Given his talent, don't you think Kang Taeoh is way less popular than he should be?

Aside from his good looks, he can pull off nerdy, romantic, kind, psychopathic, and villainous roles, but strangely he's not becoming more popular. He's also extremely handsome and has a good physique.

Why are guys like Ryu Junyeol and Lee Donghwi thriving, but Kang Taeoh is on an involuntary break? ;;

1. [+365][-3] He’s probably working hard honestly without sponsors.

2. [+294][-0] It’s a shame he went to the military right after the success of 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo.' He could have built on that momentum.

3. [+243][-7] Totally agree with the last sentence. Why are Ryu Junyeol and Lee Donghwi doing well, but he isn’t?

4. [+219][-1] The role he played in 'A Moment of Romance' with Shin Yeeun was an immature, trashy boyfriend who only saw his girlfriend as a sexual object. You could see that just from the short clips. Meanwhile in 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' he was super kind. And then in 'The Tale of Nokdu,' he was a complete psychopath. It seems like he's naturally gifted as an actor. It's truly a mystery why he's not more popular.

5. [+207][-6] F*ck this. He should've become popular a long time ago. Unlike male idols, male actors are at their peak visual-wise from the age of 25 to their late 30s, and they should be playing male leads in several dramas during that time (assuming that they're handsome). Kang Taeoh is too late. But to be honest, it's not just Kang Taeoh. Those crappy actors who always play the heartthrob and have that dreamy vibe have already monopolized the male actor market, making it hard for other handsome male actors to compete.

6. [+139][-0] Yoo Seung-ho, who went to the military early, couldn't become popular due lack of projects, and Kang Taeoh went to the military right after gaining popularity. I really wish they would stop casting those crappy male leads.

7. [+119][-32] When I see things like this, I find Noh Yoonseo fascinating. Her debut work was 'Our Blues,' and now she keeps landing leading roles, including on Netflix.

8. [+109][-1] How does Ryu Junyeol keep getting cast in so many projects? Seriously, is the demand for him that high?

9. [+100][-1] Honestly, I can accept Park Jungmin, but the others aren't godly at acting. Why are they overlooking actors like Lee Joonhyuk, Kang Taeoh, and Kim Jihoon who are all so handsome?

10. [+82][-1] Kang Taeoh aside, it’s also a shame that Lee Joonhyuk isn’t as successful as he should be, given his face. He's currently filming a drama with Han Jimin, I hope this drama does wellㅠㅠ
