There's always room for the biggest and brightest actors in Hollywood. For years and years, we've seen Asian stars take over Tinseltown with their impressive acting range, tenacity, and fight for representation. The South Korean actors we have for you down below each have had their own fair share of the coveted spotlight. While we're at it, it's fitting to also know that their influence in the global fashion scene is revolutionary as well.

In case you don't know it yet, Bae Doona has been the face of Louis Vuitton for four years now. Saint Laurent and Jimmy Choo made an absolute right choice to stand by Claudia Kim's side all throughout her reign in the Marvel and Fantastic Beast universe! Speaking of Marvel, Hollywood newcomer and Chanel brand ambassador Park Seo-joon is best known for his dramas but soon enough you'll know him as one of the stellar actors that make up the cast of Captain Marvel 2!

Take a look at the gallery down below and let this guide serve as a refresher for your K-drama obsessed self.
