K-POP Idols turned Soap Opera Darlings

Recently, K-POP stars have been creating a new kind of excitement for their fans, and also for their critics. We can observe that while they are dominating the mainstream music scene all over the world right now, these idols have also been stealing hearts as actors and actresses in top-rating Korean dramas!


To name a few, I'm starting of with YOONA from the popular K-POP group, Girls Generation!
  
Yoona has recently starred in LOVE RAIN, which depicts a love from 1970's, which may have a connection to a present-day love. LOVE RAIN has aired in the Philippines in 2013, and Filipino Koreanovela and Girls Generation fans had positive feedback, and of course, supported the lovely Yoona.

Aside from acting and performing, Yoona also has brand endorsements, like BABY-G by Casio, etcetera. 

Another popular band in the K-POP industry is CN BLUE.
One of my personals favorites, is HEARTSTRINGS. A korean drama that I've really spent time on watching, learning soundtracks, and yes, maybe stalking on the actors.. It's because CN Blue's Kang Min Hyuk (on drums) and Jung Yong Hwa (on lead guitar and vocals) have been cast as main actors! (OMG!!!)

For me, Heartstrings showed how love for music can bring people together, even when they have very different tastes. It was such a cute love story! And it was also well-loved by Filipino fans (hearts everywhere).

I'm pretty sure Yong Hwa and Min Hyuk have enjoyed working on this Koreanovela because what could be better than starring on a Koreanovela about music? Heartstrings got me hooked up from the very first episode because I'm a lover of music myself!

Which K-POP group or singer do you want to see on a Koreanovela next? :-)
