- KimuTaku - 90s jpop idol from SMAP is still the best example of idol turned actor. Until now he is slaying it.
- Yoon Kyesang - G. O. D
- Seo Hyunjin - M. I. L. K
- Eric moon - Shinhwa
- Jung Ryeowon - Chakra
Though for those from the newer generation:
- Seo InGuk - reality show personality, soloist
- Lee JunHo - 2pm
- Im Siwan - ZEA
- IU - soloist
- Lee Seunggi - soloist
- DO - exo
- Lee Junyoung - Ukiss
- Park Hyungshik - ZEA
- Lee Joon - Mblaq
- Kim Dongjoon - has shown such mark improvement in his last 2 dramas. So proud of him...!
Though the reason i probably am impressed by them, is when idol actors start their acting career im small roles. Then slowly gain experience, harnessing it and learning from seniors and going to actibg classes, before even trying accepting big roles. I have very bad reactions when idol actors accept main roles in primetime dramas.
