Rare instances in which idol actors smoked on screen for a role

AKP STAFF

From martial arts to horse riding, dancing and singing, there are various things actors must learn for the films they are cast in. At times actors have to even smoke cigarettes for the characters' image despite not smoking in real life.

This goes for actors who are also K-pop idols. These days, K-Pop idols are multi-talented entertainers as they show exceptional skill acting on top of their amazing singing and dancing. These idol actors shed their K-Pop image on the screen and perfectly take on the image of the character by even learning to smoke.

So here are some of the K-pop idol actors who are shown smoking on screen.

1. EXO's D.O.

D.O. played a role of a delinquent in the film 'Room No.7.' In the film, D.O is seen smoking cigarettes in multiple instances to deepen delinquent the image of Tae Jung, who is a part-timer who works at a DVD room store where a corpse is found.

2. IU

The story unfolds as the teenage runaways try to scam money from a middle-aged man, but one of them ends up being kidnapped.

4. Suzy
