Actors Hyun Bin, Jang Dong Gun, and Cha Seung Won have kicked off summer blockbuster season in Korea with action-packed films which range from historical period assassination to a cross-dressing detective.

The overlap of the entertainment industry in Korea is astonishing. Actors and actresses are often placed alongside K-Pop idols for projects, leading to crossover which is almost as impossible to understand as some K-Drama relationship charts.

Here is a look at some of the prominent figures in K-Pop, K-Drama, and Korean movies who help to connect Jang Dong Gun, Hyun Bin, and Cha Seung Won.

Jang Dong Gun is the star of the film noir, “No Tears for the Dead” which was released in U.S. and Canadian theaters on June 20.

While he plays a cold blooded assassin in the film, Jang Dong Gun is well loved by K-Drama viewers for his portrayal as Kim Do Jin in “A Gentleman's Dignity.”

Do Jin is a successful architect in his forties who falls in love with a high school ethics teacher. During the course of his relationship with the teacher, he discovers that he has an illegitimate child.

His son Colin is portrayed by CNBLUE's Lee Jong Hyun, who reluctantly befriends his classmate, Kim Dong Hyub (Kim Woo Bin).

Kim Woo Bin made guest appearances on “To The Beautiful You” before starring opposite Lee Jong Suk in “School 2013” and appearing in the popular teen drama “The Heirs.”

Kim Woo Bin also starred in the sequel to the 2001 film “Friend,” a film which also highlighted Jang Dong Gun in a starring role.
