• 8 Korean Actors Who Have Successfully Played Both Heroes and Villains

    Despite their slightly "fierce" appearance, these performers manage to grab the hearts of viewers in their own unique way.

    Besides the actors with a gentle appearance and a sunny smile, there are also "bad boys" with a somewhat "gypsy" face, specializing in playing the roles of gangsters or delinquent geniuses. Just a cold look or smile is enough to make the audience go crazy.

    Lee Joon Gi

    Since his performance in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo", he has grown in popularity. His piercing eyes and rich voice add to his allure. He recently won over viewers as a converted murderer in "Flower of Evil".

    "Flower of Evil" is about Hee Sung pretending to be in love as his wife Ji Won begins to suspect her husband's true identity.

    It depicts the tremendous emotional chase between two people who are confronted with the truth they wish to avoid.

    Lee Soo Hyuk

    When he played the villain in "The Scholar Who Walks the Night", he drove fangirls insane. He also did an excellent job as the Grim Reaper in "Tomorrow".

    "Tomorrow" is a drama about jobseeker, Choi Jun Woong, who fell into a coma and ended up as a member of the Special Crisis Management Team of the underworld.

    Kim Jae Wook

    Kim Jae Wook, who made many people sleepless in "Voice 1", is regarded as one of the performers who played the best villain.

    Despite the fact that he has shifted to melodramatic roles, Kim Jae Wook keeps his chilly and seductive charisma.

    Jang Hyuk

    Jang Hyuk is an actor who frequently appears in action dramas. His voice and acting abilities are very remarkable.

    Joo Ji Hoon

    When playing the role of a crown prince in the hit Kingdom, Joo Ji Hoon developed a ferocious demeanor. In the film "Dark Figure of Crime", he too played a serial killer.

    Choi Jin Hyuk

    The actor is well-known in the action genre due to his cool appearance. "Tunnel", "Rugal", "Zombie Detective", and "The Last Empress" are a few of his notable works.

    Shin Sung Rok

    Shin Sung Rok is frequently cast as the antagonist because to his intimidating features and keen eyes. Dramas in which he plays villains are also more successful than those in which he plays the lead or in comedy.

    Lee Byung Hun

    Lee Byung Hun is well known for his action dramas "Iris," "Red 2," "Squid Game," and "Mr. Sunshine." Lee Byung Hun is both fierce and endearing!
