Bae Suzy (Miss A)
Following Yoona, then came a powerful challenger. As a member of the four-member girl group Miss A in 2010, Suzy was another visual center who can also pass the other two positions including main dancer and main vocalist due to her "all-rounder" skills.
In 2011, Suzy started a high-speed high-altitude march in the acting field with the KBS2's "Dream High," showing her other side as a feisty yet outstanding actress who drew attention for her chemistry with the now highest-paid actor Kim Soo Hyun.
In 2012, her career as an actress continues, after playing the younger Seo Yeon in "Architecture 101." Her nostalgic look which reminds viewers of their first loves became the reason why she was hailed as the "Nation's First Love."
Due to her natural acting, Suzy received explosive love from mostly teenagers, and she continuously played the heroine in dramas with a touch of romance including, "Gu Family Book," "Uncontrollably Fond," and "While You Were Sleeping," who are all successful domestically and internationally.
Since then, Suzy, who has been a singer and actress has properly opened her colorful heyday. In 2019, she transformed into a strong NIS agent in "Vagabond," while she celebrated women's empowerment and independence in her role as Seo Dal Mi of "Start Up." It was noticeable how she has begun to add distinctly different charms on and off the stage.
