Idols who become actors or actresses often aren't very good. They look stiff, don't show much emotion, afraid to look bad on camera, and seem to struggle with their facial expressions. Some examples are Eunwoo and Minhyun, who've been acting for a while but still didn't improve much. They're like walking stone on the set. Yoona's acting is just okay, while Suzy has improved. Overall, they rely more on their looks than their acting skills. Just like they typical idols industry too. But there are obviously some exceptions of idols that are really talented and can act.
Mainly, today I want to talk about BoA. She was in a show called 'Marry My Husband' as Yoora. It's clear that in this industry, talents is not important at all. Directors often pick popular idols for their projects because they bring in fans. Cuz there's no way did they choose BoA for this role after look at her acting skills.
BoA just didn't fit the character at all! She's a good idol, but acting isn't her strong point at all. and it doesn't match her looks. She seems to have had some cosmetic work done, which makes it hard for her to show emotions and facial expressions. She seems struggles to even open her mouth which is one of most important aspects of acting itself.
I hope many idols realize that acting isn't for everyone. Just because they're famous and directors willingly take them in doesn't mean they can act. I've seen lots of idols eager to try acting because it seems like a promising career, but they often end up ruining the show. I couldn't keep watching 'Marry My Husband' because of BoA, so I'll pretend the show ended before her part, especially since I already read the manhwa.
