If Korean Celebrities were Disney Characters: Frozen Edition


Have you watched the Disney classic ‘Frozen’? We are about to take it the K-Drama way again and trust me, you will love it!

Let’s do a little reminder: Frozen tells the story of Elsa, a queen with ice powers, who accidentally freezes her kingdom and flees. Her sister Anna sets out to bring her back, joined by Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and Olaf, a magical snowman. Through love and bravery, the sisters save their kingdom and mend their bond.

 

The story’s interesting, right? Let’s reimagine the 5 major characters as Korean celebrities. Leggo and you are about to be Starstruck.


Kim Tae Ri as Elsa

For Elsa let’s pick Kim Tae Ri from Twenty-five Twenty-one. She perfectly embodies Elsa's grace and inner turmoil. Like Elsa, who struggles to control her ice powers while carrying the burden of leadership, Kim Tae Ri’s character in the drama often faces deep emotional conflicts because of her fencing career, family issues and even love life. Perfect choice, right?


Kim Se Jeong as Anna

Wanna see Kim Tae Ri and Kim Se Jeong in the same drama? If directors won’t do that for us, I have got you. Let Kim Se Jeong be our Anna because in the Business Proposal, she gave us chaotic, bubbly energy, just like Anna, who probably wakes up every day singing “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Her determination in the series to take on the CEO’s love matches that of Anna’s and sincerely, if anyone could convince an ice queen to come home, it’s her.


Ahn Hyo Seop as Kristoff

You were expecting that, were you not? Who better fit for the role of Kristoff if not Ahn Yeo Seop? I mean In Business Proposal (yes, again), he was a cinnamon roll pretending to be tough, and let’s not forget his amazing ability to look confused, and that's Kristoff's energy right there. If you need someone to lug an ice block and accidentally fall in love with Anna, Hyo Seop’s your man.


Rowoon as Hans

Let’s face it! Hans is handsome, charming, and totally sus and Rowoon is nothing less than that. He just has this leading-man look and ability to throw in a sneaky smirk, as seen in Extraordinary You. Plus, you’d forgive him even after he leaves Anna to freeze because have you seen Rowoon smile? Evil never looked this handsome, you bet!


Yoo Jae Suk as Olaf

You probably don’t know who Yoo Jae Suk is if you are not into Korean comedy. He is a comedian, host and television personality. However, if you know him, you will agree with me that he will embody the role of Olaf perfectly. This man has mastered the art of being hilariously clueless while dropping gems of wisdom, and that’s just Olaf’s entire personality, isn’t it? So we have our Olaf right there!


This Frozen K-Drama cast just gave you the perfect K-Drama vibes, right? Was there any character I missed and which Disney Movie casting would you prefer I do next?
