Actress Kim Hye Yoon will make a comeback in the latest Korean drama “Lovely Runner” (2024). This time, she plays Im Sol (Kim Hye Yoon), a woman who gets the opportunity to go back to the past and tries to save the future of her favorite idol, Ryu Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok).
Fangirling activities are often a theme in various Korean dramas. A number of actresses have also had roles as fangirls. Let’s see who they are!
1. Park Min Young is an art curator who leads a double life as a fangirl in “Her Private Life” (2019).
2. In the same Korean drama, Kim Bo Ra becomes Park Min Young’s rival in seeking the attention of their idol, Cha Si A (One).
3. From high school until she got married and had children, Jung Eun Ji remained a fan of the idol group HOT in “Replay 1997” (2012).
4. Jung Eun Ji’s friend, carrying out a fangirling life from school to adulthood, is Shi So Yul, their hard-line fangirl!
5. Park So Dam is a successful fangirl who can get close and grow together with her idol, Park Bo Gum, in “Record of Youth” (2020).
6. From fangirl to manager, Go Bo Gyeol successfully helped Kim Min Kyu become an idol in “The Heavenly Idol” (2023).
7. Kim Hye Won made Byeon Woo Seok an idol because his songs saved her from losing her dreams in “Lovely Runner.”
The enthusiasm received from the idol is certainly meaningful for fangirls. Being a fangirl is fine, as long as you pay attention to your idols in a positive way, yes. Are you also a fangirl like the drama characters above?
