Acting is where the talentless idols go to earn their income

Nah, you need visuals too.
-
All I know is that acting is way more respected than idol music in Korea. And most idols use kpop as a steppingstone for a much stable career in acting or television industry

is D.O talentless?
-
-
Half of SNSD are among the most successful, critically acclaimed and in demand actresses around
-
-
I've seen talentless idols become successful soloists too

akp is where the society's burden go to spend their time measuring others' talent
-
acting is a talent too '-'
i see some idol with discutable talent, going solo '-'
and i see talented idol like eunji or DO who are very good vocalist and could have impressive solo career focus more on their acting career

You are being a bit too hyperbolic for the weak troll to understand.

Troll don't do philosophical statements, though can't say I disagree...
-
but if the acting is bad they are going to be heavily criticized, so you need talent too
-
And to actually reply to this thread.
Have you seen DoYeon's acting on One the woman?
Perfect.
Covered in blood, angry screaming at police officers why are they not doing anything about her grandma.
-
Acting also requires talent
But then again, obvious bait thread.
Shut the door behind you
-
Acting is still a talent...
Yall will say any dumbass take just to gain 1 more akorn.

I dont mind them playing side characters but most of the idol actors in main character are pain to watch.

I honestly agree. I find the four of them (Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, Seohyun) to be quite decent. They improve in each new role which is important. They're the only idol group I know where everyone who went into acting is doing well. Yuri's last drama did well and brought more attention to her. Sooyoung is now starting to get more exposure and roles, Yoona's last few films have done very well and have shown tons of improvement, and Seohyun is starting to pick up more roles and diverse her filmography.

I know right, pretty amazing.
Tiffany is also going to have a debut in acting with a small role. Who knows maybe she might be a full on actress too. By then SNSD will be more of an actress group then an idol group lol.

IU took multiple roles before she became decent tho. To start of with she too had the idol actor who can’t act title. I remember she was criticized a lot for scarlet heart.
Anyway a lot of idols get better as they act more but 99% of idols get casted for their easy fame and looks.
-
Depends, if they are your typical visual I would say yes, but some idols just use kpop as a way to get popular and become actors.
-
How many actually succeed though? I dont see very many Idols in the cast lists for the top dramas or movies. Probably thousands of idols have tried to transition to acting over the past 25 years....how many of them have actually achieved the same or higher level of success as actors than they achieved as idols? Arent most of them barely hanging on, struggling desperately to cobble together a viable and respected career, relegated to bit roles and D level projects and webdramas and commercials?

u can cultivate a longer and more lucrative career if dive into acting and are actually good
soloist rarely do that well, they could underperform easily and not all can sell well physically or sell out concerts
If u can built a good career thru decent acting u will always have jobs

Even most actor-actors need a few projects to be decent.
Idols because of their pre-existing fame are harshly judged from their very first project.
Idols - are at a junction between singing, dancing, modeling and acting.
They aren't the best singers, dancers, models or actors, but a package with each leaning a bit more into one of the skills.
Given that a lot of idol content is consumed through camera/screen, than live. They do need skills with managing expressions. I recollect someone analysing Rose- On the Ground with IU- Lilac.
Music, dance apart, IU has mastered micro expressions very well to romance the camera, Rose is lacking in that - yet.
Besides acting is better for a longer term career and if successful pays far better, when compared to "idol" at similar levels.
So it is a good career to shift to, successful idol or not.

Well, they earn money for each episode so still a win for them.

This and acting is also a talent
-
This doesn't make sense, acting is arguably harder than everything idols do
-
Acting is hard. Bad acting makes a film unbearable to watch.
-
interesting why do you think that way Weitangent ?
do you consider acting easier than singing and dancing?
