People Are Talking About a 47-Year-Old Actor Playing a High School Student

The K-Drama industry does this again.

K-Drama fans are talking about actors being too old for young roles.

Someone posted about the K-Drama Perfect Crown on X, saying the actors looked out of place playing high school students. The post made fun of the actors.

More people joined the conversation and shared other examples, like Kim Hee Sun playing a high schooler at 38.

The lead actors in the 2012 drama A Gentleman’s Dignity played high schoolers in their 30s and 40s.

But one example is really funny: 47-year-old actor Cha Tae Hyun in a high school uniform.

This scene is from the 2023 K-Drama Moving. Viewers had strong opinions about the director's choice to use Cha Tae Hyun instead of a child actor. The other actors in the scene looked much younger, making it even more absurd.

Now that the scene is popular again, people are laughing at the casting choice. Some say the actor didn't want to play the role, but the director didn't listen. The high school scenes were very short.

The post has over 2.6 million views, making this casting choice a big part of the actor's legacy. It's still being talked about.
