The crossover of K-pop idols into the acting sphere is a well-established trend, showcasing the versatile talents of numerous performers who excel both on stage and on screen. Esteemed idols such as Cha Eunwoo of ASTRO, Lee Junho of 2PM, and Sejeong from I.O.I have seamlessly balanced their musical careers while delivering compelling performances as actors.
On the flip side, there exists a number of idols whose acting capabilities remain untapped, yet they hold great potential as perceived by their fans. These individuals have sparked interest and anticipation among audiences who are eager to see them transcend their musical personas and take on acting roles. Join us as we delve into the profiles of these promising idols, exploring the potential they hold for making a mark in the acting world.
Some music videos require acting, and Sunghoon definitely made the 'Dark Blood concept trailer' his acting debut. Fans were amazed seeing how the acting came naturally to him in the video, making them emotionally invested!
Before he became NCT's favorite maknae, he was a child actor, and fans want to see him on the screen again!
These two shined so well in the KBS2 drama, "Imitation," and fans are hoping for them to continue their acting! Although the drama was their first, they acted so well that you wouldn't even know that it was their first time!
P1Harmony Intak
If you didn't know -- P1Harmony debuted with a film. Yes, a whole film with cameos from popular actors such as Jung Haein and Jung Yunghwa, all from FNC Entertainment. Fans were praising at Intak's good acting in the film, and since FNC has a history of having idols-turned-actors, it wouldn't be impossible.
She has acted in a few ads, and fans are absolutely in love with them -- wanting to see more of her on the screen!
DK has acted in a musical -- and absolutely aced it! Wonwoo on the other hand, has no experience but fans feel that he might have a talent for being an actor! Imagine Wonwoo playing the second-lead (ouch!) while DK plays his annoying, loud best friend.
Although these two have not expressed a desire to act, fans suggest they will act when they're back in 2025! Fans especially want to see Suga play a villain role! He'll certainly ace that, don't you think? Before rising to stardom as a cherished member of BTS and establishing himself as an exceptional singer, Jin had a background in theater and acting. He honed his craft and pursued his passion for performance by studying acting at Konkuk University, showcasing his dedication to the arts.
ZEROBASEONE Sung Hanbin
With himself recently showing interest in acting, he definitely has the potential to be the next big idol actor. Similar to Cha Eunwoo, Hanbin just has the typical kind-hearted good-guy K-Drama male lead face. He's such an ace at everything he does; he'll definitely be a great actor too!
Fans love just how expressive she can be! And so, with that expressive face and her always nailing complex emotions whenever she's asked to act, there's no doubt she'll be a great actress!
Forget K-Dramas. Fans are already envisioning for Giselle to dip her toes in Hollywood. Even the idea itself is making fans excited because they know just how good she will be!

Personally, I would like to see LSF Kazuha act. I think she'll do really well in the film industry and I do believe that she'll go into acting once her Korean becomes proficient.

She has that actress vibe and is very good at facial expressions. And, because she looks Korean, she can also play Korean roles rather than the typical foreigner characters — which gives her a huge advantage over other non-Koreans right off the bat.
