[NEWS] 101029 Various idols rated by their acting skills

Nowadays, it’s quite difficult to find a drama without an idol star in it. Thus a new term was coined: ‘actingdol’. Of course, idol stars are a good way to bring in decent ratings. However, these idols also are closely scrutinized and criticized for their lack of acting ability.

Sports Seoul gathered 3 Content Producers from the major broadcast channels in addition to various film industry representatives to determine which ‘actingdols’ were the best, according to acting ability, potential growth, and drama ratings. The males who came out on top were Lee Seung Gi and Micky Yoochun. Out of the females, Nam Gyuri did the best.

Lee Seung Gi and Micky Yoochun – Acting Ability. Box-Office hit. 1st and 2nd Place.

Through SBS ‘My Girlfriend is a Gumiho‘, Lee Seung Gi came out on top and got the highest rating for acting ability (4.2/5) . Yoochun’s debut drama was KBS2 ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, where he managed a rating of ‘4′ for his first attempt at acting. Also, SBS ‘You’re Beautiful‘’s Lee Hongki (FT Island) received a rating of 3.4 while SBS ‘Oh My Lady‘’s Choi Siwon (Super Junior) received a 3.2 rating. Nam Gyuri was rated 3.4 for her role in SBS ‘Life is Beautiful’.

KBS CP Moon Bohyun, stated, “I like Micky Yoochun because he’s not a regular flower boy. Although he lacks in acting experience, one can still see his charisma as an actor.”

Across the board most of the people rated high for potential growth, but the opposite was true for Tara’s Jiyeon and Kim Hyun Joong. For MBC ‘Playful Kiss‘ Kim Hyun Joong received a mark of 4 in the category for drama ratings. However for potential growth he ranked behind both Choi Siwon and Nam Gyuri, with a 3.4 mark. Jiyeon placed the highest for drama ratings but the lowest for potential growth (2.7).

SBS CP Choi Moonseok commented, “Although I’m not sure about supporting roles, out of the current ‘actingdols’, there isn’t anyone with enough potential to become a leading lady. Performing on stage and being pretty is extremely different from being a good actress.”

Who do you think the best ‘actingdols’ are?

[NEWS] 101019 Park Yoochun Got Praised For His Developing Acting Skill in ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’

Latest News About Update Sungkyunkwan Scandal Episode 16: Drama representatives have been expressing their amazement at JYJ’s Yuchun’s (Micky Yoochun) first drama debut. Although he received criticisms in the beginning for his embarrassing acting skills, his steady and consistent improvement has caught the eyes of many, and in particular, the CP of KBS’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.”

CP Kwak Kiwon stated on October 19th, “I noticed that his gaze started to change after the fifth episode. His lines got a lot longer and the amount of NGs he made started to decrease as well. By the 15th and 16th episode recording, I was shocked when I saw that he was immersing himself into his lines, even shedding a few tears at times.”

He went on to compliment, “He has amazing concentration skills. The pressure must be heavy on him since he’s a rookie but he’s able to handle a lot of things despite his status.”

For an inexperienced actor, one would assume that the long term recordings and the difficult scheduling would tire him out. However, Yuchun showed remarkable consistency even while performing as a member of JYJ. Kwak CP continued, “Yuchun earns a lot of points for his sincerity. He’s a star as a singer, but he fully knows that he’s still a rookie when it comes to acting and acts accordingly.”

The CEO of Sungkyunkwan Scandal’s production company, Lemon Rain, stated, “We were worried since Lee Seon Jun has many lines, but he exceeded our expectations so we’re very proud. Through each episode, his acting is improving. He has the potential to become a great actor.”

A representative from CJES Entertainment commented, “Yuchun went through rigorous acting lessons before recording the drama. The acting he is showing now is only the result of much effort. The producers were so surprised at how well he matched the role when he first got costumed and earned a great response.
