Bobby, because I play the band\u2019s manager, Bobby, in the movie,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd in real life, every time I see them, I\u2019m just like, \u2018I love my girls!\u2019 Like I\u2019m just so happy. I\u2019m happier for their success more than mine. It\u2019s their moment, and like the song goes, they\u2019re going up, up, up.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tJeong said he truly loves everyone he worked with on the film and admitted that he had no clue it was going to blow up into such a major pop culture phenomenon. \u201cWhen you do any project, whether you\u2019re going in for an album or a movie, it\u2019s all about the work,\u201d he said. \u201cYou just do your job and hope for the best. It just happens to be one of those rare moments in life where you do your job enough in different projects and you get used to doing it and sometimes it literally hits gold.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJeong admitted to being \u201cterrified\u201d dressing up as Bobby on The Masked Singer<\/em> earlier this year to sing the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100 No. 1 hit \u201cGolden\u201d with co-host Rita Ora<\/a> from atop a towering platform on the show, then stuck around to play a special piano tribute to his friend of 17 years and former Community<\/em> co-star Joel McHale. Spoofing \u201cGolden,\u201d he sang, \u201cHe\u2019s going down, down, down\/ It\u2019s Joel\u2019s moment\/ You know he\u2019s overrated\/ That\u2019s what I think of Joel\u201d before busting into another playful original about his other Masked Singer<\/em> pal, Robin Thicke.<\/p>\n \n\tWatch Jeong talk KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> on The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em> below.<\/p>\n
