One of the largest acting agencies in Korea, Namoo Actors, is seeing a great year.
Many actors and actresses under the agency Namoo Actors have been making it big during the year 2022, with some maintaining their high popularity and some getting explosive recognition.
Roh Jeong Eui
The Gen Z actress Roh Jeong Eui managed to make a deep impression as the second female lead of the K-drama “Our Beloved Summer”, which aired in late 2021 and early 2022. Dressed in chic clothes and boasting platinum blond hair, the actress gained ample attention from the public.
As she has been acting since the age of 10, Roh Jeong Eui is undoubtedly a talented actress, and holds bright prospects in the future. Another work of hers, “Dear M”, has also been praised as it aired in Japan.
Song Kang
In 2022, Song Kang showed a massive improvement through his recent drama “Forecasting: Love and Weather”. The series still managed to achieve commercial success despite going against “Twenty Five, Twenty One” and “Business Proposal”, proving the popularity of Song Kang and his co-star Park Min Young.
In this particular work, Song Kang boasted a pleasant chemistry with Park Min Young, and did manage to show different sides to his character.
Seohyun
While “Jinxed At First” did not perform as well as expected, the series has proven Seohyun’s capabilities as an actress, instead of an idol trying to act. Now, most audiences only have praise for the portrayal delivered by this SNSD member.
In “Jinxed At First”, Seohyun’s natural and bubbly acting really lightened up the show. Her cute interaction with co-star Na In Woo is also a major contributor to the series’ unique flair.
Lee Jun Ki
Super star Lee Jun Ki continues to cement his standing in the industry with an impressive performance in “Again My Life”. While the SBS K-drama was not hyped internationally, it was a huge hit in Korea, with ratings peaking at 12% – one of the highest within 2022.
“Again My Life” perfectly highlighted Lee Jun Ki’s strengths, from his soulful acting to his eye-pleasing action sequences. It seems that Lee Jun Ki will continue to be a top name for years to come.
Park Eun Bin
If “Again My Life” made waves in the first half of 2022, then as of the moment, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” is undoubtedly the biggest hit in the second half.
Starring in this series is none other than actress Park Eun Bin, who has earned worldwide recognition as the show’s female lead. It’s no exaggeration to say that Park Eun Bin is the “soul” of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, and her career is looking brighter than ever.
Kang Ki Young
Ever since he signed with Namoo Actors in 2020, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” is Kang Ki Young’s first return to the small screen, and also blew his name up to a whole new level.
In “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, Kang Ki Young played the understanding boss of Park Eun Bin, who also had their fair share of humor. Through the show, many people have realized the true talents of the actor, and recognized that he’s more than a mere comic relief face. Hopefully, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” will be the perfect launching pad for Kang Ki Young’s career.
With senior faces like Lee Jun Ki maintaining his hype, and younger faces like Park Eun Bin, Seohyun, and Roh Jeong Eui receiving explosive reactions, it seems that Namoo Actors is having their best year yet.
