arctic arts mainly houses actors that are also active as idols under sfe or its subsidiaries, however, other independent artists have already signed with the agency, and aa has expressed interest in scouting new young and independent actors soon.
park chaehwa
.·:*¨༺❆ chaehwa is currently a member of the co-ed duo olymp, but has expressed an interest in acting ever since her first debut in the girl group only1 back in 2012. landing small roles as side characters during her first groups activity, she had received a small taste of the acting industry, but had to let go of that dream once her group disbanded. it was only in 2021 when she'd finally pick up acting again.
olymp is currently on a hiatus as she explores the acting industry more, filming for her first big main role in 2022 and officially signing with artic arts.
kim beomjae
.·:*¨༺❆ beomjae is a member of sup3r!n0va and discovered his love for acting through his groups activities. shining especially during the groups cinematic music videos, he'd soon prove himself a talented actor and would land his first acting role shortly after debut as a side character in a romance k-drama, and another one in the following year.
while his minor appearances in slice of life and romantic dramas had given him quite the popularity boost, he'd score his biggest role in 2022, playing the antagonist and this a main character in an upcoming action drama. this role, at first, came rather surprising to many, until beomjaes true potential was shown through this evil and quite unhinged character - making his and his groups fanbase grow rapidly.
won changmin
.·:*¨༺❆ changmin is best known as seven of the boy group sup3r!nova, as well as for his chaotic vlogs and occasional live streams. when artic arts was first established and changmin was announced to be signed under the label, fans were struck with confusion. changmin had not acted until then, at least not in korea (he had done a few commercials in canada when he was a child), and so far there was no announcement of him having scored a role anywhere.
unknown to the public, changmin was preparing for his very first role, and a big one at that. he was going to be the main character in a bl drama, something that would soon start plenty of controversy.
choi taeyoung
.·:*¨༺❆ choi taeyoung isn't an idol, nor was he connected to sfe or it's subsidiaries in any way. taeyoung was a known actor and heartthrob, having played the lead in many well known and loved romance dramas before, and especially known for his frequent appearances in boys love shows.
arctic arts had never planned to sign non-idols this early, but he piqued the companies interest when he played the second main character in an upcoming bl- the same one changmin was starring in. and so, he was asked to join the company, to which he agreed- most likely because of sfes queer friendly image, something taeyoung had to secretly fight with for a long time.
