May 17th is Coming of Age Day in Korea and with those stars that were born in 1990 in mind, 10 reporters were tasked with giving ratings (max 10 points) and judge their potential to become big stars in future. The stars were picked regardless of whether they were singers or actors.

1. YoonA of SNSD 91 points ★★★★★ (1990.5.30)

Picture
The only one who received near full marks from everyone. Besides her good looks, she possess decent acting ability. Although she seemingly lacks the variety element in Family Outing 2, it hasn’t been enough to hurt her charisma or reputation.

2. Park Shin Hye 80 points ★★★★☆ (1990.2.18)

Picture
Successfully ditched her child star tag and gained popularity through her role inYou’re Beautiful. Most felt that she can handle both the innocence of a young girl and sexy charisma of a woman with ease while her acting skills is in the upper range. Not just acting, Park Shin Hye can also sing and dish out dance moves. Most harbored anticipation about her activities in the acting-singing field.

3. Shin Se Kyung 74 points ★★★★☆ (1990.7.29)

Picture
With her sensual and innocent looks coupled with a sexy body, she has attracted much attention in the earlier half of 2010. She has gained a lot of points because of her stable acting ability in Queen Seon Duk and High Kick Through the Roof in the past year. Her popularity in the sitcom has also seen her brush off CF Queen Kim Tae Hee and become the new darling for numerous advertisers.

4. Park Bo Young 73 points ★★★★☆ (1990.2.12)

Picture
Exceptional acting ability and her youthful looks has seen her outshine her same-age peers. Although she has been plagued by a contract dispute with her management recently, they felt that she will be able to gain attention once again by acting in similiar dramas/movies like her past hit movie, Speed Scandal.

5. Sooyoung of SNSD 70 points ★★★☆☆ (1990.2.10)

Picture
With her slim bodyframe and an enviable height of 1.70m, she has been the center of much attention despite being in a large girl group. Her wittiness in variety shows is also a major plus point and she also shines with her frank personality.

6. Sunhwa of Secret 65 points ★★★☆☆ (1990.10.6)

Picture
Has left an impression with her “White Paper” character in Invincible Youth. But she is kind of restricted by the limited popularity of Secret. If Secret is able to make it big with their music, Sunhwa will be able to achieve more success.

7. Junho of 2PM 65 points ★★★☆☆ (1990.1.25)



Picture
Has the highest score among his same-age male peers. He has really become the No.1 of nunas with his healthy image and adorable eye smile in Dream Team 2. Although he is being overshadowed by Nichkhun and Taecyeon from his group at the present moment, there’s a high possibility that he will surpass them in future.

8. Seungri of Big Bang 56 points ★★☆☆☆ (1990.12.12)

Picture
Besides being able to sing and dance, Seungri also has the ability to make people laugh with ease. He is no doubt the one who’s overshadowed by practically everyone in Big Bang, but if he can find a variety show that can allow him to grow, he will definitely unleash his limitless potential.

9. Lee KiKwang of BEAST 56 points ★★☆☆☆ (1990.3.30)

Picture
Although he has left a good image through his role in High Kick Through the Roof, it’s that normal “next-door little brother” image that will become a big obstacle to him advancing to the next level.

10. Lee Hong Ki of F.T. Island 56 points ★★☆☆☆ (1990.3.2)

Picture
His biggest advantage is his pretty boy image. But sad to say, no matter how much effort he puts in through his music, acting and variety shows, there hasn’t been a breakthrough nor get much attention from others, other than his fans.

The above are what 10 reporters think overall. What do you think?
