1. BTS JIN

Jin has the proportions of a Greek God and the face of one too. His ability to adapt and deliver varied concepts shows his skill and talent at expressing different emotions. He can be quirky, a rebel, the CEO, the chaebol, the hopeless romantic, the cold class president, or any other role that is given to him. Jin's range is no joke. It is only fair then that ARMYs get to see him on screen as an actor. As the cherry on the cake, he even has a degree in acting from Konkuk University.

2. RED VELVET IRENE

Even though Irene has already made her acting debut as the female lead in the web drama, "Women at a Game Company," fans are highly expectant that Irene will come back to acting in her own time and this time for a regular TV Drama. With her impeccable visuals and grace, it's hard not to imagine her as the female lead in a rom-com or even a melodrama. Her timeless elegance would place her well in a period drama as well!

3. NCT YUTA

NCT's Prince, Yuta, has all the likings of a male lead with a tough exterior and heart of gold. His sharp features also make him the perfect candidate for a period drama. He has already shown his acting chops in several variety shows, which have piqued fans' interest in seeing him acting professionally on screen.

4. GOT7 JB

A lot of fans speculated that JB would be cast for the K-Drama remake of "True Beauty" as the character of Han Seo Joon seemed like it was precisely made for JB. With the perfect aesthetics for a rebellious male lead, JB would undoubtedly steal hearts were he to be cast in a K-Drama.

5. MAMAMOO HWASA

This bold and fiery idol would make the perfect fit for a K-Drama female lead. A role should be written out just for her so fans can see her acting in a K-Drama. Whether it be a romantic comedy or just a story about strong and independent women, Hwasa is sure to pull it off. Her facial expressions and presence on stage are all tellers of the fact that she's meant to be in front of the camera.

6. MONSTA X HYUNGWON

Hyungwon is built like royalty, and his visuals are no joke. With his tall frame and angelic face, he would make the hearts of not just the female lead, but millions of fans flutter in an instant. No doubt about the fact that as soon as the drama would come out, it would instantly reach #1.

7. STRAY KIDS HYUNJIN

Throughout the discography of STRAY KIDS, Hyunjin has pulled off several concepts, and he has nailed all of them on the head. His versatility, along with his visuals, of course, make up for the perfect high school or college freshman male lead. He would be the most popular kid too!
