InStyle rounds up dramaland’s leading men

Lee Sang-woo

A photo shoot where you can collect hot boys? Alright! Okay, so maybe that’s not the point of the spread, but when you group this many drama heroes into one delivery device, a girl can’t help but be a little greedy. InStyle decided to feature a whole bunch of TV’s leading men in a sports-themed shoot, in honor of the upcoming London Olympics. Um, I’m gonna go ahead and say they interpreted “sports” a little loosely. Unless they recently added cat-shooting to the games, in which case I’m out. Don’t hurt the kitties!

Lee Sang-woo, is that you? Humona. Forget chefs and horse healers. Get this guy a sweaty athlete role already! Good grief. Lee Dong-wook (Scent of a Woman) is busy being a variety leading man these days, but it’d be nice to see him back in dramaland, perhaps sans bizarre boating outfit.

Lee Jin-wook is heating it up with Jung Yumi in tvN’s I Need Romance 2012, but so far I mostly want to maim his character and give him a good shake. I’m in that drama for his BFF Kim Ji-seok who needs a leading role, stat. But Lee looks adorable and cheeky here.

Lee Min-ki left a lasting impression with the extended cameo of the year in Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, and has a movie with Kim Min-hee in the works. Park Gun-hyung is enjoying a huge surge in popularity with his Perfect Man doctor role in the Kim Sun-ah drama I Do, I Do, and though he’s not the hero, he’s certainly the one getting all the “Where Can I Find a Man Like This” headlines in entertainment news. Psst…he doesn’t exist. But Park Gun-hyung is pretty durned cute.

Lee Seon-kyun is currently headlining the medical drama Golden Time, and being his usual amazeballs self. Though I have no idea what he’s doing in that picture, and what the hell it has to do with the olympics. Just don’t hurt Fluffy. He wants to be your friend!

*scrolls back up to stare at Lee Sang-woo* There goes my day…

    Too much hottness. Lol.

    • 1.1 pabo ceo reom

      Omg Lee Sang-woo is so hot. But that was obvious right? Ok moving on.

  2. Mystisith

    I love Lee Sang-woo but the man is too popular with the ladies. Same thing with Lee Min-ki.
    I choose Park Gun-hyung to keep me company for this summer: I have absolutely no problems with Docs without borders. :) OK. I just crushed big time on that guy…

    • 2.1 Shiku

      Darm you beat me to it.

    • 2.2 Ivoire

      He is good looking…

    • 2.3 Ani

      Hey… Park Gun-hyung was mine since Innocent Steps…. But I be willing to share I swears it. I swears it. Hahaha. Glad to see other people find him yummy too.

    • 2.4 daniela

      Hmm, should we play a game and the winner takes him?

      Lee Sang-woo – man, he’s hot, to hot<3

      "Lee Seon-kyun – hough I have no idea what he’s doing in that picture, and what the hell it has to do with the olympics. Just don’t hurt Fluffy. He wants to be your friend!" I think he just got lost in there. But the cat is so sweet.

    • 2.5 zsa

      I’d take Kim Ji Seok any time….when he appears, I forget who is the main lead…darnest smile ever…LDW is hot, but his fashion sense is usually off…so he does look better in dramas when he doesn’t get to choose his wardrobe,,,hehe

  3. tweedledi

    LOVE.

    • 3.1 Kiara

      Me Some Lee Sang-woo

  4. cindy

    I was so happy to read Lee Sang Woo got a lead but don’t rmbr a drama in making called IN Style … oh shucks, just a magazine!

    I like like LSW and can’t wait to for the day he gets all the leading man love calls!!

    • 4.1 Shiku

      He is the lead in the upcoming saguek ‘Horse Doctor.’

      • 4.1.1 jomo

        YES!
        Can’t wait.
        But is he the lead?

        • 4.1.1.1 YY

          No. The horse is the lead.

          • 4.1.1.1.1 YY

            I should explain that “The Horse Doctor” refers to the horse that just happens to be a doctor.

          • 4.1.1.1.2 Brandi

            LOL.

            I’ll watch this! Sounds way better than Dr. Jin.

          • 4.1.1.1.3 jomo

            Dr. Ed?

          • 4.1.1.1.4 Kiara

            Lol YY so I guess the creepy fetus is the lead in Dr Jin then.

      • 4.1.2 OxyR

        ugghh.. no.. he’s the 2nd lead.

    • 4.2 kdfan

      Love love love LSW! too bad he’s going to be 2nd lead int he coming drama.

      • 4.2.1 Jean Grey

        LSW was also 2nd lead in The Feast of the Gods, but… in the end… ; – ) But after this boxing shot, stop putting him in sensitive 2nd lead man role – just make him the main man already.

        • 4.2.1.1 mita

          I don’t think he’s 2nd lead in Feast of the God. His character is more defined and interesting in that drama and the story focuses more on his character than the other guy. Just because JSW gets first the girl doesn’t mean he’s the main lead there, what’s more important who gets the girl at the end.

