When we search for new K-dramas to watch, we usually get lured in because of the cast. If we end up liking a certain actor because of drama, we tend to look for their other shows to binge-watch. (Of course, we love following well-written storylines and seeing stunning filming locations, too!)
Are you obsessed with a certain actor or actress? Do you consider yourself a huge fan of theirs? Then you should probably start calling yourself by their official fan club names!
Here's a guide to the fan club names of our favorite Korean actors:
Song Joong Ki
