Being sexy can be defined on so many different levels. Confidence, passion, being considerate and kind – it really does take a lot. All of the actors on this list have exuded exactly what it takes to be considered sexy, and it’s only halfway through the year! Here are 17 of them.
Disclaimer: List focuses on main male leads and not secondary actors. Also, list is in no particular order!
1. GOT7’s Jinyoung
GOT7’s Jinyoung in “Yumi’s Cells 2” has stolen the hearts of many, making him quite the heartthrob this year. His role as the sweet and considerate Yoo Babi, who is irrevocably in love with Yumi (Kim Go Eun), basically has no flaws. The director of the series had wanted to show a character who was the world’s kindhearted guy, which Jinyoung is obviously doing a great job of portraying! It’s really no surprise here that the Yoo Babi fanclub continues to grow weekly.

2. Ahn Bo Hyun
Ahn Bo Hyun has been keeping himself busy these past couple of years as he has taken on multiple roles while making great strides into becoming a very sought-after actor. His large stature and heart-stopping charm have definitely helped him become very popular. His particular role as Do Bae Man in “Military Prosecutor Doberman” is one of the most charismatic roles in a K-drama this year. He plays a prosecutor who at first seems very superficial and cold but later turns into a lovable character. It’s also a given that Ahn Bo Hyun in military uniform is a look we can 100 percent get behind!

3. Son Suk Ku
Son Suk Ku is a must on this list, as he played the male lead of “My Liberation Notes” and literally took South Korea and the world by storm. No one could have anticipated the huge impact that an alcoholic man, who falls head over heels in love with a regular girl, would have in K-dramaland. Not only did he have his first-ever starring male lead K-drama role, but his new movie “The Outlaws 2” has garnered over 12 million moviegoers. This is Son Suk Ku’s year, and he is already confirmed for another project that many are over the moon about!
4. Ahn Hyo Seop
“A Business Proposal” is the rom-com series of 2022. Ahn Hyo Seop as chaebol heir Kang Tae Moo was perfectly handsome, charming, and sexy, sweeping everyone off their feet. His reliance, honesty with his feelings, and overall aura while sporting a three piece suit made him a definite hunk. Not to mention, his one-liners while trying to win over Shin Ha Ri’s (Kim Sejeong‘s) heart were very compelling. It was the perfect role for him, and every scene he was in only set off fireworks.
5. Nam Joo Hyuk
Set in the late 1990s, “Twenty Five, Twenty One” is a series starring Nam Joo Hyuk as Baek Yi Jin, a reporter who is trying to get his family back together after being struck by a financial crisis. He falls in love with Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri), an aspiring fencer. Baek Yi Jin is a character that many have felt all kinds of sentiments over, as his story was a rocky one. Nam Joo Hyuk was so effectively able to show this sensitive and emotional side of his acting abilities that he is most definitely a candidate for this list.
6. Kim Young Dae
Considered a rookie actor, Kim Young Dae has impressed many with his role this year, starring alongside Lee Sung Kyung in the rom-com series “Sh**ting Stars.” Kim Young Dae was so delightful and convincing in this role as the hotshot actor who is madly in love with the head of PR.

Park Hyung Sik in “Soundtrack #1” as Han Sun Woo, a tender and warmhearted photographer who only has eyes for his best friend Lee Eun Soo (Han So Hee), is everything.

In very Park Hyung Sik fashion, fans were able to see his soft and sentimental acting through this role.
8. Rowoon
What is a sexiest actors list without the mention of SF9‘s Rowoon? In the fantasy series “Tomorrow,” Rowoon plays Choi Joon Woong, a human who gets into an accident and ends up joining forces with a couple of grim reapers. Seeing him work to try and save the lives of people who are struggling to make it through life is a touching story and one that was beyond emotional. The story brought healing and depth, and with Rowoon in the starring role, there were some obvious bonus factors – one being the fact that he looks breathtaking in a suit!
9. Lee Joon Gi
There is something magnetically charming about Lee Joon Gi whenever he stars in a series. He has the ability to pull his viewers in, making them engaged and emotionally invested in his role and the storyline. His role as Kim Hee Woo in “Again My Life” is no different.

His convincing acting skills and ability to pull off both casual and formal attire are absolutely perfection.

11. Hwang In Yeop

Yoon Kye Sang has come a long way since his very villainous role as Jang Chen in “The Outlaws” movie.
