Wanna One's Park Jihoon is right now trending for his acting and the number one topic on theqoo.
With the increasing success of acting idols from Produce groups like Sejeong, Jung Chaeyeon, Ong Seungwoo etc. Is acting the most promising path? Will Iz*one girls and X1 boys also benefit for doing more acting work?
Acting is always the preferable path for many idols tbh.
The reach Kdramas have and the "prestige" of being an actor/actress is higher than a solo Kpop career. It's also no secret of that "idols" will always be labelled as a teen pop kind of thing. The only idol solo singers who have maintained a high level of success over the years and got recognised by the GP are IU and Taeyeon (on the female side at least).
Also, this just shows how most Kpop fans, especially on this site, don't know much about the Korean entertainment industry. People have been saying Park Jihoon and Wanna One members outside of Kang Daniel have been flopping for years, but in reality, they've been consistently working in dramas and films. The reactions domestically were also great as well. Jihoon got recognised for his acting in At a Distance Spring is Green, and Ong got casted in the sequel of hit drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.
