The K-Pop world has embraced foreign idols for decades now, and they form a significant part of the industry. However, the K-Drama industry is still quite closed off when it comes to casting foreign idols as actors.

Despite the incredible popularity of foreign idols, not many of them are seen on the small screen.

Some foreign K-Pop idols who have acted in K-Dramas include Henry Lau, who has even acted as a Korean ("Oh My Venus"), (G)I-DLE's Minnie in "So Not Worth It" and Terada Takuya in "The Lover".

Isn't it surprising that more foreign K-Pop idols are not seen in K-Dramas?

Here are 5 foreign K-Pop idols we think would be amazing in a K-Drama!

1. NCT's Yuta

Yuta's Instagram

First on this list, we have NCT's Yuta, who has been proving his extraordinary mettle as an actor in Japan.

With his versatility, skills, and visuals, he would be a delight to watch in a K-Drama.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could well make a place for himself in the prestigious film industry too!

2. Lapillus' Chanty

Chanty is an actress in her homeland, just like Yuta.

She is extremely talented, gorgeous and a queen of expressions!

We can totally imagine her as the leading protagonist of a rom-com K-Drama.

3. TWICE's Sana

TWICE's Sana is a veteran in the K-Pop industry.

She is just as beloved as she is talented, with unrivaled charisma.

It is truly surprising that Sana has not appeared in a K-Drama yet but if she ever does, it would break the internet.

4. LE SSERAFIM's Sakura

Miyawaki Sakura is a master of all trades.

So, it is no surprise that she is also a talented actress but unfortunately for us, she hasn't acted in a K-Drama.

Sakura's ethereal visuals may remind you of a romance drama, but she would do fantastic in an action/thriller, too!

5. aespa's NingNing

NingNing's Instagram

NingNing is an idol with angelic beauty and immense talent.

Due to her short appearance on aespa's "Better Things" sitcom, many fans were left wanting more.

We have no doubt that NingNing would be incredible as an actress in a K-Drama, making even more fans fall in love.
