Then vs. Now: 5 Model-Turned-Actors Who Are Active In The K-Drama Scene And Are Stealing Hearts

Even though we love a great storyline, one of the best parts of any K-Drama is getting to see your favorite actors on screen. Be it the lovely leading ladies or the handsome heartthrobs, they instantly attract you to the storyline.

The same can be said for the fashion world. As much as we love the actual fashion (clothing, accessories, etc.), sometimes one of the best parts is seeing which models will bring the clothes to life.

What if you could have the best of both worlds, though? Luckily, some model-turned-actors have blessed us with the best of both experiences.

Here are some of the model-turned-actors who made us swoon at them on the runway and have now taken over our K-Drama screens in the same way.
