Hyun-wook caught your eye in critically-acclaimed K-dramas “Taxi Driver” and “Racket Boys,” then rejoice! Your boy is winning hearts for his charming role in the K-drama “Twenty-Five Twenty-One.” Known in the series as Moon Ji-woong “the pretty boy of class 7,” Choi Hyun-wook definitely lives up to the role as he’s not only handsome, he shows off an enviable confidence not usually found in high school boys. Watch him become the scene-stealer in this drama. The actor was born on January 30, 2002 in Incheon, South Korea, and is currently studying at Hanlim Arts High School. The actor debuted in the web series “Real:Time:Love” before landing his breakout role on “Racket Boys.” He is currently managed by Gold Medalist, the same entertainment agency that handles the career of A-listers like Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji.

His acting skills were indeed splendid as he gained positive responses from his roles as Kwak Ki-tae in Netflix’s “Extracurricular” and as Lee Hyun in KBS2’s “The King’s Affection.” In fact, his performance on the Netflix series earned him a nomination for Best New Actor (Television) at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards. He was born on July 14, 1997 and started out as a model in 2014. It was only in 2018 when he made his acting debut through the drama “4 Kinds of House.” He also had supporting roles in K-dramas “Birthcare Center” and “Beyond Evil.” In case you’re missing him, he was recently confirmed to star in the new Kakao TV drama “Borrowed Body,” a webtoon-based fantasy mystery school romance about two completely opposite students who switch bodies. For more updates about the actor, check out his Instagram @nam_yoonsu which has over one million followers already.<cite>@nam_yoonsu</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@nam_yoonsu</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@kimjanghwan via @nam_yoonsu</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>The Star</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@kimjanghwan via @nam_yoonsu</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Lomon/Park Solomon (“All of Us Are Dead”) - Watching “All of Us Are Dead” will send your heart on overdrive not only because of the terrifying zombies but because of Lomon, the actor who plays Lee Su-Hyeok on Netflix’s hit high school zombie thriller. Born on November 11, 1999 in Uzbekistan, Lomon or Park Solomon attracted the attention of the viewers with his gentle, soulful eyes and shy “high school crush” aura. The handsome actor spent his childhood in Russia but moved to South Korea to complete his elementary and secondary studies. His father named him after the Biblical character King Solomon in hopes that he will live wisely. In 2014, Lomon made his acting debut with dramas “Bride of the Century” and “4 Legendary Witches” and landed a lead role in 2017 with web series “Sweet Revenge.” Because he exploded in popularity with the Netflix zombie series, his Instagram account @lomon991111 gained two million followers in less than a week and now his followers are over five million. The actor was reportedly cast as the male lead for the Disney+ series “Third Person Revenge” co-starring Shin Ye-eun.<cite>@bigsmile_ent</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@bigsmile_ent</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>cine21.com</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@bigsmile_ent</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@bigsmile_ent</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kim Min-Kyu (“Snowdrop,” “Business Proposal”) - Kim Min-kyu might be a familiar face to some K-drama fans because of his appearances on dramas like “Queen: Love and War,” “Backstreet Rookie,” and “So I Married the Anti-fan.” But his turn as a military officer who becomes a North Korean agent in the recently concluded drama “Snowdrop” has been really memorable. The handsome 94-liner actor is booked and busy as he joined the cast of the SBS office romance drama “Business Proposal” co-starring Ahn Hyo Seop, Kim Sejeong, and Seol In-ah. The charismatic actor makes a 180-degree turn from a cold-hearted agent into a bubbly and adorable secretary of a CEO.

He first became Korea’s sweetheart when he finished first place on the popular reality talent show “Produce X 101” and debuted as a member of boy group X1. Born on September 22, 1999, Kim Yo-han is dedicated to balancing his roles as an actor and as an idol as he is also a member of K-pop group WEi. He also debuted in acting through the Korean remake of the hit Chinese youth drama “A Love So Beautiful.” Kim Yo-han starred in the eighth installment of KBS2’s “School” franchise with “School 2021” for which he won the Best New Actor award at the 2021 KBS Drama Awards as well as the Best Couple award with Cho Yi-hyun for the same series.

As Lee Cheong-san on the show, he won the hearts of fans as a selfless character who would choose to sacrifice for the welfare of others. Born on April 25, 2001, the actor began acting in 2013 as a child appearing on dramas “When a Man Falls in Love” and “Monstar.” The following year, Yoon Chan-young debuted with films “The Legacy,” “Mourning Grave,” and “Manhole.” The young actor then followed it up with minor roles in dramas like “Splendid Politics,” “Six Flying Dragons,” and “Bubble Gum.” He skyrocketed to fame after starring in “All of Us Are Dead” with his Instagram followers (IG: @yooncy1) shooting up to over four million. In an interview with “Dazed” magazine, he shared that he hopes to do a romance project, saying, “To be honest, I’d like to do a love story, which I haven’t been able to fully do yet.” The actor added that he thinks the power of love is immense. “I don’t know if this is a foolish thought, but I’ve even had the thought: isn’t the whole purpose of living to love? I want to try doing a true love story next.”<cite>@coach via @yooncy1</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@coach via @yooncy1</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Netflix</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@snowballentertainment</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Elle Korea</cite></div></div></div></div></div><div><br/></div><p>Who is your newest crush in K-dramaland?</p><div><br/></div><p>Lead photos from <strong>@happytribe_ent @goldmedalist_official @bigsmile_ent</strong></p><div><br/></div>
