Don't wanna pull an Ash, but who's this? She qt.
I think it's going to be a full 2NE1 album with maybe a couple CL solo songs. 2NE1 fans would go full egg-throw-guy on YG if they didn't have an album, and the fact that they've been doing teaser things for all four of them makes it obviously a 2NE1 album and not just CL.
OH YEAAAAAAAAAA
He is too short but that dude totally looks like Terrell Owens with what looks like a blurred Seattle Seahawks beanie.
This pleases me.

It's really ridiculous. Kang Sora would have been a much better choice.
Seeing Kang Sora in that outfit for the group Christmas episode(s) of We Got Married, I would have to agree.
Well I was talking about acting skills really... lol.
In dramas it usually doesn\t matter. The direction demands overacting and stiff line delivery anyway.
Oh, oh, me too. *wink*
Disagree. Idols =/= actors and they shouldn't be replacing them simply because it's an easy sell to international audiences thanks to Hallyu.
Regardless about how you feel about dramas, this is a film not a series.
They're terrible actors.

Sometimes, sometimes decent. Never saw a good movie hurt by their inclusion though - usually they're cast in paper thin crowdpleasers.
Plus there's plenty of mediocre actor actors as well. Kim Tae-Hee still gets work.
Show me potentially great art that's damaged by this trend and I'll reconsider though.
I saw very few dramas, and with a more carefully look at them, most are plagued by poor writing and cliché. But this does not excuses some bad acting.
Show me decent acting from an idol and I might reconsider (Not Eunji in Reply 97, she's an exception).Sometimes, sometimes decent. Never saw a good movie hurt by their inclusion though - usually they're cast in paper thin crowdpleasers.

And I'm not talking about art being damaged by it. Most directors with any dignity don't use idols, but just because a film is more lighthearted entertainment doesn't mean we should settle for idols in place of proper actors who can't act to save their lives.

That role really didn't demand much.
So the role not demanding much = she's not a decent actor? She did a good job, got the recognition she deserved from it and made the drama more enjoyable than it would have been if it had been another plank faced idol in the role.
What the role 'demanded' is irrelevant when she brought a lot to it.
Ok so it's a principal thing for you ramyeon. With money making machines I don't really care about the principal of things and I don't think it's more or less morally sound to hire idols. If they can do the job they can do the job. If the people behind it hire someone who can't then they're bad filmmakers anyway.
Jung Ryeo-won started as a girl group idol and is in my opinion one of the best comedic actresses in Korea. That's one example. Han Groo was a bad idol but a good actress in one of the best mini serie dramas.

Your first sentence sums up how I feel. Just because most dramas don't demand much doesn't mean roles should be filled with idols who have never acted before/can't act at all. If the role was given to an experienced actor they could bring much more to it and make the show more enjoyable all around.
Not so much a principle but when every other drama/film is substituting real actors with idols it's become ridiculous.
Jung Ryeo Won is indeed a good actor, and she's also been acting for longer than her singing career lasted.
Fair point but it's very rare that any actor is allowed to do so in K drama (brighten up the show with a charismatic performance). The directors ruin most of the dramas, and in the case of Reply1997 luckily both writers and director came from left field (variety) and made the whole thing work as something different stylistically.
Even if they're not able to inject the most charismatic performance due to poor direction, someone who can act well is always going to be better than someone who can't.
If you're hiring the amateur based on an audition or actual possible talent, sure. But they're usually only doing it for the brand name so it's easier to market the film/series especially as a Hallyu export.
One movie that suffered from this was Architecture 101. A nice movie that hit all the right nostalgia points but Suzy is just a really boring actor.
Sure that's true, that could be because some actors always plays the same characters, with variations, amateurs may play themselves or avoids bad habits because they don't have them yet.
Yes fresh blood is always good. And there is most definitely a huge pool of amateur actors in Korea trying to get cast and put their names out there, but they are looked over and idols are cast without any audition or anything because they will sell more than a rookie actor who hasn't appeared in anything before, regardless of which would actually play the part better.
Suuuure ;p

Oh my favorite netizen debate; Netizen Buzz runs this argument all the time. I think there's a couple that have gotten respect (I think they were all male idols though).
