Even a cameo is better than nothing when it comes to top actor Gong Yoo. He’s confirmed to make a cameo guest appearance in upcoming Netflix produced thriller drama Round Six (Squid Games).

Lists are fraught with disagreement but I don’t think I find anything objectionable about this list. TW-ent ranked the top Hallyu K-drama actors of the last decade (2010-2020) and selected four still very active and marketable male leads Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, Gong Yoo, and Song Joong Ki.