          • 4.2.1.1.1 jomo

            Nooooo!
            Not the shipping wars here!
            I was injured at the one on soompi! Still have flashbacks…
            LOL

          • 4.2.1.1.2 hoang

            agree with u mita!!!!!!!!! the one who has the main actress in the end is the main actor.

  5. mtoh

    Instyle with style for summer.

  6. kelinci biru

    This is a good thing to wake up to. Good morning/afternoon/night everyone!!

  7. becca_boo

    Okay, who’s birthday is it?

  8. come2noona

    Love it!!!!

  9. Will work for soju

    I have to say that Lee Min-ki has the most excuisite profile.

    • 9.1 zsa

      …and the sexiest lips…I nearly fainted watching him in his magician get up in ‘chilling romance’….this guy is sexy…

      • 9.1.1 Brandi

        … and crazy. I think I’ve seen him wearing just about anything.

        Not that it’s a bad thing, though. I can totally get with that.

  10. 10 Ennayra

    Thanks for this post! I love Lee Min-ki. :-)

  11. 11 SopHEE

    Did they chose this men based on their name (besides the fact that they’re all leading men,hot and gorgeous, and drool inducing…)? Anyway~ there are 5 “LEEs” and 3 of them has “WOO” in their name…

    • 11.1 Brandi

      Lee/Li/Rhee (or any variation thereof) is the most common surname in the world, so yeah … that’s just coincidence.

  12. 12 vrosemarie

    I’d love to be BTS on this shoot! I’d do anything, dust the director’s chair, make coffee, hold up sound equipment… XD

  13. 13 Brittni

    I think the gun may have to do with the starting pistol? I don’t watch the games very often but don’t they shoot a gun to start the races?

  14. 14 asianromance

    so many good-looking guys in one post!!! *fans self*

  15. 15 subject

    You can keep them all, just leave Lee Sun Gyun to me. Yummy! Thanks! :)

  16. 16 FunnyBunny

    Lee Jin-wook *sigh* How can someone be so quirky, weird and sexy all in one photo? I don’t get it, but I still love him ^_^

    *Possible spoilers ahead if you’re not up to date on I Need Romance 2012*
    GF, your comment about Yoon Seok-hyun made me laugh. Yes his character is no Kim Boong-do (Do those even exist in reality?) but he’s had some moments to be awesome in his own way. Of course those in no way make up for all the times he’s totally sucked at being a boyfriend/bff/oppa/sex buddy/whatever-the-hell-they-decide-to-be-next (sorry but it changes so often it’s hard to keep it all straight, I’m getting relationship whiplash from those two)

    He’s definitely one of those guys who refuses to share what he’s feeling… ever. It’s appealing because it keeps you on edge and you can’t quite figure him out. It’s also infuriating for the exact same reason. Half the time I try to read between the lines and understand him from his actions alone. The other half I contemplate throwing things at my computer screen while yelling “For the love of god just say something, you stupid man!” at the top of my lungs. I’m not sure which side will win out, for the sake of my computer I hope it’s the first one.

    On a slightly related note, any chance you or JB could recap I Need Romance 2012? I know, I know, the whole space time continuum kind of gets in the way. Even if either of you recap it after it’s finished, or do like a condensed “weecap” as you guys call it. It doesn’t really matter to me, I’d just like to hear your thoughts on the drama.

    • 16.1 Lemon

      Exactly! I find his character in I Need Romance to be frustrating.

      And I don’t understand why Jung Yumi’s character just wouldn’t move on from him. But I’m glad she’s slowly moving on. I’m totally watching for the other guy, who is so so cute! Kim Ji Seok! <3

    • 16.2 daniela

      I don’t really care about his character in INR2012 cause he’s just a s..-machine there, with brain only for his work.

  17. 17 estel

    Yespleasethankyou!

    Mmmmmmm-mmmmmmmm!

  18. 18 Jaylee

    Park gun hyung… YUMMYYY~

  19. 19 ck1Oz

    Lee Sang Woo looks hot and I normally don’t like him.I am looking at it on the phone.Is it my phone but is there something wrong with the sternum ?He’s actually more macho here than Wookie whom I normally go hubba hubba over :-)

    • 19.1 daniela

      It’s the light, i think. It does look strange even an my laptop.

  20. 20 janet

    the Voice. mmmm. <3

  21. 21 hanie

    All I need is Lee Minki. The rest are for you guys.
    not fair!! I need too see Lee Minki’s beautiful face. But at least they give me that awesome jawline.

  22. 22 canxi

    I’m down for this photo shoot. Haha, I think all of Lee Dong Wook’s recent photo shoots have him in that preppy style, not that I’m complaining! He wears it well.

    You all know how I feel about Lee Jin Wook (MINE.) <3

    & Lee Min Ki looks extra dreamy too! I love that they paired him up with fencing since it's pretty regal, yet, kinda dangerous…just like him. You know what I mean?

