Kim Hyun Joong is a South Korean singer and actor. Born on June 6, 1986, Kim Hyun Joong is one of the lead singers and leading rappers for SS501. He made his acting debut in 2005 and starred as Yoon Ji Hoo in the 2009 hit television drama “Boys Over Flowers,” starring alongside Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon that propelled him to a household name. Kim Hyun Joong is a triple threat; he sings, dances, and plays multiple instruments and acting. Let’s call him a quadruple threat. I forgot to mention that he also wrote most of his music for his solo career.

He also has starred in a fan favorite, “Playful Kiss” (2010), for which he won the Popularity Award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards and “Inspiring Generation” (2014). Kim Hyun Joong was my favorite in boys over flowers. I was actually rooting for him to get the girl. Although we haven’t seen him acting on the small screen, you can still catch him performing in concert or video. I hope to see him on the small screen again as he is an outstanding actor in addition to being a brilliant musician.

Ji Sung

Ji Sung is a famous South Korean actor. Born on February 27, 1977, as Kwak Tae Geun, he adopted Choi Ji Sung’s stage name early in his acting career but later dropped the Choi and went with Ji Sung. He made his acting debut in the 1999 drama series “KAIST,” but his role opposite Lee Byung Hun in 2003’s “All In” made Ji Sung a Hella star and a household name. In 2013, Ji Sung married famous actress Lee Bo Young, Making them one of the powerhouse celebrity couples in Korean entertainment.

Ji Sung has had many leading roles in films and television dramas, including the Ron-com”Protect the Boss” (2011). Secret”(2013), Kill Me, Heal Me (2015) was the first K drama I watched of Ji Sung. He played six different personalities flawlessly. That was the beginning of my obsession with Ji sung. I actively check Vicki, Youtube, and upcoming Kdrama for his next drama. He never disappoints me. I consider his show adult television, or should I say grown woman tv shows. (LOL )The Entertainer (2016), “Defendant” (2017), and “Familiar Wife” (2018). Doctor John (2019) Devil Judge (2021), Just to name a few of his highest-rated series.

Yeo Jin Goo is an award-winning South Korean actor who starred in many popular dramas and films as a child actor. Born on August 13, 1997, he began his career in the hit films “Sad Movie” (2005). I cried so much watching Sad movies and fell in love with the child star; he brings out so much emotion with his acting ability at such a young age.
The following popular dramas were “Giant” (2011), “A Tree With Deep Roots” (2011), “The Moon Embracing the Sun” (2012). In the Moon Embracing the Sun, the child stars draw you. In my opinion, Yeo Jin Goo, Kim Yu Jeong, and KIM SO HYUN laid the foundation for the older actors to carry the series.
Again, the trio worked together in “ I Miss You” (2012), providing another outstanding performance. This young man has an unnatural acting ability that pulls you in for the emotional rollercoaster. I cannot wait until his next show is aired. I have watched him grow up on television with a smile that lights up every scene. As Yeo Jin Goo transitions from a child star into an adult actor, the quality of his work has only improved. Check out some of his most recent hits.
