Park Seo Joon, Bae Suzy and more have announced new K-dramas for 2023!

K-Pop Blog > News > K-Drama / Korean Actors

2022 marks the end of another exciting year for K-pop fans. New groups have debuted, hits that will be part of our playlist for a long time have been released, and even groups that haven't been active together in several years have come together for a new album.

But it wasn't just South Korea's singers who were busy this year, but also the countless talented actors and actresses:

Kim Go Eun (Little Women), Kim Woo Bin (The Heirs) and Son Ye Jin (Crash Landing on You) are just a few of the big names who brought laughs or tears with new dramas this year!

Of course, just like the K-pop industry, the acting industry never stands still, so it's no wonder that a number of K-dramas have already been announced to await us viewers next year.

These are a few of the actors whose new projects we're particularly excited about:

Park Seo Joon

The popular actor caused a stir last year when it was confirmed that he would be seen in the 2023 Hollywood film “The Marvels”. We are very happy that another Korean actor, Park Seo Joon, is entering the international stage and will hopefully win many new fans there!

Apart from that, Park Seo Joon has also already filmed a new K-drama called Gyeongseong Creature, which will air on Netflix next year. Although the series hasn't been released yet, it was announced in November that a second season would soon be produced!

Gyeongseong Creature is set in the spring of 1945, a time when Korea was occupied by Japan. It's about two young adults who have to fight a strange creature to survive! The drama falls into the thriller and horror genres, so it's not for the faint of heart! The female lead is played by Han So Hee (Nevertheless).

Park Seo Joon was last seen in the drama “Itaewon Class” in 2020. So his return to the big screen is long overdue!

Jung Hae In

Jung Hae In has captured the hearts of viewers in recent years with dramas such as “A Piece of Your Mind” and “Snowdrop”.

At the beginning of 2023 or even at the end of this year he will be seen in the second season of the Netflix series D.P.! The series revolves around the Korean military police tasked with catching deserters. The first season, also starring Jung Hae In, aired in August 2021. So fans of the drama had to wait a long time for the sequel.

If you missed the first season, now is the time to catch up!

Bae Suzy

The actress and singer once again convinced us of her talent this year with the psychological drama “Anna” and as always, we want more!

Luckily, Suzy has been working on a new series for a few months now called The Girl Downstairs with Yang Se Jong (My Country) in the male lead. He plays a student who falls in love with his neighbor. This is a former celebrity who left the limelight to study. Of course, she is played by none other than Suzy.

We are sure that Suzy will not only win the heart of a student in her role, but will also enchant us viewers!

Kim So Hyun

We missed Kim So Hyun very much, as the young actress was last seen in “River Where the Moon Rises” in 2021.

Since the drama aired in the first half of the year, it has now been almost 20 months since we saw Kim So Hyun in a new role. She signed a contract with a new label in 2022, but we don't know if that's the reason for the break.

Kim So Hyun apparently can't wait to return either, as she recently announced not one, but two new series!

Filming for the first series “Is It Fate?” has already started. It tells the story of young people who accidentally meet their first love again after 10 years.

Afterwards, Kim So Hyun will film Useless Lies together with Hwang Min Hyun (Alchemie of Souls), the former member of the boy group NU'EST. The mystery romance series is about a woman who can hear lies and encounters a murder suspect who everyone believes is guilty.

Which of the two series are you more excited about?

Of course, these are just a few of the actors we can look forward to in 2023. In addition, Nam Joo Hyuk (Twenty-Five Twenty-One), Ma Dong Sok (Train to Busan), Chae Soo Bin (Rookie Cops), Minho (SHINee) and many others are already busy working on new projects.
