Current K-drama Male Leads on the 10 Year Challenge Have Aged Like Fine Wine

The current It thing on Facebook is the 10 Year Challenge, to post a picture of yourself today versus 10 years ago on your first post when Facebook started. Some people have aged hard, some hardly at all, but looks are merely superficial to have much everyone has emotionally and mentally aged in a decade. For the K-actors we know and love, visuals are part of their job so it’s interesting to put them on the 10 Year Challenge and see how they look today in 2019 versus 2009. The answer is – amazingly well if not better, and there are two who were babies back then that are now in leading men territory. Hyun Bin was already a top drama star in 2009 thanks to My Name is Kim Sam Soon and it’s wonderful to see him back on top for Memories of Alhambra, and likewise for Gong Yoo who had the same career swing, downturn, and now resurgence. Enjoy the side-by-side comparisons and post any others I may have missed!

    • Same opininon here. The make up nowadays hides the uniqueness of each of their skin and color and they all look pale white

    • You mean Lee Min Ho? Also Jo In Sung and Jung Woo Sung should be listed as they haven’t aged at all.

      • @another abc sorry I was referencing Jana’s post above where she wrote Lee Min Ki and I thought it should have been Lee Min Ho from the pictures.

  • They look paler. It's sad I prefer when they are darker. It's more manly and natural.

    Hyun Bin, Gong Yoo, So Ji Sub and Song Seung Hun aged pretty well, very hot ajusshis!

    Yeo Jin Go and Na Da Reum grew up pretty fine!

    Seing this picture of Kim Soo Hyun reminds me that I always want a reunion of him and Nam Ji Hyun. The chilhood part of Will It Snow For Christmas was the best part of the drama. He didn't change as much.

  • Yah, try to 20, 30, 40 year challenge. They can have fillers nowadays and normal people can’t tell so nothing is surprising.

  • Where are our ladies and their 10 year old challenge? Or would that be too much to ask for because some of them have had obvious ‘enhancements’?
