My Most Admired KPop Idols Turned Into Actors

It's amazing that I'm interested watching dramas on Korean TV via KBS World (with English Subtitles) and SBS or online via live stream and English-subtitled replay sites or on Philippine TV via ABS-CBN, TV5 or GMA (Tagalog-dubbed) with Korean idols as cast. So, I list my most admired KPop idols turned into actors. (Well, I didn't include girls on this list!)

MinHo [SHINee]

(Salamander Guru, To The Beautiful You)

This year, the charisma member of SHINee became the handsome high-jump athlete Kang Taejoon in the Korean version of Hana Kimi called To The Beautiful You which is currently airing in SBS. But he also starred in the drama Salamander Guru with other KPop idols.

Siwon [Super Junior]

(Poseidon, Skip Beat)

Super Junior member took the spotlight in the dramas Poseidon as a SWAT officer and Skip Beat as a famous star Dun He Lian. Now, he’s busy doing a new drama to be aired either at the end of the year or next year.

Donghae [Super Junior]

(Skip Beat, Panda and Hedgehog)

Another Super Junior member starred in Skip Beat as Bu Po Shang. This year, he has latest drama called Panda and Hedgehog and it’s currently airing.

This CNBlue frontman showed his acting skill in the dramas You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings with Park Shin Hye. Now, he’s composing songs for his band and rookie artists Juniel and AOA.

Kwanghee [ZE:A]

(To The Beautiful You)

Watch out! The member of ZE:A casted in To The Beautiful You who was jealous and has evil plans for Jaehee (Sulli’s role) to reveal her true identity. The interesting part was he always put some Etude House Shinistar lip balm on his lips.

Siwan [ZE:A]

(Equator Man)

Another ZE:A member played a serious role as teen Jeric Kim (who played by Lee Joon Hyuk) in Equator Man. Now, he’s currently promoting a song with his co-members as a group.

Wooyoung [2PM]

Taecyeon [2PM]

(Dream High)
Like his co-member Wooyoung, he also showed his acting prowess in the drama 'Dream High'. Though his group's comeback postponed due to his another co-member's scandal, he will improve more on his skills, most especially in acting.
