One of the hottest Korean male actors today is ASTRO member Cha Eun Woo. His perfect visuals and sweet gestures make the viewers swoon over his character as Lee Su Ho in the ongoing romantic-comedy drama "True Beauty."

Known as a "face genius," Lee Suho is the epitome of perfection as he also excels in academics, jiu jitsu, and playing basketball. But behind that beautiful face, he also has his flaws that others don't know about. He looks cold-hearted at first but when he meets Im Ju Gyeong, his sweet and gentleman sides crawled out of the cave. 

Cha Eun Woo really looks handsome with his school uniform. A wishful thinking, but fans do wonder how it feels like to have a classmate as good-looking and smart as him. We bet you wouldn't miss a class. Ever!

Han Seo Jun is known for having a rebellious and bad boyish image, but as the story unfolds, his soft and sweet side suddenly emerge.

One of the reasons why viewers are into him is that Han Seo Jun is actually a kind-hearted guy who loves to spoil his mother and his younger sister with love. And of course, the girl that he likes, Im Ju Gyeong. He has been suppressing his feelings towards her, but the way his character shifts from being a boyfriend-like to Im Ju Gyeong truly melts the hearts of the fans. 

Plus, he really looks handsome everytime he drives his motorcycle!

NU'EST member Hwang Min Hyun finally had his debut as an actor in the drama "Live On." He plays the character of Go Eun Taek, who is the head of Seoyeon High School's broadcasting club. His good looks catch the attention of many, ignoring how rude and bossy he was at first -- not until he meets the fearless popular student Baek Ho Rang (Jung Da Bin).

Slowly, he develops special feelings towards her. His character shifted from arrogant to the boyfriend material, and this is another reason why viewers are into him and the drama plot. What more can you ask? He's a leader, a persevering student, and excels in everything that he does.

After his drama "Extraordinary You," Kim Young Dae is once again captivating viewers with his character as Joo Suk Hoon in the smashing hit drama "The Penthouse: War in Life."

In this current series, the actor's role is the perfect student who almost has it all, from good visuals to being at the top of the class and having great fighting skills. Though he was born in a rich family, he has his flaws that he is not comfortable showing to anyone. He has this arrogant side, which he manages to hide and enjoys controlling his teachers and classmates with his two-faced personality. 

We can't wait to see his evolution through the much-awaited second season of the drama!
