Top 10 Most Handsome Korean Actors of 2025 According to fans

Every year we do this poll where fans from all over the world get to vote for the most handsome Korean actors, and this year might have been our biggest one yet. We got SO many votes like tens of thousands of people participated which is honestly amazing.

We started this survey earlier in the year and just closed it out, and let me tell you, the results were really interesting. Some of the winners were kind of expected but there were definitely a few surprises too! It's always cool to see which actors fans are loving the most and how the rankings change from year to year.

What I think is great about this poll is it's not just about looks  even though that's technically what we're voting on. The actors who made it into the top 10 are all super talented and have done some really memorable shows and movies. It shows that fans appreciate the whole package, you know? Good acting, charisma, and yeah, being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.

10. Hwang In Youp - 4209 Votes

Hwang In-youp was born in 1991 and he actually started out as a model before getting into acting. He lived in the Philippines for a while when he was younger, which is kind of cool. Most people know him from True Beauty where he played Han Seojun, that bad boy character everyone loved. He's been in a bunch of other shows too like 18 Again and Family by Choice. His fans really love his sharp jawline and that brooding look he does so well.

9. Lee Jong Suk - 4491 Votes

Lee Jong-suk is older than some of the others on this list - he was born in 1989. What's crazy is he was the youngest male model at Seoul Fashion Week back in 2005! He's done SO many popular dramas. I Can Hear Your Voice, W, and While You Were Sleeping are probably his most famous ones. He even has a wax figure at Madame Tussauds which shows how popular he is. People say he's really good at romantic roles and thriller type shows.

8. Ji Chang Wook - 6806 Votes

Ji Chang-wook does a lot of his own stunts which is pretty impressive. He learned martial arts for The K2 and everything. He became famous from shows like Healer and Empress Ki. What I think is cool about him is he can do both action scenes and romantic comedy. He was in Suspicious Partner and Backstreet Rookie too. Fans call him the "master of action-romance" apparently.

7. Choi Wooshik - 7053 Votes

Okay so Choi Woo-shik grew up in Vancouver he moved there when he was 10. He came back to Korea to become an actor though. Most people worldwide probably know him from Parasite, that movie that won all those Oscars. He was also in Train to Busan which was super popular. He's in dramas too like Our Beloved Summer. I think what makes him different is he does more indie type films along with the big blockbusters.

6. Jung Hae In - 7370 Votes

Jung Hae-in has this really gentle, boyfriend-next-door kind of vibe. He got popular from While You Were Sleeping and then became a lead actor in Something in the Rain with Son Ye-jin. A lot of fans loved him in that show. He was also in D.P. which was more serious and dealt with military issues. People describe his acting as really heartfelt and emotional.

5. Park Bo Gum - 12987 Votes

Park Bo-gum is super talented - he plays piano and sings too, not just acts. Reply 1988 made him really famous, and then Love in the Moonlight was HUGE. He's won like a ton of awards and was even the youngest person to be named Television Actor of the Year. Twice! They call him "Asia's Boyfriend" because he has this really sweet, warm personality. He just had a new show this year called When Life Gives You Tangerines.

4. Park Hyung Sik - 15174 Votes

Park Hyung-sik was actually in a K-pop group called ZE:A before he focused on acting. His big hit was Strong Girl Bong-soon where he played this rich CEO character. He was also in Hwarang with some other actors on this list. What I read is that he comes from a pretty wealthy family - his dad works at BMW Korea. He did his military service from 2019 to 2021 and came back with more shows like Doctor Slump.

3. Park Seo Joon - 20853 Votes

Park Seo-joon is basically THE romantic comedy guy. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and Fight for My Way were both really popular. Itaewon Class was huge too - people really connected with that show. He was even in Parasite for a small part! There's something called the "Park Seo-joon Effect" where when he wears or uses something, it sells out. That's how popular he is. Fans in Asia especially love him.

2. Seo In Guk - 20884 Votes

Seo In-guk is interesting because he's a singer too - he actually won a singing competition show before he started acting. Reply 1997 was his breakout drama and people still talk about it. He's been in a bunch of different types of shows from Master's Sun to Doom at Your Service. He knows martial arts which is pretty cool. He makes music for some of his shows too which is kind of a unique thing.

1. Kim Soo Hyun - 40800 Votes

Kim Soo-hyun won by A LOT. Like he got 40,800 votes which is almost double the second place person! He's one of the highest paid actors in Korea.
