[HanCinemas Idol Actors] Jeong Yong-hwa and Kim Hyun-joong (Non-KHJ article omitted) Kim Hyun-joong Idols often get unwarranted hate when they try acting. Even if not bad for the rookie actors that they are, the mere existence of their other profession gets them harsh criticism. Despite this being a sad reality, that criticism is sometimes valid. For people like Jung Yong-hwa and also someone like Kim Hyun-joong, there was really no justification to be made in the past. Having gotten popular from his role in Boys over Flowers, Kim Hyun-joong also enjoyed drama fame very disproportionate to his acting level at the time. There is no beating around the bush. The man could not act. He could barely muster up a few expressions, he lacked charisma, skills and one would have to dig deep to find some potential, if any. Things did not look promising in Naughty Kiss either, where his characters cold and nonchalant facade did not give him much more to put effort into. Ji-hooSeung-jo Kim himself said that if he could not deliver on his next drama, he would quit acting. The drama which presented that opportunity was Inspiring Generation. And this is where things took an unexpected turn. While nothing great or consistent, Kim showed great improvement in this series. He managed to be convincing and even engaging as the humble street fighter, Sin Jeong-tae. This just goes to show that effort and study can go a long way. Kim took acting lessons for his cancelled drama, City Conquest and he gave Jeong-tae his all. This is something those not born with natural acting talent can learn from, be they idol actors or other types of rookie actors. Hard work and challenging oneself can do wonders in making someone as good at their job as possible. Kim Hyun-joong still has a lot to prove as an actor and needs the right projects and constant effort to do so, but at least he has proven progress is always within reach.
