What is Arden Cho known for?

Arden Cho built her career across network television and streaming platforms, but her most recognizable role came from an MTV supernatural drama. Her filmography spans teen dramas, legal procedurals, animated films, and live-action adaptations of beloved animated series.

Teen Wolf

Arden Cho portrayed Kira Yukimura in MTV’s Teen Wolf from Season 3 to Season 6 (2013–2016). Kira was introduced as the love interest for Tyler Posey’s character Scott McCall, and she brought a kitsune mythology arc to the show that ran for three seasons. Arden Cho announced in April 2016 that she would not return for Season 6 (Teen Wolf Wiki), and her character was written off at the end of Season 5.

What this means

Reports indicated that Arden Cho was offered less than her other female co-stars on Teen Wolf (Screen Rant), which may have contributed to her departure. She was not included in the Teen Wolf movie cast.

Chicago Med

No search results confirmed Arden Cho’s appearance in Chicago Med. This claim appears in some query variations but could not be verified against primary sources. Arden Cho appeared in other NBC shows including Rizzoli & Isles and Hawaii Five-O (Fandango), but a Chicago Med credit remains unconfirmed.

The pattern suggests Arden Cho has had guest roles across multiple network shows without a recurring network drama credit since Teen Wolf.

The Honor List

Arden Cho appeared in The Honor List (2018), a film that starred Arden Cho alongside other actresses. The film followed four college friends navigating their reunion after a tragedy.

Who does Arden Cho play in Avatar?

Arden Cho played June in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV Guide), which premiered in 2024. June is a recurring character in the original animated series—a skilled tracker known for her ability to locate anyone using her precision senses.

The role marked a notable project in Arden Cho’s streaming career, following her Netflix legal drama Partner Track (2022) where she played Ingrid Yun (Wikipedia). Her casting in a major franchise adaptation demonstrated her transition from supporting cable roles to prominent streaming projects.

Who plays Rumi in K-pop?

Arden Cho voiced Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, a Sony Pictures Animation film released on Netflix in 2025 (Wikipedia). The animated feature became Netflix’s most-watched animated film of all time by July 2025 and surpassed Red Notice (2021) to become Netflix’s most-watched film ever with 236 million views by August 2025.

The catch

It’s unclear whether Arden Cho handled singing duties for Rumi’s musical sequences or if a separate vocalist was credited. Voice actor credits for musical roles in animated features sometimes list multiple performers.

Teen Wolf and other TV appearances

Beyond Teen Wolf, Arden Cho appeared in multiple television series across networks. She had guest roles in Pretty Little Liars (Wikipedia), Rizzoli & Isles, Hawaii Five-O, CSI: New York, and Castle (Rotten Tomatoes). Early in her career, she appeared in Walking the Halls for Lifetime in 2012 (Teen Wolf Wiki) and the Syfy original Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.

She also appeared in the web series K-Town Cowboys as Sarah and played the grown-up lead of Hyori in the short film My First Crush (2008), directed by Rocky Jo (Wikipedia).

Is Arden Cho Korean or Chinese?

Arden Cho is Korean-American (Teen Wolf Wiki). She was born Arden Lim Cho on August 16, 1985. She has appeared in projects in both the United States and Asia, and her career has included work in commercials and television across both markets (Wikipedia).

KPop Demon Hunters helped me find new layers to acting that I didn’t know were there. You have to bring so much more personality to voice work since there’s no facial expression to rely on. You can find a full list of Arden Cho’s film and TV roles at Emily Blunt’s films.
