We have seen and simped for many main CEO leads in K-Dramas. The ideal boyfriends who take care of and love the female leads with all their hearts.

But what if the CEO isn't a good boy? What if he is a vicious villain instead?

Here are the Top 3 CEOs villains in K-Dramas that fans loved the most.

"Strong Girl Nam-soon"- Ryoo Si-oh

Ryoo Si-oh has recently joined the race, so we have placed him on the top. Despite being an antagonist, he quickly captured the attention. Even before the premier of "Strong Girl Nam-soon".

The actor, Byeon Woo-seok, rose to fame after "20th Century Girl". Where he played the role of Poong Woon-hoo, a sweet gentleman. The shift from a high school sweetheart to a psychopath CEO surely caught the attention.

Ryoo Si-oh had a rough past which made him obsessed with strength. He created and funded a drug that could help him obtain strength. When he met Nam-soon, he was fascinated by her strength and wanted her at his side. We got to see a soft side of his whenever he was around Nam-soon, and that made fans feel more sympathy for him.

Up till now, perhaps, Ryoo Si-oh has divided the fans the most.

"Strong Girl Nam-soon" is directed by Kim Jung-sik-I, Lee Kyung-sik, written by Baek Mi-kyeong, and features Lee Yoo-mi, Kim Jung-eun, Kim Hae-sook, Ong Seong-wu, Byeon Woo-seok, Lee Seung-joon. Broadcasting information in Korea: 2023/10/07~2023/11/26, Sat, Sun 22:30 on JTBC.

 

"Vincenzo" - Jang Joon-woo

From a lovely intern to a psychotic CEO, Jang Joon-woo (Ok Taecyeon) remains the biggest plot twist in the history of K-Dramas.

Joon-woo worked as an intern in a disguise. The firm worked for the Babel Group, helping them get away with their crimes. Whilst he was in disguise, he placed his half-brother on the seat of the CEO- as a puppet, of course.

His disguise was so perfect that no one could have suspected him. All one could see was a young, adorable intern from America. On the other hand, his real self was totally different. He was a narcissist psychopath who was obsessed with power.

Ok Taecyeon's duality had fans speechless, and certainly, obsessed with him.

"Voice" - Mo Tae-goo

Mo Tae-goo (Kim Jae-wook) was a president of Sung-woon Express with a dangerous hobby. Mo Tae-goo was born with a psychotic brain. He showed many symptoms, like killing animals. This soon grew to killing people-out of joy.

Mo Tae-goo is so vicious that even his father feared him. What made him even more vicious than the above was how brutal he was. He planned each aspect of his crime and enjoyed seeing his victims struggle.

Tae-goo truly kept the fans on the edge, so to see what he would do next.
