Which K-Pop idols could make up the cast of 'Mean Girls'?

2PM, Taecyeon, 2NE1, CL , Girl

Just a few days ago, people celebrated the tenth - yes, the TENTH�(my how fast time flies by) - anniversary of teen movie classic, 'Mean Girls'. The movie was written by the ever humorous Tina Fey, who also starred in it.


This iconoclastic film has a ton of famous movie lines that people love to use and plaster all over trendy fashion tees, so we decided to likewise celebrate this milestone by thinking about which K-Pop idols could possibly take on these fabulous roles if there were to be a Korean version (of course, please, no, that would probably be a bad idea, but this exercise is just for fun!).


Check out our choices below and then let us know where we went wrong or where we went right. ;)

BoA as Cady


BoA began her career as a sweet innocent girl and gradually matured into the beautiful and confident woman we know today. �This is why she would play Cady well - she has that girl-next-door, almost shy vibe that Cady has in the beginning of the film, but she could also become the more confident version of Cady that takes place later on in the film because she has her own tough confidence. �BoA also enjoyed much success in Japan and as how Cady came from Africa, BoA can probably relate to a degree that sense of adjustment to another country.

G.NA as Regina



G.NA fits the bill pretty well, actually, because she has the looks and the body to play the most popular girl in school. �She could well portray Regina's sweet exterior while also turning catty for Regina's true interior. �Plus, come on, the blonde hair and pose say it all!


Jessica as Gretchen


Jessica is always a good option for ditzy roles not because she's ditzy herself but because she played it so well for musical, 'Legally Blonde.' �She just has to make sure to tone down the Ice Queen image she has and just turn into the sweet Jessica plus the somewhat oblivious Ellen Woods to play Gretchen. �How fetch!


Minah as Karen



Minah could play the very clueless and ditzy character, again, not because she is clueless and ditzy herself, of course. �But she has that sweet and innocent appearance that she could use with thoughtless lines like the one above to play the character well.�

CL as Janis


Janis is the toughest character in the movie, so a list of the toughest female idols was compiled, but CL hands down seemed to be the best nominee. �Have her hair back to black, maybe tone down her fierce level of intensity and swag, turn her more goth than hip hop, and she would fit Janis just the best out of the other options, really.

Shindong as Damian



Shindong would be a good Damian because he can be funny and a bit flamboyant when he wants to be. �The other choice was Jo Kwon, but he might be a bit much. The more subtle option would be Shindong as Damian is not too�out there in the hyper department - just funny enough.


Taecyeon as Aaron



Aaron is really the typical good-looking, preppy, jock guy in high school with chiseled features and a handsome face. �So automatically, Taecyeon came to mind. �He has the height and built of a popular jock as well as the handsome features that would win over any gal.


Ha Ji Won as Ms. Norbury


Okay, Ha Ji Won is not an idol, but Ms. Norbury (Tina Fey) just had to be included. �Ha Ji Won would be a good choice for this because, well, she's a great actress and could play anything from funny to serious roles. �Ms. Norbuy is a mix of subtle humor and straight-edged personality, which Ha Ji Won could probably pull off nicely while being a charismatic teacher.
