Between Idol and Actor: From Nana to G-Dragon
From ex-After School member Nana's The Scandal to Son Ye-jin, Lee Byung-hun of No Other Choice, Squid Game and BigBang's T.O.P: a relay along shared casts showing K-pop and K-drama are one world.
This course starts with Nana's role in The Scandal and moves station by station along shared casts — Son Ye-jin, Lee Byung-hun, Squid Game, T.O.P, BigBang and G-Dragon. Each stop is a casting overlap, never a private relationship, tracing how K-pop and K-drama draw on one shared talent pool strictly along career and work credits.
