Breakouts happen in K-drama land only when the right actor/actress meets the right role, it’s tough and I appreciate it moreso because it introduces me to someone I may not have noticed otherwise. The latest breakout is Kim Min Kyu thanks to SBS drama A Business Proposal, he was the least famous of the four leads so definitely got a much needed boost of visibility. He needs to strike while the iron is hot and for the post drama media interviews he admitted that his looks are neither that handsome nor that not handsome, so he can play either a nice guy or a bad guy and slip into the role visually. For his future challenges, he was really taken with Nam Joo Hyuk‘s character in Twenty Five, Twenty One and really wants to play that kind of role if its offered to him.

Yeeees Go Go Go we're rooting for you❤❤❤
so...he wants a role with an adult-minor relationship?...lol kidding
We're talking a four year difference in their friendship, Which he waited on for 2-3 years. I think the media should focus on something else,like why the end was so bad...
This guy is fireworks. Honestly I find him way more interesting and the sky is the limit. 25-20 was just boring for my liking but maybe it had some sort of attachment for koreans from the 90s but other then that didn't like the show.
Nam Joo Hyuk is very good actor; he showed a wide range of emotions in Twenty Five Twenty One.
I agree with Kim Min-kyu about his choice.
I really am rooting for Min-kyu to get a leading role in a romcom. He is adorable and entertaining. I think he’ll be good in a drama, too.
He was excellent in Queen:love and war
You are right. He was excellent as the lead actor with Jin Se Yeon in Queen: Love and War.
?? He was excellent as the lead actor with Jin Se Yeon in Queen: Love and War.
You're adorable. Great acting.
that's three actors who have mentioned nam joo hyuk in the last few weeks as their role model/someone to watch - choi byung chan, kim sejeong's lil bro in abp, lee do hyun, and now kim min kyu.
kim min kyu seemed very charming in abp. hope he gets a lot out of its success.
He said that he wanted to play the 25,21 role but his role model is Jung Hae-In, not NJH.
he may not have explicitly called him a role model, but saying a role njh played is his ideal role means he thought njh did exceptionally well in said role. that he picked a role njh played is still credit to njh.
He mentioned in another interview that he is doing 1 more drama and enlisting. The timing is just not great for him as the 19 months away will surely see the rise of alot of new actors especially with the amount of content Korea is producing now. Suspect this is one of the reasons why ABP cannot renew for a second season and a new actor will need to be casted. It will be 2024 before KMG comes out.
I'm not sure a second season would have worked for ABP since the ending felt like an ending and they would have to create all sorts of obstacles for the second season. And the other 3 actors will have other projects. I can feel Seol Inah getting a primetime lead soon. I hope Kim Min-kyu's next drama is a hit.
I hope when he is back from military service he can reunite with Seol In Ah in another drama. Their chemistry is off the chart! Both were excellent as the second lead couple.
His looks are totally in the handsome category! What is he talking about?! I love hearing about other actors watching dramas. I wonder what he thought of the ending. LOL
his craft is not that nuance in acting as for me he is the least my fav in terms of acting performances among 4 actor, so it's justified. He was decent in snowdrop, might be he suit roles which require more intense roles, as he is not that subtle. His handsomeness is not the problem as I think his face is on par with the likes of some handsome actor who has more pupularity.
He can do it bcoz he is really cute,adorable and handsome....he deserves to be a male lead 100%...
