6. Yook Sung Jae (BTOB)

Referring to Yook Sung Jae, the audience will probably remember the "beloved" Gong Yoo "dear grandson" of "Goblin". However, Yook Sung Jae used to "crush" the hearts of young audiences with the "male side" fever in "Who are You: School 2015", confronting the male lead "ten thousand people" Nam Joo Hyuk directly. Standing in the ranks of successful acting idols, Yook Sung Jae continuously received praise for each role.

In addition to Goblin and School 2015, Yook Sung Jae also caught the attention of a young cop in "The Village: Achiara’s Secret" or "young pilot" in "Plus Nine Boy". Through each role, the audience can see a brand new image of the young idol, making a bold mark on the actors born in 1995. With inherent talent, Yook Sung Jae sometimes makes the audience forget the "idol" label that has been with me for years.
