It is not a simple task to turn one’s desire to be a K-pop idol into a reality. It requires a lot of hard work in a relatively short amount of time. Even after they have finished training and made their debut, they still have to give it their all if they want to do well in their profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These idols are mentally robust people who can handle the challenges they face. They are encouraged to look into other areas of interest rather than give up entirely. Some of them host music programmes or variety shows; others compose music or make albums; and still others are working on developing their acting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lineups of the K-pop groups that are listed below all feature members who have also dabbled in other disciplines, including acting. They have demonstrated their amazing talents by acting in a wide variety of roles in different types of dramas and films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Girl’s Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Girl’s Day is a girl group that was created in the year 2010 by Dream T Entertainment. At the beginning, the band was comprised of five individuals: Sojin, Minah, Jiin, Jisun, and Jihae. Hyeri and Yura joined the group not long after their debut, taking the places of Jiin, Jisun, and Jihae, who had left the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They did not issue a statement of disbandment; nonetheless, they did not renew their contract with Dream T Entertainment and instead joined a variety of new agencies in January of 2019. At this point, it looks like the four are putting their efforts into their own acting careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have several acting ventures lined up for the year 2022. Moonshine, the drama series in which Hyeri appeared, came to an end in February. Sojin was the main star of the dramas Shooting Stars and Alchemy of Souls, as well as the movie When Spring Comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yura was a cast member in the dramatic productions Now, We Are Breaking Up and Forecasting Love and Weather. During that time, Minah starred in the fantasy drama Delivery Man alongside Yoon Chan Young and Kim Min Seok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. SNSD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Only Taeyeon, Sunny, and Hyoyeon did not branch out into the world of acting during their time as members of SNSD. They have only made brief appearances in a handful of different dramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the remaining five members are making more and more appearances in various films and television shows. They are all working on acting projects that will premiere in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the drama “The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate,” in which Song Joong Ki is starring, Tiffany will also play a role. In the drama “Good Job,” Yuri and Jung Il Woo appeared together again. In the continuing drama “If You Wish Upon Me,” Sooyoung looked really stunning in her role as a bubbly nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoona, a visual, is currently all anybody can speak about as a result of her performance in the drama Big Mouth, in which she plays the role of a strong nurse who devotedly supports her husband. In addition to that, she has a role in the upcoming film Confidential Assignment 2: International, which is set to hit theatres on September 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maknae of the group, Seohyun, is just as productive as the rest of the members. She has had starring roles in the films Love and Leashes and Holy Night: Demon Hunters, as well as the dramas Jinxed at First and Song of the Bandits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AOA made their debut with eight members to begin with. However, for a variety of reasons, members of the group started leaving one by one, until there were now only three of them left: Seolhyun, Chanmi, and Hyejeong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seolhyun is the member of the group who most frequently takes on the role of the drama’s protagonist. Awaken (2020-2021), The Killer’s Shopping List, and Call it in Orange Marmalade, both came out in 2015, while 2019 saw the release of My Country: The New Age (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both “A Different Girl” (2021) and “Refresh” starred Chanmi as a character she played (2022). In the movie “From Today’s Choir,” Hyejeong eventually ends up working as a substitute teacher (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. EXO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Exo Next Door is the name of a web series that premiered in 2015 and starred each individual member of EXO. However, Chanyeol, D.O., Sehun, and Baekhyun were the only members of the cast to be cast in main roles. while the rest of them had supporting roles in the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, each of them is working on their own separate acting projects. Xiumin appeared in both the comedy Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River (2016) and the tragicomedy Falling for Challenge (2016). Suho has portrayed the main character in a total of three different movies and three different dramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No More Bets and Unexpected Love, two brand-new movies starring Lay, are about to hit theatres very soon. In the year 2021, the film The Box marked Chanyeol’s return to the public eye. Another project in which Baekhyun took part was Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choco Bank (2016) and Andante both starred Kai as the main protagonist, and he was Andante (2017). The television show Bad Prosecutor featured D.O. in the role of an odd prosecutor (2022). Last but not least, there’s Sehun, who appears in The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure alongside Han Hyo Joo and Kang Ha Neul (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. ASTRO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-two thousand twenty-three was a hectic year for ASTRO. In both Korea and Japan, they participated in fan meetups, made comebacks, and performed concerts. All of the members want to act in addition to keeping up with their idol careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, Cha Eunwoo made his return to acting in the film Decibel, and he is getting ready to play the role of a priest in the upcoming drama Island. In the drama Crazy Love, Sanha plays the role of the younger brother of Krystal Jung (2022). It was decided that Rocky would play the lead role in the drama “Broke Rookie Star” (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since leaving ASTRO, Moonbin has even made his first appearance in front of the camera. In the drama Boys Before Flowers, he played the role of the younger Kim Bum (2009).

A number of the bands on the aforementioned list have been on indefinite break for several years. As a direct consequence of this, some individuals are familiar with them in their capacities as actors or actresses. For example, when SNSD came back to the music scene after a five-year break, many people said they were surprised because they didn’t think the girl group would be made up of so many actors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate ambition of K-pop superstars is not to establish themselves as solo artists after making a successful debut with their group. They are constantly interested in bettering themselves by taking on new tasks. Because of this, it shouldn’t be a big surprise when we see famous actors or actresses in plays or movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discover from the gods in the sky that it is not necessary for humans to specialise in just one area of labour.
