K-dramas have contributed a lot to Hallyu or the rise of Korean pop culture. From unpredictable storylines to highly-budgeted production, you'll definitely find yourself watching one after one. Of course, the reasons will not be complete if we don't mention the actors that bring life to the characters. There is no doubt that K-dramas have everything to keep us entertained!
Now if you're a K-drama and K-pop fan at the same time, you're probably wishing for your favorite idols to also star in a Korean series. Even just a short cameo will add five years to your life span. Your feelings are totally valid and we understand you because we also want to see them as actors! K-pop idols are known for their versatility and the majority of them are multitalented—there is no doubt that they can also conquer the K-drama world.
Here are 12 male K-pop idols we would love to see in K-dramas:
1. BTS' Jin
Let's start the list with no other than Mr. Worldwide Handsome himself, BTS' Jin. Just by looking at him, we can already think of many reasons why fans want to see him in K-dramas. He has this male lead ~aura~ that can make us all kilig. Not to mention that his visual is pure *perfection*! The eldest member of BTS also graduated with an acting degree. With the level of passion that Jin has, he can certainly deliver whatever role that will be given to him. Just imagine a historical drama with Jin wearing a hanbok—WOW!
2. TXT Soobin
TXT's leader is surely another idol we would want to see in a K-drama. If you're a fan of the K-pop group, you have probably seen Soobin act a little in their comeback trailer for "The Dream Chapter: Eternity." Personally, I immediately felt the emotions when I watched it for the first time and just by that, I wish to see more of his acting skills. We have already seen him as a leader of his team, as a music show host, and as an adorable person who can light up the world. With all the charms that he has, there is no wonder that actor Soobin will make more people fall in love with him.
3. Stray Kids' Felix
Whether you're a STAY (Stray Kids' fandom name) or not, you'll agree that we need to see Felix as a K-drama actor. Just with his vibes, we can already visualize how he would look if the universe permits us to see him act. And with his beautiful deep voice? *SCREAMS.* We're not just the ones manifesting this because renowned film director, Baz Luhrmann, also expressed his interest to see Felix as an actor!
4. SEVENTEEN's DK
Aside from being a talented member of SEVENTEEN, DK proved his acting skills since he debuted as a musical actor in XCalibur. His performance was so stellar that fans can't get over the quality of the show and the character that he delivered. Now, what if he puts this talent in K-dramas? It's already guaranteed that he will give us a brilliant portrayal of the role assigned to him!
5. ENHYPEN's Jay
While making the list for this story, Jay is one of the male idols who came to my mind in an instant. As part of ENHYPEN, he already showcased his many skills and what's more interesting about him is his character. Jay is very passionate about his craft so he can definitely become a great actor someday. Who knows? With the kind of personality that he has, we might see Jay lead the next F4 K-drama!
6. B.I
How do we describe B.I? An amazing singer, a skilled rapper, and a well-known music producer—and did you know that he's also leading his own entertainment label? Now, we can't wait to add "actor" to his growing portfolio! He is such an all-rounder that there is no surprise if he appears in a K-drama one day. If you're looking for proof, check out the intro film for his song, "Waterfall."
7. TXT's Hueningkai
TBH, all TXT members have what it takes to become K-drama actors. We already saw Yeonjun in his brief cameo in Live On, and there's no doubt that Beomgyu and Taehyun will also make great actors. Focusing on the group's maknae, Hueningkai has it all, too! This young musical prodigy is born to be a star and he's definitely on the right path. With his talent and versatility, he can perfectly fit different roles. What more if gets the main role in a Netflix Original series?
8. TREASURE's Haruto
The moment you see TREASURE's Haruto, you'll instantly understand why he rightfully belongs to this list. Just with his visuals, the actor energy that he gives is just so irresistible. His sincere gaze can give life to romantic scenes, too. While we saw TREASURE act in their web series, it would still be a huge treat if Haruto becomes a K-drama cast member! He has a huge potential and a bright future in acting might also open for him.
9. SEVENTEEN's Mingyu
Every time I see Mingyu, I always imagine him in a K-drama. For sure, a lot of people will agree with this. He has this actor image that is perfect for the main character. His photos consistently looked like he came straight out of a K-drama scene. May it be a Crown Prince role or a leading man with a chaebol background, actor Mingyu is something that we need to see in this life!
10. TEMPEST's Eunchan
You know the feeling when you see a photo of a K-pop idol and immediately realize that he has actor vibes? That's TEMPEST's Eunchan for me! NGL, when I saw his concept pics, he looked like someone who's acting for a while already. Upon watching some videos of him, the idea of Eunchan becoming an actor just strengthened. He can easily pull off a male lead role in a school-themed drama! Let's all come back here when that happens in the future. *winks*
11. ENHYPEN's Sunoo
Another one from ENHYPEN is the group's sunshine, Sunoo. He once mentioned that ever since he was young, he already wanted to be an actor. His passion for acting is evident in his performance in the group. Sunoo is someone who always tries his best to make sure that he will do great and this trait is very important when it comes to acting. We are rooting for you, Sunoo!
12. DRIPPIN's Junho
Junho is on this list for many reasons! If perfection is a person, it would be him. His visual is just so beautiful and we all want to see him act in a Korean series. With his vibes, he can fit into different roles—may it be a green flag lead character, an heir to a conglomerate, a historical drama prince, and a lot more!
