  1. 8 Korean actors who found the perfect role and became household names in 2020

    2020 has been an incredible year for Korean dramas, especially with Netflix venturing more into originals, and bringing on older dramas onto the platform, effectively expanding the horizon for international viewers of K-Dramas. Some of these actors have had numerous roles but were still relatively obscure to the general public. Here are 8 Korean actors who found the perfect role and became household names in 2020.

    Woo Do Hwan

    The certified scene-stealer playing the titular dual roles of Jo Yeong and Eun Sup in ‘The King: Eternal Monarch’ was truly a cultural reset. ‘The King: Eternal Monarch’ received incredible adoration overseas and a majority of it was owed to Woo Do Hwan’s brilliant acting and his dynamic (read: bromance) with Lee Gon. He was already widely popular in South Korea for his varied roles in dramas and films alike, but his fan base extended on a global scale after ‘The King: Eternal Monarch.’

    @bri, he needs to delete it to avoid warning from the Military National Defense. This isn't allowed when you're on MS even if you're on vacation leave. Military restricts soldiers access to the public especially via SNS unless related to military events.  :blush:

     

    Thank you @willenette I hope he doesn't' have problems with the first post.

     

    His ring got a lot of attention! :cutekitty:

    .... Despite being classified as the worst drama series, the Eternal King still gives the cast a certain reputation, especially the male supporting actor Woo Do Hwan. :wub:

    The thread has been shrinked because of violations of the following rule :

    1. Do not spam. Posts must be longer than 20 characters. A single post with just one photo is considered spam - you must still meet the 20 character rule.

     

    Thank you for informing. I misunderstood the rule about one picture and I believed that more pictures were ok. I'll be more careful.

    Woo Do-hwan received the Regiment Commander's commendation and deployed in squad of 'Bad Forces' Unit like EXO Do Kyung Soo.

     

    [OSEN Reporter Sujeong Ha] Woo Do-hwan, who enlisted in last July, will be assigned to the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division, aka the 'Fierce Tiger Division'.

    As a result of the OSEN interview on the 19th, Woo Do-hwan completed his education as a student captain at the 1st Transport Education Regiment, received a commendation from the regiment leader, and was decided to be a member of the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division.

    Earlier, Woo Do-hwan completed the training for recruits on the 12th, and completed six weeks of training as a 'company commander's trainer'.

    On the 17th, he completed the second half of his education as a student leader at the 1st Transport Education Regiment, and was awarded the Regiment Leader's Citation. The reason for the commendation was the exemplary attitude and excellent education as the student ledger.

    The Capital Mechanized Infantry Division (Sugi Division) was founded in June 1949 and participated in the Korean War and Vietnam War. It is the first division equipped with a mechanized organization in the ROK Army, and uses a unit mark with a roaring tiger mark on a green background. It is widely known as the so-called 'Bad Forces'.

    In addition, the Maengho unit is where the group EXO Do Kyung Soo, who enlisted last year, works as a cook, and Woo Do-hwan will serve in the same unit as him.

  7. Woo Do Hwan – ELLE August 2020 Interview

    Extract:

    It was not a planned separation. One week before the scheduled shoot, we received the news of his enlistment. This was what the star wrote in a handwritten letter posted on his SNS (Instagram): “Thank you for looking over and loving me in my 20s.” The ELLE team got even busier over the preparation for the meeting with him. Then, 3 days before his enlistment date, the photo shoot began in the midst of the gathering of his staff, who had been with him for a while in his years in the industry. He was indeed an actor who fit well with the screen, from his bold features to his strong gaze. Actually, this is also the moment when public’s interest is pouring in for him; it was thanks to his portrayal in the drama The King: Eternal Monarch, where his portrayal of two characters enabled him to showcase his playful and cheeky side he never got to show before. This caused people to see him in a totally different light compared to before. Perhaps, it has something to do with the slightly late recognition he received in his acting career for him to approach acting with a more heartfelt sincerity, to the point of him shedding tears whenever his projects came to an end. We were still burning with curiosity, wanting to know about this man, getting choked with tears at the end of the interview after answering question with honesty from his heart. Just before he changed into the final look for the shoot, he left the studio for a while and later returned to stand in front of the camera with a freshly cut hair. It was the last scene....
