As of 2024, Choo Young-woo, Bae Hyun-sung, and Park Ji-hoon are the actors who have shown the most outstanding performances and are considered the new troika. They have the same thing in common that they are expected to do as much in the future as they have shown so far, combining not only the brilliant visuals as an actress, but also acting and star quality.

Season 2 of the Netflix series "Kyungsung Creature" and the JTBC drama "Passembly Family" were introduced, and they played the villain "Seungjo" and the hurtful but bright "Kang Hae-joon" respectively, proving their acting spectrum to the point of being confused whether they are the same person.
In addition, he had a busy year, appearing in Season 2 of Netflix's "Hell" and tvN's "Love on a Single Tree Bridge." Bae Hyun-sung's strength is his big eyes that can capture a variety of emotions in abundance and his solid physicality created by steady weight training.
