• 8 Korean Actors Who Have Successfully Played Both Heroes and Villains

    Despite their slightly "fierce" appearance, these performers manage to grab the hearts of viewers in their own unique way.

    Besides the actors with a gentle appearance and a sunny smile, there are also "bad boys" with a somewhat "gypsy" face, specializing in playing the roles of gangsters or delinquent geniuses. Just a cold look or smile is enough to make the audience go crazy.

    Lee Joon Gi

    Since his performance in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo", he has grown in popularity. His piercing eyes and rich voice add to his allure. He recently won over viewers as a converted murderer in "Flower of Evil".

    "Flower of Evil" is about Hee Sung pretending to be in love as his wife Ji Won begins to suspect her husband's true identity.

    It depicts the tremendous emotional chase between two people who are confronted with the truth they wish to avoid.

    Lee Soo Hyuk

    When he played the villain in "The Scholar Who Walks the Night", he drove fangirls insane. He also did an excellent job as the Grim Reaper in "Tomorrow".

    "Tomorrow" is a drama about jobseeker, Choi Jun Woong, who fell into a coma and ended up as a member of the Special Crisis Management Team of the underworld.

    Kim Jae Wook

    Kim Jae Wook, who made many people sleepless in "Voice 1", is regarded as one of the performers who played the best villain.

    Despite the fact that he has shifted to melodramatic roles, Kim Jae Wook keeps his chilly and seductive charisma.

    Jang Hyuk

    Jang Hyuk is an actor who frequently appears in action dramas. His voice and acting abilities are very remarkable.

    Joo Ji Hoon

    When playing the role of a crown prince in the hit Kingdom, Joo Ji Hoon developed a ferocious demeanor. In the film "Dark Figure of Crime", he too played a serial killer.

    Choi Jin Hyuk

    Shin Sung Rok

    Shin Sung Rok is frequently cast as the antagonist because to his intimidating features and keen eyes. Dramas in which he plays villains are also more successful than those in which he plays the lead or in comedy.

    Lee Byung Hun

    Lee Byung Hun is well known for his action dramas "Iris," "Red 2," "Squid Game," and "Mr. Sunshine." Lee Byung Hun is both fierce and endearing!

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
