3 Hallyu Stars Who Changed Images at 2023, from Bae Suzy, Rowoon and others

Three Hallyu stars who changed images at 2023, from Bae Suzy, Rowoon and others. As stars cement their names in the acting industry, some can be typecast in the long run for taking on similar roles. While some Hallyu favorites continue playing the same roles in every K-drama, stars like Suzy are taking the leap in changing their images. Here are three highly loved actors who changed their images completely at 2023. Yoo Sung-ho First on the list is Yoo Sung-ho, who attracted great attention for his jaw-dropping transformation in his new thrill series The Deal. Known for his flower boy look, the actor wowed the public when he shaved his head as he played the role of a man who kidnapped a friend in exchange for money. Unlike his previous works, Yoo Sung-ho had a rugged appearance which was completed by his smoking scenes. He also acted with violent language, leaving fans speechless. The Deal was a commitment for the actor. Unbeknownst to many, filming the drama made him extremely nervous about its reception. Thankfully, the fans loved his performance. Not only his hair but also his habit of smoking was sacrificed for the work, showcasing Yoo Sung-ho's intense dedication for his craft. Bae Suzy Next in line is Bae Suzy who recently returned with the romance drama Doona. With Yang Se-jeong, the work follows the faithful meeting of an ordinary student and a former K-pop star who cohabitate under one roof. Unlike Suzy's previous dramas, Doona made her bid goodbye to her prim and proper look and gave herself a total transformation. Through the Netflix series, Suzy learned to smoke cigarettes in order to explain her new acting role. The directors believed that the cigarettes were necessary for her character's growth. While many were shocked, Suzy's avid fans received the transformation with a positive mind and even praised the idol actress for bravely taking on the challenge. Rowoon Last but not the least is Rowoon who waved goodbye to his pretty boy characters. In The Matchmakers, the actor sported a stoic and cold appearance. In the series, he plays the role of Shim Young-woo, a widow who works as a matchmaker that marries off the young Joseon maidens to wealthy, eligible bachelors in the nation. Although he's only in his mid-20s, the actor is now playing a widow, which is massively different from his previous roles like a model student and a handsome bachelor, drawing public attention.
