Ahn Ji-hwan (Korean: 안지환; born July 24, 1969) is a South Korean voice actor, television presenter, radio presenter, and actor. He joined Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation's voice acting division in 1993 and debuted with his role as Prince Dandarn (known as Prince Omar in South Korea) on the Korean dub of Time Travel Tondekeman.
Since the early 2000s, Ji-hwan has narrated several entertaining shows at Seoul Broadcasting System, including Animal Farm, The Music Trend, and Star King. On June 2012, the voice actor made his stage debut, performing the part of Edna Turnblad in a South Korean musical Hairspray based on a 1988 film under the same title.
Ji-hwan has become famous for his cover of Johnny Depp on the Korean dub of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, for his role as Det. Danny Messer on the Korean dub of CSI: NY, and, even more recently, for his narration of The Knee-Drop Guru on a South Korean talk show Golden Fishery.
