Korean fans and netizens are expressing their disappointment over actor Kang Tae Oh's relative popularity compared to his undeniable talent and handsome visuals.
Recently, one online forum discussion has gained the attention of various online users as one fan pointed out Kang Tae Oh has not gotten the attention he deserves despite his impressive acting skills combined with his handsome looks.
The fan explained, "Leaving aside his handsome face, he can pull off all kinds of roles — pathetic characters, heart-fluttering leads, sweet roles, psychopaths, and villains — but for some reason, he hasn’t blown up. And on top of that, he’s ridiculously good-looking with a great physique."
Other netizens joined the discussion and also expressed their thoughts about actor Kang Tae Oh. Many netizens pointed out Kang Tae Oh's memorable performance in the hit drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' where his portrayal of Lee Jun Ho, left a lasting impact but was a shame that he had to enlist for his mandatory military service right after the drama ended.
They commented:
"He should have ridden the momentum after 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' but it’s a shame he had to enlist in the military."
"He has a sharp look, but he’s actually a considerate and gentle guy."
"His physique is great too, so I’m sure he’ll continue to do well."
"Based on how he treats his parents, you can tell he’s a good-hearted person with a kind soul. I genuinely want to support him."
"Maybe his agency is working honestly without resorting to bribery or lobbying..."
"Seo Kang Joon, Kang Tae Oh, and Lee Joon Hyuk are all handsome, but they lack the kind of charisma or presence that completely captivates people. I’m not saying they need to act all macho, but they seem to be missing that 'it factor'.”
"To be honest, I was totally in love with him while watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo… That’s why I even went back and watched the drama he did with Soo Young, but then he enlisted right after."
"Go watch Kang Tae Oh on SNL — he’s insanely funny and sexy."
"I love Kang Tae Oh. I’ve loved him even before Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
"It’s not just about his acting skills for me. I wish actors like Song Kang, Cha Eun Woo, Kang Tae Oh, and Park Bo Gum would get more lead roles. Lately, it feels so weird that male actors who don’t suit rom-coms at all are getting cast as leads. It’s not even funny anymore."
"He enlisted when he was about to get popular, so what are you even talking about?"
"Kang Tae Oh’s face is like fine wine… It stays consistently handsome without any fluctuations and only gets richer with time. Even if he gets wrinkles, he’ll still be handsome. His acting, physique, and voice are all top-notch, so I feel like he’ll steadily climb higher in his career."
