idols who have acting potential — male edition (^—^)

V

South Korean

group: BTS

you better believe there’s a reason why he’s #1, and guess what: it’s not because I’m an ARMY ...

I firmly believe V is a big part of my theory where idols can act under proper acting lessons and guidance, as a matter of fact I believe he crushes the opinions “idols can’t act“ at all, which I say: check again lmao, his only acting role to date is Suk Han Sung in Hwarang, he impressed everybody and there’s something I need to commend: his natural acting, boi he’s got it ... 

examples he can play multiple roles: 

• crime boss: 0:44 — https://youtu.be/Yu9j6sQ7vU4
  • even though it’s just a reality show, he shows he can portray a serious character, with his eye contact alone, and be intimidating.
• protagonist in a horror / thriller film or kdrama: 2:45–2:55 — https://youtu.be/DE1X6svEGRU
  • this is a clip from a chicken ad lmao, but in less than 10 seconds he made me care about him, and I could genuinely feel he was running away from something, wtf ... 
• fugitive: WINGS, Stigma Short Film #3 — https://youtu.be/3i34dFsjRY4
  • can portray a character suffering mentally and physically 
• a character dying: https://youtu.be/_N1Y9poAPv8
  • this clip is only 2:57 and the boi made me believe he was poisoned ... talk about duality off and on-stage.
• kdrama male lead: BTS Dalbang Dorm — https://youtu.be/kkAPONqncIs
  • his scenes say it all

Jang Mun Ik

South Korean

group: DONGKIZ

if you haven‘t seen the third ep. of ”Youtuber Class” take the time to do so, just one web-drama ep. and boy does he have acting potentiallll, first role of his acting career, and he convinced me he could play an innocent make-up artist, what a guy, look forward to seeing him in more projects!

example:

• high school student: Youtuber Class — https://youtu.be/jO38L__nthM
  • he went, from outgoing-spirited, to intimidating, to sad, then back to outgoing, in just 12:52, let that sink in ...

look forward to seeing future acting roles! :’)

Byun Baek Hyun

South Korean

group: EXO

he hasn’t done much acting since Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, which a lot of people gave him sh— for his acting (not me ...) I think he has a lot of potential in the future to be a ML in drama, I do feel there’s some emotional depth we haven’t seen yet, but I believe he has talent, check out below to find out why >:P

examples of future role options: 

• kdrama ML: SuperM “As We Wish” — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvGhbJOQSjM
  • I could see him playing a sensitive or sweet ML in a kdrama, just give him a proper script, producer, and director and you’ve got all you need! 
• protagonist in a thriller or horror film: EXO, Baekhyun’s path code teaser — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-h0kAl1cbc
  • man I got so much inspo from this one teaser, it’s insane, kind of like Tae’s weird chi ken commercial lol, this one video made me care about him, like what’s he running from? Who’s chasing him you know? He could definitely pull off being a character working at a tattoo parlor or something or being that punk metal guy 

these are just two roles I see him  playing, there’s many more! I look forward this future acting career if he chooses it! 

Kai

South Korean

group: EXO

he’s not on this list because I’m an EXO-L either hehehe

I’m curious on who’s seen his works so far? this guy is going somewhere in ten years with an acting career, I find he can portray emotions incredibly well and like Tae, he has a natural acting ability, something you don’t see everyday, with more practice he could make a career when he retires from EXO :’)

examples of roles he‘s played and can play:

• a god: Miracle We Met — https://youtu.be/dn1avupfzFc
  • his role as Ato really appealed to the emotional side of his acting,it wasn;t cringe fest or forced, for the most part, it felt natural, and this will only improve 
• a farmer / herbalist: SuperM — As We Wish web-drama, https://youtu.be/73bdCdUIGBQ
  • you could really see his natural acting in this one small drama, wow, seriously impressed me how far he’s come 
• a high school / middle school student: Andante— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyNyEFvS3CM
  • oof, he played this role well :’)
• protagonist in a horror / thriller film: clip from Andante — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69fnkVS6M-o
  • he could pull off the genre well imo
• kdrama ML: SuperM — As You Wish, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73bdCdUIGBQ

man, I look forward to seeing future acting roles!

Park Jun Hee

South Korean

group: A.C.E

he hasn’t starred in any major acting roles, but he had a cameo role in “Big Issue,” and that one role proved he might have some natural acting talent! :)

examples of roles he could play:

• kdrama ML’s friend or the ML: I could see it happening, maybe with some more acting lessons, if any company thought he needed it, could happen!
• a mafia boss / mob boss: “Big Issue“ — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T0xSk2MHh8
• kpop star: ^ and he already is one lol, the clip above proves he can play that in the first two seconds lol 

his future looks bright! :’)

Cha Eun Woo

South Korean

group: ASTRO

he’s already in the acting business but I don’t think people take him seriously enough as an actor, probably because he’s taking on the roles of high school students lol, which I hope he breaks out of, I really want to see him in more mature roles, instead roles in rom-coms, like some thrillers or mystery series! >:)

track record so far:

• true beauty
• rookie historian goo hae ryung 
• soul plate
• my ID is gangnam beauty  
• top management 
• sweet revenge
•  hit the top
• my romantic some recipe
• to be continued 

genres I want to see him in:

• thriller 
• fantasy
• mystery 
• horror
• more historicals / saeguk  
  • as for characters probably the protagonis, maybe second ML, but mature characters that aren’t in high school or college still, like maybe a rich CEO (lmao the trope) the son of a rich CEO, a florist, a carpenter, I feel he’d fit these roles perfectly!
