Actors from idol groups are taking hold of the screen and CRTs. Big Bang’s TOP (T.O.P, Choi Seung Hyun) and 2PM’s Taecyeon (Ok Taecyeon) are at the forefront. The two singers-turned-actors have definitely gotten their foothold in their respective movie Into the Gunfire and drama ‘Cinderella’s Sister.’

TOP, proved that he could act through Into the Gunfire

The movie Into the Gunfire gathered a million viewers its first week and is becoming a daily box-office sensation. It could very well break 2 million viewers by this weekend. TOP has appeared before in the movie 19 and drama ‘IRIS,’ but had yet to clearly show his ability as an actor.

TOP had slowly gained acting experience through a lead role in a small-scale movie and through a lightweight supporting role in successful drama. This could be considered a safe way to go, because although his acting was lacking, there was no need for him to take full responsibility for it.

After checking his potential as an actor in these two projects, he proudly took on the lead in Into the Gunfire and spread open his ability. He built up his reputation by flawlessly assimilating the role of Oh Jang Bum, who began as a young student soldier who never shot a gun and transformed into a lieutenant leading his fellow soldiers. Showing a resolve to protect his nation through innocent eyes that are filled with fear, TOP is emerging as a young star movie critics are keeping their eyes on.
