Can Hyun Joong become the second Won Bin?

Hyun Joong is a man who is 180 cm tall and is a type B. He is also a man who loves swimming and basketball.

In the past, if stars like Ahn Jae Wook, Cha In Pyo, Won Bin, Jang Dong Gun, Eric as well as others were the major focus of the male celebrity syndrome, then Hyun Joong can be seen to be the new emerging successor.

Although he made his debut as a singer, there is already a raising possibility of seeing him as an actor, one who belongs to the group of the new generation, handsome young men trend.

Hyun Joong made his first acting debut in a KBS sitcom and has recently been participating in MBC's WGM as the Lettuce couple, where he displays his honest side. In WGM, all the emotions received such as affection and others not so savory is also portrayed through his eyes.

Now, it is not a time to think of him as a singer, but as a newly emerging actor. Although he may still be lacking as an actor, if he follows in the footsteps of Eric, and takes acting as a new challenge then he can be on the path to success.

This alone is of course insufficient for him, he will also have to be able to grab the attentions of the people through his charisma and popularity. However, for Hyun Joong who has already had experience as an actor, if he puts in the effort and time, being in a drama for the first time wouldn't be difficult for him.

Before, having a star as a newbie was a large issue, especially in dramas where ratings were concerned. Moreover, similar characters to that in dramas ensured successes and these characters also caused effect to the Hallyu wave.

Hyun Joong can be seen to have an advantage due to his popularity in Japan as well as Southeast Asia due to his activities with his group SS501. Especially in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, there are plans to offer him a part as one of the main roles in the drama, and if all goes well, his start in a promisingly successful drama can be anticipated.

He already has a loyal fanbase, and there is a growing fanbase of older female fans as well as male fans. Hyun Joong can also be said to have no antifans at all.

Will Hyun Joong not set being a singer aside and try acting? Regardless of the advantages of remaining solely with SS501, if he is given the chance to act in a starring role and become the next Won Bin, then he should grab the opportunity without any hesitation.

However, with acting there will also be criticism, but this can be overcome with hard work. Is there an actor who can perform excellently right from the beginning? Even Eric who couldn't act, found his success when he took on a starring role that had a character which suited him.

As now is a time where new faces are needed in the drama scene, if Hyun Joong stands in the center, the emergence of a new syndrome can begin. Even if Hyun Joong leaves WGM in the future for the sake of his future challenges, if he continues learning to act then the results for his achievements can be expected.
