[110210] The prospect for actor-dols this year? The weakest among IU, Shim Chang Min, and Jo Kwon is
Nowadays if we watch dramas on television, there is no rookie actor worth noticing. It is because of idols-turn-actors taking over the scene. They secure their popularity through music and entertainment programs, and after that apparently it is already set as a standard practice that they will make their debut as actors and start their individual activities. The evidence for that is the fact that we can see 13 actor-dols appearing in the dramas aired at the moment on the top three terrestrial broadcasting stations.
Sports Chosun picked out 6 of those actor-dols, and a team of 10 entertainment reporters will score each of them (10 being the highest score) based on these 5 categories: popularity as singer, acting ability, development potential in acting, fans loyalty and importance in a production. Then they combined the total scores and came out with an average score for each person. The result is that among those 6 people, 2 were considered strong, 3 were considered moderate, and 1 was considered weak.
* 2 Strong: If its like this, then a big welcome to acting! IU - Jo Kwon

2AM Jo Kwon followed closely from behind with a narrow difference in score. Jo Kwon, who covered various variety shows with his unique kkap in 2010, made his debut as an actor in MBCs sitcom All My Love. Although this is Jo Kwons first attempt at acting, he successfully showed his natural acting ability and therefore earned a score of 8.3. Excluding the importance in production category, his scores for the 4 other categories were easily over 8 points, which made him a front-runner among actor-dols.
* 3 Moderate: Passing marks as rookie actors. Shim Chang Min - Ham Eun Jung - Son Ga In
