Here are 5 male rising K-Drama stars who won our hearts in 2022!
Noh SangHyun
When Noh SangHyun came in like the wind and stole our hearts as Baek Isac in “Pachinko”, we knew there was no turning back. His portrayal of the character was so noble, kind, and gentle, that he had us swooning and rooting for him from the moment he appeared on our screens. The actor has a certain regal air to him that makes him all the more charming, and we just can’t help but stan. Noh SangHyun is currently playing Ri MunSung in “Curtain Call” and Lee SangWook in “Behind Every Star”.
Shin HyeonSeung
It hasn’t been long since Shin HyeonSeung stepped into the entertainment industry, and he has already impressed us with his acting range. This year, he appeared in the romantic comedy “Sh**ting Stars” as Yoon JaeHyun, followed by Lee DongRim in “Adamas”. Both of these characters have their own unique charms and endear themselves to the audience with ease. Shin HyeonSeung has a bright future ahead of him, and we would love to see him in another leading role next.
Shin SeungHo
Shin SeungHo has been delivering the most stunning roles in film and TV ever since he debuted. After playing the horrifyingly intimidating Hwang JangSoo in “D.P.” last year, he gave us a total switch up as Crown Prince Go Won in “Alchemy of Souls” this year. Not only did he completely embody the character, but his synergy with the rest of the cast was so exceptional that it amplified the immersion of the drama manifold. If you already miss him, Shin SeungHo will be back on your screen soon with “Weak Hero Class 1” on November 18, 2022, so get ready!
Bae HyeonSeong
2022 was the year of Bae HyeonSeong. With 3 blockbuster dramas - “Our Blues”, “Dear.M” and “Gaus Electronics”, Bae HyeonSeong put his versatility on full display, proving his mettle as a worthy rising star. With how well he can execute different genres like melodrama, romance, and comedy, we cannot wait to see what Bae HyeonSeong has in store for us next. According to reports, he will be leading the upcoming slice-of-life drama “The Miracle Brothers” alongside Jung Woo.
Kang Hoon
Winner of the Best New Actor (Male) award at the 2021 MBC Drama Awards, Kang Hoon is the very emblem of brilliance. The world saw his acting genius in “The Red Sleeve” last year, and this year, they fell even more in love with him than ever before, thanks to “Little Women”. Kang Hoon’s character Ha JongHo was easily one of the most beloved characters on the show, which speaks volumes of the actor’s ability. In 2023, Kang Hoon is set to appear in “A Time Called You”, which is a Korean remake of the Taiwanese drama “Someday Or One Day” as well as the mystery romance drama “Flower Scholars’ Love Story”. We cannot wait for the new year! Which of these rising stars is your favorite? Tell us in the comments section down below!
