too! We dove into Viu’s entire library to come up with the ultimate list
of your favorite male K-Pop Idols in K-Dramas! (If you’re looking for your

Global heartthrob V of BTS may have only had one role as an actor yet he
definitely deserves to be on this list! In the historical drama series
Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, V portrayed Suk han-sung where
he expertly displayed all sides of the persona he played. He not only
deftly handled the tragic past of his character, but also brought a lot of
excitement and fun to the show with his passionate performance.
