Kim Da Mi, who swept various film festivals as a new actress in the movie, The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion, made a home run with her first drama, Itaewon Class. Though it was her first drama project, the actress challenged herself by taking up an unconventional character role.
Depicting the role of a sociopath Jo Yi Seo, the actress delivers a stellar performance which satisfied the viewers. Kim Da Mi might not have long list of films or dramas in her acting portfolio but she has staged wonderful acts in all her roles and is definitely the actress to look out for in the future.
Han So Hee
The recently concluded show, The World of the Married which wrote new records, also led viewers to discover the talented Han So Hee. Enacting the part of a mistress, who is involved in acts of adultery, the actress appears hateful to the core.
Effusing vicious expressions, she does not falter even at the sight of seasoned actress, Kim Hee Ae as their characters face-off in the drama. Contrary to her character in the series, the actress has a kind personality. Recently, after the success of The World of the Married, she has been receiving a lot of offers for new projects.

Not many on-screen credits to her name, but Jeon Mi Do is already a renowned name in the musical world. She has also won multiple Best Actress awards for her musical stages. Therefore, it is quite interesting to see her getting nominated in this category.
Needless to say, the actress puts on a flawless portrait of her character in Hospital Playlist, even if she is a rookie when it comes to dramas. As Chae Song Hwa, she is a ray of sunshine who emanates all the warm feelings.
Jeon Yeo Bin
Jeon Yeo Bin is that jewel who was found through Be Melodramatic. The actress has already captured the hearts of the critics, and impressed the audiences as Lee Eun Jung in Be Melodramatic.

Jung Ji So
Transforming from the facade of bright eldest daughter of Lee Sun Gyun and Jo Yeo Jung in Parasite, Jung Ji So is a girl with a supernatural ability in the occult thriller, The Cursed.
Though still very young, the actress draws a range of emotions in her expressions. Her acting transition was so awe-inspiring, that it is difficult to tell that the rich elder daughter from the movie Parasite and the girl in The Cursed might be the same person.
