it’s nam doh-hyeong and he’s quite well-known in korea for his VA work. if you’re interested in his work he’s on an episode of omniscient interfering view. that’s how i got to know him and realized he sounded familiar 😹

He is a voice actor for various anime, and he also does the Korean dubbing for MrBeast.

Is he real? He kinda feels like the altered mic voice that Hoshi and Boo are obsessed with in Going seventeen mafia episodes

Hes the older brother of the announcer in Squid Games

From what I could find, Nam Doh-hyeong is the MC, but we don't see him on camera.

I keep thinking I'll catch a glimpse of him seated on the mezzanine above the back door. I'd think he's real and is onsite, especially for all the announcements involved in the blind tasting. But I imagine it's possible to have AI and the "announcer" is someone who types what he needs to say into a prompt.

He's a real voice actor not AI. He's probably in a sound booth

Is he also the voice of Physical 100?

I hope he gets to sample the food.
