These actors appear to be gaining prominence as a result of new supporting roles.

Each main and supporting character in a Korean film serves a particular function and has a different role.

There are several life-changing roles that many Korean stars recall.

In which case, there are performers who are well-known and appreciated for their supporting roles, but when they play the lead, they fall flat.

Kim Min Kyu

Kim Min Kyu has been an actor for 9 years and has played a variety of parts in both lead and supporting roles.

Kim Min Kyu formerly played the male lead in the television series "Queen: Love And War," but he did not get the desired success.

Meanwhile, the actor's supporting roles in "Snowdrop," "Backstreet Rookie," and "A Business Proposal" generated a lot of attention.

Lee Soo Hyuk

Artistic activities have been active for a long time, but in Lee Soo Hyuk's playing career, the actor has played more supporting roles than lead roles.

And Lee Soo Hyuk's great supporting parts in films like "Tomorrow," "Sholar Who Walks The Night," and "Doom At Your Service" created a bigger effect than his lesser-known main roles.

Woo Do Hwan

Woo Do Hwan formerly played the lead in the series "The Great Seducer," which featured an all-star cast, but it did not fare well, and the film received mixed reviews.

Meanwhile, in shows such as "Save Me" or "The King: Eternal Monarch," the actor playing a supporting role is receiving a lot more attention.

Wi Ha Joon

At the moment, when many viewers think of Wi Ha Joon, they immediately think of the amazing series "Squid Game," in which the actor appears.

Previously, Wi Ha Jun had appeared in "Romance Is A Bonus Book" and "18 Again" as a supporting actor.

Wi Ha Joon was offered the lead part in "Bad And Crazy" after establishing a reputation in supporting roles, however the series was not as well received as predicted.

Yoo In Na

Yoo In Na, dubbed the "National Supporting Woman," consistently achieves success and shines in supporting roles.

Among them are hit shows like as "Goblin" and "Snowdrop," all of which feature Yoo In Na.

With her stunning appearance and solid acting talent, the actress consistently develops her own charm and is never overshadowed, even while playing a supporting role.

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
