Many K-pop singers have made forays into acting and successfully turned themselves into triple threats. Bae Suzy, Yoona and IU are just three who spring to mind. And in the next few months, five more K-pop idols are set to make highly anticipated acting debuts.

Blackpink’s Jisoo will no doubt set the internet on fire this winter when she debuts in the K-drama Snowdrop, scheduled for release on December 18. She tackles the role of Eun Young-cho alongside Netflix’s D.P. star Jung Hae-in who plays graduate student Im Soo-ho. The two university students meet and fall in love in South Korea in 1987. The drama is set against the backdrop of the country’s Democratic Movement, according to HITC.
