Arden Cho has signed with 1v1 Entertainment for Film/TV management, with founder and CEO Phillip Sun overseeing the deal. She continues her agency relationship with Innovative Artists and retains ImPrint PR for publicity.
The signing comes at one of the highest points in Cho’s career. Her lead voice role as Rumi in Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters (2025) became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon, shattering viewership records to become Netflix’s most-watched film of all time and the first title to spend 52 consecutive weeks in the platform’s global Top 10.
The acclaimed musical urban fantasy film won two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, and a Grammy Award for its chart-topping soundtrack, cementing Cho’s performance at the center of a historic awards season.
She next stars in the upcoming thriller Perfect Girl, which also features Ally Nitibhon, who recently signed with Industry Entertainment for US management, and marks one of the most-watched casting moves in the space. Her other notable Netflix credits include the legal drama Partner Track (2022) and the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024).
1v1 Entertainment is a full-service management firm founded by Phillip Sun, who previously served as managing partner at M88 and as a partner at WME, where he became one of the first Asian American agents to reach that rank.
His current client roster includes Academy Award winner Michael B. Jordan, Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Gemma Chan, and Simu Liu.
The Cho signing follows Lauren London’s recent deal with 1v1 Entertainment for Film/TV management, another Sun-led move that signals the firm’s growing momentum.
Cho was also included in Gold House’s 2026 “100 Asia-Pacific Leaders with the Greatest Cultural Impact in the World” list, reinforcing her standing as one of the industry’s most prominent Asian American talents.
Takeaways
This isn’t a routine signing, it’s a strategic one. Arden Cho is arriving at 1v1 Entertainment at the peak of her cultural moment. An Oscar-winning animated franchise, a Forbes 100 list, a Gold House recognition, and an upcoming thriller already generating buzz, that’s the resume of someone building an A-list trajectory, not just riding one credit.
Phillip Sun has a clear pattern: he builds around multicultural talent with global crossover appeal, and Arden Cho fits that blueprint exactly.
Her loyal fanbase, built across Teen Wolf, Avatar, and now KPop Demon Hunters, spans multiple generations and global markets, particularly in Asia, which is exactly the kind of commercial and cultural capital 1v1 Entertainment was built to maximize.
With KPop Demon Hunters already making history, could a sequel or expanded franchise be on the table, and would 1v1 Entertainment help broker that deal? Does Phillip Sun signing both Arden Cho and Lauren London in close succession signal that 1v1 Entertainment is moving to build out a serious Film/TV roster?
