I want to collect Ji Soo goodies up like baseball cards and he’s the rookie I know will be priceless someday down the road. He’s still up and coming, and despite how often I write about him he’s not nearly a super breakout star in Korea yet. I do wonder if he was cast in a drama as pop culturally relevant as the Answer Me series then he might just be an It Boy already. But no rush on that, he’s so talented as an actor there is plenty of time to steadily make his way up the leading man ladder. He’ll get his first chance in early 2016 when he costars with Kim So Hyun in Park Hye Ryun‘s short oiano-themed drama Page Turner. It doesn’t scream ratings magnet but with this level of acting and writing talent it’s certainly going to be worth watching. Until then, have some Ji Soo doing his best dapper and brooding young man modeling in his most recent clothing CF campaign.
He gives me Yoo Ah In vibes. I haven’t seen him act yet though, but if he’s as good as you say I better check him out soon.
I second that! 🙂
I was thinking the same thing – he’s like Yoo Ah In’s younger brother, with a similar vibe when acting, too
He’s SO TALL.
The Page Turners might be a short drama and might slip by without much press but this kid is like Park Bo Gum – just one role away from true stardom, since he already had his breakout in Angry Mom. The Sassy Go Go main four are all worthy of being next-gen leading men and ladies, I look forward to him, Lee Won Geun, Jung Eunji and Chae Soo Bin’s projects in the future.
If I were a modeling recruiter, I’d have him walking on an international runway somewhere if he hasn’t already! He’s got a unique look that is quite sexy and he seems to ooze natural swag. You don’t see it a lot among younger Korean actors. I wish him luck in his career..
yeah, his look is totally unlike any of the younger-gen Hallyu stars, that face is the kind I’d love to stick in front of Steven Meisel’s lens.
But the kid prefers acting and has been in theatre since 2009, I feel like that actually helped his modelling skills too.
