Is Kim Soo Hyun doing a Daniel Radcliffe? The 29-year-old actor has made a name for himself playing cute and dorky roles, from a geeky student (Dream High) to an adorable alien (My Love from the Star). But in his new action-thriller Real, he does a 180 — shedding his togs and baring his tush to play an ambitious underworld broker. Sounds like someone who went from boy wizard to all-grown-up, slipping into his birthday suit for his role as a psychiatric patient in Equus.



Unfortunately, for all Soo Hyun’s um, sacrifice, Real bombed at the box office and was slammed with bad reviews from both fans and critics alike, who pegged it as one of the worst films in Korean history. One netizen called it “the worst cheap porn ever made.” Ouch.
