6 K-Dramas Actors Making Their Comeback in 2026

Описание: If you've been wondering where all your favorite K-Drama actors disappeared to, 2026 is about to answer that question in the best way possible. We're talking about major stars who've been MIA for YEARS finally making their long-awaited returns to the screen.

Nam Joohyuk has been gone for three years dealing with a false bullying scandal and military service, but he's coming back with Netflix's East Palace - and trust me, the behind-the-scenes drama with that massive set fire is almost as intense as the show itself. Then there's Kim Jiwon, who left us hanging after Queen of Tears, now returning as a genius surgeon nicknamed "the mad dog of the operating room" in Doctor X. The teaser that dropped last month shows her walking into a corrupt hospital in a black leather coat instead of the traditional white coat, and fans are already losing their minds.

But here's the wildest part - Han Sohee isn't just making one comeback, she's doing THREE projects at once. Her crime thriller Project Y hits theaters on January 21st, she's filming Solo Leveling with Byeon Wooseok starting in April, and she's got The Intern remake with Choi Minsik coming later this year. After all the personal controversies and drama with her relationship, she's clearly not holding back.
We've also got Ahn Hyoseop returning after being away since 2023 with Sold Out Again Today, Song Kang jumping back in after military discharge with the musical drama Four Hands, and Lee Joongi coming back after a mysterious two-year break for Gyeongbokgung Detective Agency.

Some of these actors vanished because of military service, others because of scandals or personal choices, but they're ALL coming back in 2026 with projects that might be the biggest of their careers. Which comeback are you most excited for? Let me know in the comments!
