As K-drama stars are public figures, they must maintain their almost perfect images in front of the crowd. These K-drama heartthrobs like Jo Jung Suk, Doh Kyung Soo, and more don't need to be that tall to be loved and adored by others. Their average heights make them authentic and attractive in the eyes of their fans.
Get to know these Korean actors who look shorter but captivate the viewers' attention with their strong presence on screen.
Jo Jung Suk
With his humor and smart acting, "Hospital Playlist" lead actor Jo Jung Suk has become K-drama fans' favorite star. With more than ten series under his belt and several awards from his previous drama portrayals, Jo Jung Suk's height of 5'9" does not bother fans, for he always conquers the screens with his big acting performances.
Ji Sung
A-list actor Ji Sung who has been in the industry for more than a decade, never looks small in front of the screen or the public. He has an intimidating aura that makes him look superior in every work he does.

Doh Kyung Soo
As an idol-actor, EXO's Doh Kyung Soo has a lot of pressure in his career. Given that South Korea has become one of the "Beauty Capitals of the World," certain criteria for beauty standards are made for both females and males.
With his height of 5'8", Doh Kyung Soo might look smaller in the eyes of some, but the "It's Okay, That's Love" actor dominated both the music and acting scenes with the bigger steps he took throughout his journey as an artist. His height may be average, but it is one of his special features that many people adore.
Oh Jung Se
Standing 5'9" tall, Oh Jung Se's height already looks tall to others, but it is just the standard or average height that most Korean women prefer for men.
Many were blown away by his immersive acting in his drama "It's Okay To Not Be Okay," "The Good Detective," "Jirisan" and more. Oh Jung Se greatly impacted the viewers' perspective when it came to acting and established a high-profile image for his versatility.
Lee Je Hoon
Joining the list is another talented South Korean actor, Lee Je Hoon. It has been said that the "Taxi Driver" lead star has an average height of 5'9". He entered Korea's height standard for men, but beyond that, the male celebrity is constantly making bigger steps towards his career as an artist.
