10 Hunky K-Drama Actors Who Are Also Big Foodies

Park Hae-Jin

Apart from his brilliance in hit K-drama shows like “My Love From The Star” (2013), “Doctor Stranger” (2014), and “Bad Guys” (2014), Park Hae-Jin is also a certified foodie who once finished over 130 plates of sushi at a sushi restaurant, according to VLIVE. He was with friends at the time, but given the chance to eat sushi all by himself, the actor revealed he could consume 50 to 60 plates of it. He delights in exotic food. “One person eating one chicken is basic,” he said in an interview.

Nam Joo-Hyuk

“Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo” (2016) star Nam Joo Hyuk doesn’t like noodles, but he enjoys cooking tteokbokki or spicy rice cakes in his free time. His all-time favorite, however, is fried chicken. He loves it so much that fans have started calling him “chicken boy.” We can tell his role on the show as the partner of Kim Bok-Joo, who takes care of deliveries from her father’s chicken restaurant, was quite fitting!

Park Bo-Gum

“Hello Monster” (2015), “Reply 1988” (2016), and “Love In The Moonlight” (2016) actor Park Bo Gum impressed the film crew — and guests at Hyori’s Homestay 2 — where he made breakfast one morning with K-pop star Yoona. In an interview, he said, “I’m good at making fried tofu rice balls and rice cake soup. I can also make coffee and can definitely make rice.” On Instagram, actress Ryu Hye Young shared a photo of the actor consuming an amazing amount of food in just one sitting.

Ji Chang-Wook

Ji Chang-Wook, who became famous for his role on hit K-drama series “Smile Again” (2010), delights in scrumptious dishes such as grilled lamb, roast duck, and hot pot.

Lee Jong-Suk

Did you know that “Pinocchio” (2014) and “Doctor Stranger” (2014) lead actor Lee Jong-Suk has a coffee shop called Café 89 Mansion, situated on a busy street in Seoul, South Korea? Opened in 2017, he enjoys chilling at the café and making his own cup of coffee when he’s not busy filming for a project.

Seo Kang-Joon

“Are You Human?” (2018) actor Seo Kang-Joon became the talk of the town after he was seen devouring a watermelon on SBS reality show “Law of The Jungle” (2017). In a press conference, he shared that while he makes time for physical activities like tennis and yoga, he always ends up eating whatever he wants as a reward.

Lee Min-Ho

If you’re a fan of “The King: Eternal Monarch” (2020), Lee Min-Ho has probably brought on food cravings just by watching him enjoy fried chicken onscreen. In an interview with ISplus, the Korean foodie talked about his love for meat and revealed that he has a secret grilling method for each kind of meat. “Even if it’s the same meat product, you will marvel if you taste the meat I grill,” he declared.

Choi Si-Won

“My Fellow Citizens” (2019) actor and South Korean boy group Super Junior member Choi Si-Won is an ambassador of a famous instant noodle brand Mie Sedaap. He introduced Korean Spicy Chicken as a new variant in one of his commercials.

Park Seo-Joon

When fans are not swooning over Park Seo-Joon, they are most likely watching his mukbang videos on his YouTube vlog. In a video, he shared that due to his busy schedule, he usually eats his food fast. The actor prefers to experiment with beef dishes rather than pork. “I’m a bit better with beef because timing is very crucial with beef, and pork takes a while to get cooked,” he said. However, he can also make his tummy happy with pork perked up with soybean sprouts in lettuce.

Lee Seung-Gi

“Love Forecast” (2015) and “The Princess and the Matchmaker” (2018) actor Lee Seung-Gi was on the South Korean reality cooking show “Three Meals A Day”. The mushroom radish rice and spicy codfish stew that he cooked certainly left everyone wanting more!
