We've already talked about our favorite Korean actors' first major acting gigs, and now, we've decided to list down some of our fave oppas and remember how they looked like then and how they look like now. Our conclusion? Gwapo talaga sila, guys!
Here's how some of our fave oppas looked like in the early days of their careers:
1. Hyun Bin
Hyun Bin's potential was recognized when he played the lead role in the Koreanovela My Lovely Sam Soon as Hyun Jin Heon. Idk about you but this hairstyle gives me so much Dao Ming Si pre-long hair vibes, and the F4 leader is my favorite!
In 2019, our Binnie became Captain Ri, a North Korean soldier in Crash Landing On You and my oh my, he never fails to serve (pun intended, hehe) talaga!
2. Lee Dong Wook
Lee Dong Wook as ~Julian~ in the popular 2005 drama My Girl is already what dream guys are made of.
But when he transformed into a Yi Yeon, a gumiho in Tale Of The Nine-Tailed, he drove us absolutely crazy! Of course, we can't talk about Lee Dong Wook as the Grimreaper from Goblin!
3. Lee Jong Suk
~Fetus~ Lee Jong Suk in Secret Garden had a bad boy charm that we loved. We mean, look at that cute baby face!
Sa totoo lang, it feels like nothing has changed with him as seen in Romance Is A Bonus Book! He just grew up to be even more beautiful. Yes or yes?
4. Park Seo Joon
Six years ago, our ultimate oppa Park Seo Joon was the ultimate cutie!
Now, he looks like the ideal man that we would love to marry! And that's not just because he looks great, we have a long list of why we are totally head over heels for him. *swoons*
5. Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho has always had that masungit look that we find extremely attractive. Remember him as Go Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers? How about as Park Du Hyun in Secret Campus?
And when he became ~The King~ in the most popular Netflix K-drama of 2020, we wished so hard to be Kim Go Eun in another life!!! Good day, your majesty.
6. Nam Joo Hyuk
Crush ng bayan Nam Joo Hyuk was already a stunner with his bewitching looks and height in the 2014 tvN drama, The Idle Mermaid:
In Start-Up, his endearing character, Nam Do San, is also total charmer! Joo Hyuk is also one dreamboat in real life, as seen on his Instagram account.
7. Ji Chang Wook
The heartthrob who consistently makes us smile and kilig has been our fave since 2010 in the TV series, Smile Again!
Now that he's back on the screen as Park Jae Won in Lovestruck In The City, I am 100% sure that I will be sleeping with a smile on my face every.single.night.
