K-ent Discusses High Profile 2020 Anticipated Projects From Four Top Stars Lee Min Ho, Kim Soo Hyun, Song Joong Ki, and Park Bo Gum

View Comments

• This year gonna be hallyu reigning across asia again with these 4 return to dramaland.

• LMH took quite a good move this time. His drama would probably be highest rated along with CLOY for this year.
  I don't understand why they put PBG with these three. PBG is still green, his fame is only big in SK. Someone like LJS who is currently in military, have bigger fan base internationally.
  I think SJK lost his roots since his divorce.
  For KSH, we will wait and see.

  • I don't know who LJS stands for but they could've just listed Gong Yoo as a hot topic for a high profile star since it's actually his movie that Park Bo gum is co-starring in.

    • Jcw doesn't deserved being in the top? Is evry1 dumb here...talking about his drama...he is versatile with it unlike other actor doing the same kind of acting.....his great works are K2,healer,empress ki....though his comback was not up to the mark it doesn't mean he doesn't deserved to b listed in the top...and about age Gap between Kim yoo Jung and him it's not just he is the one with this case every1 do so....in clean with passion she does the drama with older oppa too his looks were older while jcw has baby face....haters gonna have...no offence

    • @Zhao li yin - with a 1% rating drama, JCW is really on the top but counted from the BOTTOM UP. hahaha. No offense but his track record is really embarrassing. Empress Ki is totally HJW, Healer is PMY effort, K2 is Yoona. JCW has nothing to be proud of.

  • @Koori

    Even if PBG isnt included here it is okay but he is included si DEAL WITH IT!

    • Park bo gum one hit wonder bhahaha, song joong ki has rating hit drama after leave blossom entertainment.He get new cf btw and he always work with top writer and director in drama.

  • You wrong bhahaha the king eternal ppl was biggest flop drama in 2020.First kim eun sook flop in her career.

• KSH and LMH For the win!! They both will do very well this year. For others, I don't think so.
  Why don't they include Hyun Bin here??

  • @trasee

    Excuse me...

    He isnt starring but he is the title of that movie. Excise me again. Seobok is his titular role. Excuse me again. Research first.

• Is PBG a reigning k-drama king?? Really??
  I think JCW and LJS are more deserved to be called as K-drama Kings than him.

  • I don't know about PBG but JCW, really?
    With what? His 1% drama? LOL

  • Talking about PBG's Highest rating drama.
    Reply 1988 : 18%
    MDBC : 23%
    Encounter : 10%
    Yes PBG deserved that title more than LJS and JCW. Just deal with it

    • LJS maybe yes (his dramas get decent ratings or at least never flopped, and he has a track record with like 5-6 dramas since School 2013), JCW....only in the heads of the delusional. PBG's dramas as lead so far have done well but that's only 3 dramas till date.

    • This is 2020 dear, not 2014 anymore. Why the reporter want to make an article based on 2014 popularity? K-actors always in big competition. Just because he taking more drama it doesnt make him a king. 2 last drama of LJS not doing well, one was flop and one just got average rating. And both failed in hallyu. EC and hymn to death aired at the same week before, but PBG taking all the buzz. He won easily, thats why.

    • @Royal We LJS's last drama with Lee Na Young flopped and the before that with Suzy performed with average ratings. With 3 hits consecutively, PBG is definitely bigger than him in Korea now. But I agree that LJS is bigger than PBG internationally.

    • Hymn of Death was a 3 episode SHORT DRAMA on Netflix. Does anyone really expect it to draw the same kind of attention as a full length drama like Encounter?

      I agree WYWS didn't get the high ratings SBS expected but it came first in its time slot back then and seems to be spoken of as a 'hit' drama. It's definitely not seen as a failure for LJS record anyway.

    • @royal we its doesnt matter. When a big star has comeback, they will always created a big buzz. LJS still created a big buzz but not as big as PBG. There's reporter who made article about this btw.

      WYWS rating is super average, the lowest rating even reached 5%. They called it 'hit' because there's no competition that time, and both actors are hallyu star. But I remember koala posted about popularity list in 2017, and PBG still above LJS even without drama.

  • Whatever it is they all deserve the title!! Jz support whoever u want to.. They are good actors though. Soo happy to see them back on kdrama or big screen and that matters most. Goodluck Oppas!! ??

  • PBG is not reigning Kdrama king. He is nowhere as popular as Kim Soo Hyun to be considered at his level, to be honest.

    But he is a CF star in his own right in SK, so there's that to consider. His image hasn't been tarnished by his relationship with cult or Song-Song divorce.

  • Yes Laura he is the 2nd generation Hallyu Drama King. He is the youngest here and without many dramas yet. So Deal with it.

• Dear Koala, you really like this kind of post, right? You never mentioned the original source of these kind of list. These posts will make fan wars and more attention to your page. You really did good job. A few days ago, you also did the list of HB, KSH, GY and SJK. Give us the actual source, then We will believe it.

  • Dont come to her site if you dont like her post. It is stated very clearly she tsalks what she wants. You can go elsewhere. She is not keeping you.

  • Im not looking for war but this is her blog. She can post whatever she likes. The most u can do is to stop visiting the page. Like literally stop visiting the page so u won't have to deal with her post. Why stress urself?

  • Agree with @hohliu & @Anaa, Ms Koala can write anything in her blog, she can create an article without any source because this is her blog. I have not commented for a while because some readers like you are just too unreasonable. Do you not understand the nature of a blog is to attract attention and are you detesting the truth?

• the news is about Hallyu star who are coming back this year. Basically about anticipated projects so why mention those in army like LJS? ji chang wook never big in korea as well. hyunbin is back to popular these days but the show is still airing so he's not included in the topic as these 4 are "coming back". it's not about who's the king or who's more popular in drama land internaionally. and if you check the source, most of comments are about PBG so you know he's always popular in korea.

  • Well Gong Yoo is also hallyu star coming back this year in same movie as Park Bo Gum. Better to mention him since he has a Pan-Asian mega hit in Goblin. What drama of Park Bo Gum can be considered at the level of The Heirs, YWCFRS, DoTS, and Goblin both domestically and internationally?

    • so? yes gongyoo i love him too among the list he should be included but what to do if reporter include other actor too? PBG has R88 and moonlight which also popular and kr acknowledge that. ofc he's not the same level as those 30s hallyu actor and he's still young. but what can we do if reporter include him in the list? lol is that consider offend you or gongyoo? it's so chlidish. Their list can't be what you want all the time.

    • @chocolate I'm not offended. I just think it's funny that they named him as one of the 4 biggest hallyu actors when he has no huge hit outside of Korea, that's all lol.

    • @marie which part is funny? PBG's single top Oricon, even without promotion. His popularity in japan is pretty big. Even CJ ent begged him to host their show in Japan, Its not weird seeing his name there. And yes PBG fans is the one who dominating the comment section, thats why the reporter put him as top star.

    • @Tiana Japan is not the only country out there lol. LMH, KSH, SJK and GY are popular and had hit dramas throughout Asia, not just Japan.

    • @maria if you have time to read the full article, reporter just mentioned Japan and China as hallyu market.

  • Park Bo Gum is never popular in China. I don't know where you get the information that he's popular. He is involved with the scandal about how his CF insults Chinese, and general Chinese netizens don't find him attractive nor appealing because of it.

    So if you consider China as part of Hallyu, you might as well drop it.

• SJK still has a movie "Bogota".

  • True Song Joong Ki will hit it with his coming dramas

• Park Bo Gum doesn't belong with these three who had Pan-Asian megahits. Gong Yoo would have been a better choice since he is also in the same movie (Seo Bok).

  • What project of Park Bo Gum's can be considered a megabit internationally? Reply 1988 was big in Korea but not at the level of The Heirs, MLFTS, DoTS, etc. Even Moonlight Drawn By Clouds was eclipsed by Korean flop Scarlet Heart Ryeo in the rest of Asia. Obviously he is huge in Korea, but since the article is about "the 4 highest profile hallyu actors," they should have just put Gong Yoo instead.

    • @marie he is still better actor and bigger star than suzy everywhere. Suzy is on way to be has been

    • @Marie

      You should have become a reporter and make your own list so you can put the names of the actors that you wanted. Take it or leave it, nicely or sourly, PBG IS ONE ACCLAMIMED HALLYU STAR in KOREA and INTERNATIONALLY.

    • Sour Marie
      Reply 1988 has always been loved in and out of Korea. Take it or leave it.

• I would have prefered another actor than Lee Min Ho for The King. I'm not a big fan. In Heirs, he was overshadowed by Kim Woo Bin. In this one, Woo Do Hwan will be a strong contender...

• K-ent just recognizing cina and Japan as hallyu. Thats why PBG on the list. The guy is pretty big in japan. About GY, this is what I says before, I felt like k-ent not recognizing his hallyu popularity. But its ok for me, it wont give any impact to his career. He don't need that.

  It will be fun if LMH and KSH comeback in the same time in drama land and PBG and SJK in movie land. Just want to see who will create more buzz.

  • No please i dont want any one of them to cancel out each other. ksh needs a good comeback and facing each other will be disaster. Both sbs and tvn knows it well. Anyways train to busan is huge till to this day and goblin was massive so gong yoo dont need any support like this!
