Kim Min Suk
Kim Min Suk appeared in tvN’s one-act project “Drama Stage” where he cross-dressed and showed just how beautiful he is. In the drama, Kim Min Suk disguises himself as a woman in order to withdraw money from an ATM without getting caught. The drama played up how he was acting tough and “manly” while dressed as a stunning woman.
Kim Min Suk wore a wig, eyeliner, stockings, and a miniskirt and made many hearts flutter when he flipped his long brown hair. During an interview, Kim Min Suk shared that he didn’t know how hard it was to wear stockings. He said, “It was awkward at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was pretty. It was a fun experience.”
Yoo Seung Ho
Actor Yoo Seung Ho cross-dressed for the first time in the 2016 film “Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River.” In the film, he plays Kim Seon Dal, a legendary con artist who tricked the king and sold a river with no owner. In the film, Yoo Seung Ho disguises himself as a woman in a beautiful hanbok (traditional Korean outfit).
However, Yoo Seung Ho has expressed his disappointment as he shared that he originally thought he would look pretty, but in the end, he still felt like he looked like a man. Ra Mi Ran responded, “He is ranked No. 1 among us.” On the other hand, Go Chang Suk agreed with Yoo Seung Ho and said, “He looked like a man wearing a skirt.”
Ji Sung
In MBC’s “Kill Me, Heal Me,” Ji Sung played Cha Do Hyun, a man with seven personalities. One of his seven personalities is a 17-year-old high school girl named Ahn Yo Na. Ahn Yo Na is a girl who is more interested in her looks than her studies and who chases after idols.
Ji Sung perfectly portrayed the role of a mischievous high school girl who is unpredictable. Ji Sung, who is known for his “kissable lips,” was praised for his performance and transformation. His bright pink lips became Ahn Yo Na’s trademark and the lip tint he wore even sold out. The lip tint was released in 2013 and was not well known until Ji Sung used it in the drama a year later.

In an interview, Seo Kang Joon shared, “In high school, there were cross-dressing competitions and I was always nominated, so I had to participate.” Because of this, he wasn’t embarrassed and walked around comfortably.
