There's no doubt that Kim Tae Hee, Song Hye Kyo, and Jun Ji Hyun are considered the legendary trio of K-drama, as these three top stars set the bar high for female leads.

From hit projects one after the other, the Hallyu queens also scored top-tier endorsements, and their global popularity is beyond imagination.

However, as the years go by, new female stars and up-and-coming actresses are gaining the public's attention.

According to an online community, these three female South Korean stars are predicted to follow in the footsteps of Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Tae Hee, and Song Hye Kyo.

YoonA

Known as one of the members of the hit K-pop group Girls' Generation, she made her debut as an actress and singer in the same year she debuted in her group (2007). Whether its music, or acting, YoonA never fails to deliver an outstanding performance.

Interestingly, with her K-drama comeback in 2022, YoonA had a bold return when her series "Big Mouth" with Lee Jong Suk became one of the most watched series of the year.

Now, she is once again receiving huge attention from the public for her role as Cheon Sa Rang in "King the Land" with Lee Junho.

Apart from this, YoonA is also regarded as one of the full-fledged actresses; hence, the public sees her as one of the Hallyu Queens in the future.

Bae Suzy

Joining YoonA as the possible actress who could follow in the footsteps of K-drama's legendary trio is none other than Bae Suzy.

Like the 33-year-old actress, she also started her career in music and eventually landed roles in K-dramas and movies.

IU

Completing the future legendary trio of K-drama is IU. Her massive fan base only shows IU's influence on the public, making her one of the brand's favorite muses.
