A-List Actors

Asian actors (in dramas and films) , are often trained in a wide range of talents (singing, dancing, acting), and their performances can be very expressive and emotional, often enhanced by traditional cultural contexts. 

In contrast, Western actors tend to favor more subtle and realistic performances, with an approach that is often more "down-to-earth," reflecting more diverse and complex narratives. 

The roles of Asian actors are often more idealized, while those of Western actors are more nuanced and imperfect. In addition to their distinct acting styles, Asian actors, particularly in Korea, have an extremely strong "star power," often fueled by their presence in multiple industries (music, television, film). They are often icons of popular culture, particularly in Asia, where they have a massive international fanbase. Their popularity is often cultivated by agencies that manage their image in both the media and on social networks.
