Oh that clear, dewy skin and large doe eyes. It’s like staring into the eyes of an angel. But we digress. South Korean star Lee Hong-gi is also a celebrated singer and actor. The 29-year-old began his showbiz career as a child actor in 2002’s TV drama Magic Kid Masuri, and has since appeared in many productions including You’re Beautiful (2009) alongside CN Blue’s Jung Yong-hwa and actress Park Shin Hye, My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox (2010) with Lee Seung-Gi and Shin Min-ah and The Korean Odyssey that starred Lee Seung-gi, Cha Seung-won, Oh Yeon-seo.

Although we get distracted by Suga’s too-cute baby face, you should know not to underestimate this 26-year-old. After all, Suga is a crucial member of hit Korean group BTS and has also been recognised for his rapping, songwriting and producing abilities. Hailing from a lower income family in Daegu, South Korea, Suga’s journey with music began after he had heard the song Fly from Korean hip hop group Epik High when he was younger. This prompted him to learn rapping and music production that eventually led him to his achievements today. Besides his work with the group, Suga has also released his own solo mixtape, Agust D, in 2016 and has continued to find success as a lyricist and producer. Applause please.

Despite having prominent actor-director Clint Eastwood as his father (he’s the youngest son), Scott Eastwood started his acting career by attending castings with his given name, Scott Clinton Reeves. Fun fact, the 33-year-old auditioned for all his father’s movies, and was rejected for the Clint Eastwood-directed American Sniper. It was only in 2008 that he decided to celebrate his family legacy and go by his father’s last name. His gruff, manly features and muscled physique made him perfect for roles in movies such as Fury (2014), DC Comics’ Suicide Squad (2016) and Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018). He also acted as Taylor Swift’s love interest in her music video Wildest Dreams (BTW, he kisses her), and is the face of Davidoff Parfums’ Cool Water. According to IMDB, Scott, who has his own spirits brand, is slated to star in The Outpost alongside Orlando Bloom and The Manuscript with Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx.

Elegance is an attitude, and it’s an attitude that Taiwanese-Canadian actor Eddie Peng doesn’t seem to lack.

His role in Unbeatable had earned him his second Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards nomination. With his bad boy looks and bushy brows, Eddie is the face for multiple labels including Swiss watchmaker Longines, Japanese cosmetic label Kate and Chinese smartphone Vivo (ousting Song Joong-ki). He’s also the first Asian brand ambassador for French luxury brand Berluti. Impressive. We can’t wait for him to return to our screens with Cold War 3, which has a star-studded cast of Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Chow Yun-Fatt and Tony Leung.

Perhaps the most outspoken member of Korean boyband GOT7, Jackson Wang is a Hong Kong rapper and singer who is also known for his dancing and hosting abilities.
