So the looong wait is over. The King: Eternal Monarch finally premiered on Netflix and you've probably watched (or rewatched *wink, wink*) the first two episodes by now. While there's still so much about the characters and storyline that has yet to be revealed, there's one thing we're so sure of: The actors in the drama are hella amazing. With such a magnetic and charming cast, we've become quite curious as to who these people are IRL—er, well, on social media, that is. We did some internet sleuthing (but, of course!) and found the Instagram accounts of the six main characters of The King. Let the lurking commence!
