There’s been much talk about certain K-drama actors and their amazing speaking voices. From So Ji-sub to Kim Min-jae, Woo Do-hwan, and Yeo Jin-gu — yeah, that’s only four and there are a lot more examples out there. I don’t think it’s essential for an actor to have an amazing speaking voice — in fact, most often I won’t pay attention to a speaking voice. Unless it’s one of those voices that hits your ears and makes some sort of angelic noise.
This isn’t an “only pick one” post — we can just chat about the speaking voices we love without choosing a favorite — but yeah, mine is Woo Do-hwan’s. As the saying goes, I could listen to him read the phone book.
Which actors/actresses have some of your favorite distinctive speaking voices?