    The others look great as well =D! I totally wish there were more guys in this shoot, but who knows what would happen to me if that was the case. Probably dead from too many feelings.

    • 22.1 maria

      yeah, no complaints center right hurrrr. hehehehe!

      so much so that i am actually waving aside the niggling feeling that i feel the SAME FREAKIN WAY about jin wook’s character on I need Romance 2012. i literally have NOT entertained the voices in my head that say, “god, idiot move, buddy.” hehehehe someone tell me why his character’s so frustrating! …the smile is too distracting! TOO!!! DISTRACTING!!!!!

  23. 23 anna

    No, Lee Seon-kyun, no! Don’t point the gun at the cat! Put the gun down!

  24. 24 KDrama Fan

    Thanks GF!

    Great photos except for Lee Jin-wook’s. Looks like he’s been shaken up already.

  25. 25 Phyllis

    Something should be said for the wonderful photography! First picture is the best hands down! I like that Lee Sang-woo’s picture is in red, white, and blue.

    I have to agree with ck10z. It looks like he’s had heart surgery, but the cut is jagged… I was going to say that he is one actor who is not so awfully skinny. However, he looks thinner here than when he was in “Feast of the God’s.” Cannot wait for his next role!!!

  26. 26 Ivoire

    Thank you! Off to read…

  27. 27 Noelle

    Oh my (Takei style)… hello. Yea I don’t understand what the Voice is doing but he is gorgeous so I’ll ignore the tiny WTF voice in the back of my head.

  28. 28 jomo

    Can I swear?
    Holy SHIT, LSW is hot!
    although his chest is kind Pirates of the Caribbean in the moonlight in that photo. Kinda strange.

    No problem, I just cut that part out.

    And Team GYNO is looking good there. I LOVE HIM.

  29. 29 ninji

    Poor Park not being a Lee. Hihi.

  30. 30 BellaMafia

    I watched feast of the gods, just finished Don’t Hesitate today (awesome!), still can’t get enough of LSW. Definitely something wrong with my brain.

    • 30.1 jomo

      No, something is RIGHT with your brain.
      What is Don’t Hesitate?

      • 30.1.1 BellaMafia

        Daily drama (98 epis/30 mins). It’s makjang, but I like it a lot. His character in there is just unbelievably awesome (remind me of Do Yoon but warmer character). Viki has it if you want to watch.

        • 30.1.1.1 kdfan

          LSW is smoking hot in FOTG, love him there in EVERY scene.

          • 30.1.1.1.1 jomo

            He melted my brain, I tell you.

  31. 31 Lise

    Am totally not enjoying the 2 lead guys and girl’s acting in I need romance 2, season 1 leads were so much better. The storyline is def an improvement on s1 (which i also found to b awesome btw) but the leads’ execution- not buying it! Am actually enjoying the other 2 girls and their crazy r/ships much more!

  32. 32 bigwink

    Awww you left Exo K

  33. 33 altohime

    You forgot EXO-K…. New rookie group from SM. They are super adorable.

  34. 34 식카

  41. 41 candycow

    hot! but i can’t stand how lee min ki is not holding the french grip properly >.<

  42. 42 Blueskymaiden

    Lee Seon-kyun – sorry but there is absolutely nothing hot about this guy at all. Had to fast forward through his scenes in Coffee Prince – simply does nothing for me. Sorry but he just doesn’t belong with the other hotties.

    • 42.1 melica

      To me, LSK is far and away hottest and most interesting in the bunch.

      • 42.1.1 Niki

        oh yes~~♥
        There’s something absolutely magnetic about LSK. I love his chemistry with Seo Woo in Paju despite it being a controversial movie.

  43. 43 Christina

    Isn’t there a sport where you shoot stuff?

  44. 44 Alligator

    This post totally made my day! :) hehehe

  45. 45 redfox

    hmm the last picture…. cat-apult?
    I honestly just can´t tell. what on earth….

  46. 46 foolmoon

    Lee Sang-woo, The Man who Save Feast of God!!
    He woo-s me with his smile ^_^

  47. 47 Steph

    Yes please. I’ll have all of it, with a side of more!

  48. 48 creidesca

    there’s supposed to be 13 photos or so for this shoot…I think we are still missing some drama male leads? Or has InStyle not released them yet? Articles mention of Bae Soo Bin for archery…

    • 48.1 Nita

      Exo K was also featured in this photo shoot! :D

    • 48.2 Nita

      Exo K was also featured in this photo shoot! :D

  49. 49 Niki

    oh…Feast For The Eyes = Lee Sang Woo~♥
    Feast for the Ears = Lee Seon Kyun~♥
    All that’s missing to complete my set is LSK’s bestie Uhm Force = Feast for Back Hugs~♥

  50. 50 cinna

    haha its in my bookmarks now for when i wanna stare at hot guys <3~
