According to Allkpop, Song Joong Ki - one of the top Korean actors, has recently become a hot topic online, not because of a new project, but because of his surprisingly selective filmography, especially when it comes to leading roles in dramas.
A post on the online community theqoo that attracted nearly 60,000 views said that Song Joong Ki is “a top actor with 15 years of experience but rarely plays the main role in TV dramas.”
The post pointed out that, up to now, Song Joong Ki has only played the main role in 5 Korean dramas, including “Nice guy”, “Descendants of the Sun”, “Arthdal Chronicles”, “Vincenzo”, and “Reborn Rich”.
Or maybe count his role in the drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal", where he shared the lead role with many other actors.
The poster believes that for a famous and successful actor like Song Joong Ki, the number of 5 main TV roles is too small.
This comment has sparked a heated discussion among Korean netizens.
Many people also expressed surprise at Song Joong Ki's limited number of leading roles in TV dramas.
Besides, many comments pointed out the reason why Song Joong Ki rarely takes on leading roles but still builds a successful career is because he has the ability to choose good scripts.
Song Joong Ki, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jong Suk are considered to be actors who do not play the main role in large numbers but always choose quality scripts.
Most of the films Song Joong Ki starred in were popular, making the audience feel like he had a "huge fortune", but in reality, he didn't have many leading roles.
In addition, besides TV dramas, Song Joong Ki also develops in parallel on the big screen. He has had popular movie roles, typically "Werewolf Boy". This helps Song Joong Ki affirm his appeal and reputation.
Song Joong Ki will soon return with the movie "Bogota: City of the Lost".
This is a crime thriller that tells the story of Guk Hee (Song Joong Ki). After the IMF financial crisis, he travels to Bogota, Colombia, with new hopes. There, he gets involved with Soo Young (Lee Hee Joon), a customs officer, and Sergeant Park (Kwon Hae Hyo), a key figure in Bogota's Korean community.
