You can’t help it, but these K-idols just give off main character vibes. Whether it be second-lead heartbreak or chaebol heir, here are the top 10 K-idols that would totally be in a K-drama.
1. NCT Taeyong
There’s something about Taeyong that screams out mysterious. With his visuals and soft-spoken personality, Taeyong would fit well taking on the role of the transfer student who is out to make a bigger and better change in the classroom. From fighting against bullies and classroom injustices, imagine him in a series like ‘Weak Hero Class 1’ or ‘Study Group.’
2. IU
Small town girl makes it big in the city is basically IU’s own story. She’s already proven herself as an actress, and while she’s done mystery, thrillers, and slice-of-life dramas, she’d be great in a warm, rural K-drama too.
3. ENHYPEN Sunghoon
Sunghoon as a cold, elegant figure skater who slowly melts as he falls in love? He already looks the part and literally has the skills, so this practically writes itself.
4. TWICE Nayeon
Nayeon’s bubbly charm and comedic timing make her perfect for the girl-next-door role who finds herself on a personal quest, only to discover a hidden family secret along the way.
5. Cha Eun Woo
Does he even need an explanation? Cha Eun Woo has already played the romantic lead in multiple dramas, especially those based on webtoons. He’s a natural fit.
6. TWICE Sana
With her bubbly personality, Sana would be perfect as the loyal best friend who ends up with a sweet, unexpected love story of her own.
7. BLACKPINK Jennie
Jennie gives off strong ‘ice queen with a heart of gold’ energy. A drama where she slowly opens up and falls in love would have fans totally hooked.
8. ITZY Ryujin
Ryujin has the perfect vibe for a tough, no-nonsense lead in a dystopian thriller. She’s got that ‘I don’t need saving’ energy written all over her.
9. TXT Beomgyu
Beomgyu might play the wild class clown, but those types always have the softest hearts. Picture him trying to impress his crush in the goofiest ways possible.
10. Stray Kids Bang Chan
Bang Chan would nail the role of a warm, selfless guy who’s always looking out for everyone else. A healing, life-affirming drama would suit him perfectly.
