BMO, the beloved sentient video game console from Adventure Time, speaks with a Korean accent.
The Voice Behind BMO's Accent
The distinct Korean accent heard in BMO's voice is a direct result of the natural speaking voice of their voice actor, Niki Yang. Initially, there were plans for BMO's voice to resemble a computer-synthesized sound. However, a suggestion from creator Pendleton Ward led to a change in direction, ultimately incorporating Niki Yang's natural voice, with some minor adjustments, for the character.
Niki Yang is a talented voice actor who also lends her voice to another prominent character in Adventure Time, Lady Rainicorn, who primarily speaks Korean. This choice to utilize Yang's natural voice contributed significantly to BMO's unique and memorable persona within the series.
Here's a quick overview:
