The poll has released a list of popular 20-something actresses among the Japanese viewers, following the earlier list of 30-something actresses. This one really showcases the names that should be headlining the dramas and movies in the coming years as the female lead for roles set in their age range, there are so many who are not only fresh-faced and beautiful, what’s more important is the acting chops as many came up as child actresses. The most popular young K-actress for Japanese fans is none other than Kim Yoo Jung, that girl really has the full package and I can see why her bubbly and adorable round cheek look appeals in Japan. The second on the list is Nam Ji Hyun, followed by IU in third, Jin Se Yeon in fourth, and fifth place goes to Kim Go Eun. The next five are Kang Ji Young, Shim Eun Kyung, Kim Da Mi, Park Joo Young, and Lee Da In. Check out the full list below.

Popcorn at the ready. Lez go!
LOL probably gonna be Kim Yoo Jung vs. Kim So Hyun fans dominating the comments again...or that one user talking about how Suzy is "the biggest 20 something hallyu actress" lol...
@lala you don't need to use only one country's survey to drag Suzy down.Each year Hallyu wave survey includes more than 30 countries where in many countries Suzy's names is head over these names,Suzy has been at the top 10 most favourite Hallyu actors list for concective 4 years already since 2018, the only 20s did that!the receipts show it! We don't want to argue who is the biggest 20s Hallyu actress, we are just very happy Suzy's been very popular in many countries for so many years, her last year's drama is still at top 3 at world Netflix kdramas rankings till now, well loved by many countries viewers!
I didn't drag her, htat, calm down. I said if there are fanwars, it would likely be between Yoo Jung, So Hyun, and Suzy fans, particularly that one who keeps saying Suzy is the biggest star and all others are nugu. Common knowledge that those 3 women have some of the loudest fans on this particular site.
@htat The Startup for this year’s ranking is not even Suzy’s drama but an American TV drama. Please double check before claiming it as hers.
Im ready fire chiken and coke now.Fan war let go 1 2 3.
Got buckets lined up...let's go!!
mam hi hyun...I love this girl so much.
Nam ji hyun.....
How did Jin Se Yeon get #4, ahead of Kim Go Eun? Who wrote this crap list? Hahahaha
What about other countries apart from Japan (and China)?
I'm very happy with Kim Yoo Jung and Nam Ji Hyun, 2 child actresses who grew up very well!
There are some weird choices... like the 4th and 20th...
These two are child actresses are doubtless notching being the two most popular actresses in their 20s. I love them both but where is Kim So So Hyun? Ohh #11. It is still okay.
Aigoo. So Ms. “Queen of her generation, best actress of all time and Hallyu star who's Oscar-worthy and a legend and a ratings guarantee and puts Katniss Everdeen to shame and turns her male leads into stars and is so popular internationally that even Netflix knelt before her and begged her to star in one of their dramas” didn't even make the top 10??? Wow. Fan hype is really just noise and hot air.
Enjoy the wall ?
And a dummy took the bait. As usual. LOL.
? Funny how no names were mentioned yet one of the mooks is already camping under your comment. Guess they recognize their own cringy false advertising. ???
I read you’re username as well. Have fun entertaining yourself to the wall ?
No. The thing is you know that this kind of comment will gain ire from others yet you still do so. Isn't that makes you a dummy as well? This is stirring aggression that's why no matter what someone will be angry at this post. The best thing to do is not to post this at all. ?
Thats why the name called out for it. Hehehe, let her be, reading comments like these make these site more interesting.Lets agree to disagree and make this site livelier and funnier.
Username checks out ???
People, please read the username first before taking the bait ?
Really? Your kind of thinking is really twisted. No wonder this is a toxic place. Because there are people like you who enjoys this kind of thing. Who takes joy in being a malefactor. Someone who likes to push the button of another and then if they get a retort, they will see that someone as the mean one, the dumb one, the exaggerated one. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Having that name doesn't justify such action, such words.
Someone is taking notes just to have fun. Your username says it all. Pathetic really.
IU being #3 is so believable but #4, how can she stay there and beating Suzy at #17? Sorry about this. How about Shim Eun Kyung uri best actress in Japan's Oscars - notched the spot of #7.
I love all the girls here. They deserve all the respects in their industry.
Tbh, some of the actresses in this list had me going "who?" For instance, I've never heard of Kang Ji-young before.
And yes, cue the fan wars.
Same here. I've never heard of half of these girls. Lol.
Kang Jiyoung was part of girl group Kara and she's active in Japan. So her spot is understandable.
Kang Jiyoung was part of a girl group that was popular in Japan for years, speaks fluent Japanese and was based in the j-ent industry after she quit idol life. She's also starred in Japanese movies. Makes sense she's up there, she made a name for herself in their industry, same with Shim Eun Kyung. The Japanese market might be volatile but it's far more reliable for kpop idols and as an audience for kdramas/movies, than China and it's held steady for two decades.
Some of these placements are still funny though, no surprise there's some dragging and some getting offended, I'm in with my own popcorn ?
Real surprise though - Lee Da In at 10 when she's never led a drama, looks like either her acting is decent enough or she has fans, the sample size isn't a super small one either.
I also had to google Lee Da-in. I completely forgot that she's Lee Seung-gi's gf too.
What I'm saying is that basically half the names on the list are unknown to me.
She is an idol singer ,a member Of KARA.
#1 & #11 my girls ❤️
