This channel Steeler TV is my new favourite thing on YouTube. There are history clips of K-actors and actresses (leads, supporting, and the occasional scene stealers) right from their very first projects to the most current ones. Pick any of your favourite actors or actresses and you’ll see a collection of their projects in less than 10 minutes (what a great time saver). It’s also super addictive so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What’s so interesting about these clips is you can see that some of them literally grow up on screen (Kim Min-jung and Yeo Jin-gu, for example, were actual toddlers when they debuted). Some have had longer careers than others so you’ll see some ancient dramas and movies of the 90s (I’ve had to stifle my laughter caused by the terrible hair and fashion). Some have always had that special spark even early in their careers, while others started from playing (very, very) small supporting roles before getting where they are now (Jung Woo has played gangsters number 10 to 1, it seems, before having his big break).
However my favourite kind of growth is reserved for those who started out really bad and cringe-worthy, and as they gained experience, they became better and better with each completed project. It is so satisfying to watch, and the best example is Seo Hyun-jin here (I still think that sageuk is her forte but she’s also deserving of her romcom queen status).
