6 of your favorite K-drama lead actors and where to catch them next
Omo! Omo! Omo! Your favorite Korean leading men are back in these much anticipated K-Dramas and movies. Prepare your finger hearts for the oppa onslaught.
1. Gong Yoo
After the back-to-back-to-back blockbuster success of "Train to Busan," "Goblin," and his "Make A Wish" fan-meet tour, Gong Yoo pretty much stayed out of the spotlight. So for those who’ve been living on reruns, here’s some good news: According to Soompi and numerous other media outlets, he’s set to star as the husband of Busan costar Jung Yu Mi in an upcoming movie based on the novel Kim Ji Young, "Born 1982."
2. Park Bo Gum
Aside from Joong Ki and poreless skin, what do Park Bo Gum and Song Hye-Kyo have in common? They’re both starting in the latest drama "Encounter."
Filmed in part on location in Cuba, the story centers around how a Roman Holiday-like chance encounter between two very different people from two very different worlds changes their lives. And it looks like the drama is already a soaring success. According to Korean news outlets, the pilot episode scored record ratings!
3. Park Seo Joon
Korea’s reigning romcom prince is switching gears in his next project. The "What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?" actor is currently working on the supernatural action/thriller "The Divine Fury" with his "Midnight Runners" director. In the movie, Park Seo Joon plays an MMA champion who teams up with a priest to fight evil outside the caged ring by performing exorcisms. The movie is slated for release in 2019.
In the meantime, you can watch PSJ’s latest Domino’s ad with "The Return of Superman’s Park Naeun."
4. Hyun Bin
After three years of being away from television, Hyun Bin is back in TVN’s "Memories of the Alhambra."
He plays Yoo Jin Woo, a CEO investor who travels to Spain to track down the developer of a cutting-edge AR game. There he meets Jeong Hee Joo, a down-on-her-luck hostel owner played by Park Shin Hye. The series is available for streaming on Netflix, and airs weekly just one hour after its Korean broadcast.
5. Lee Dong Wook
If you were a fan of the Lee Dong Work and Yoo In Na’s chemistry in "Goblin," you’ll be happy to hear that the two are set to reunite in the upcoming romantic comedy "Touch Your Heart" from TVN. Lee Dong Wook will play a fastidious lawyer while Yoo In Na will play an actress who goes undercover as his secretary to escape a scandal.
We can’t wait to see these two together again! Check out their chemistry below.
6. Lee Jong Suk
You can currently catch Lee Jong Suk in The Hymn of Death, a period drama that tells the tragic story of Korean soprano Yun Shim Deok. Next year he’ll be starring in something a little more lighthearted, his first ever romantic comedy "Romance is a Supplement." Cast alongside Lee Jong Suk is Lee Na Young, who will be returning to television after nine years. Reports claim it will be LJS’ last drama before doing his two-year mandatory military service.
