Career

Kim participated in Superstar K 3, a survival audition show for singers on Mnet. He showed up at the preliminary regional audition in Daegu but never made it to the group of 11 contestants that actually competed in the show.[4] Shortly after, Kim made his debut in tvN's music youth series Flower Band, playing an ambitious keyboard player.[5]

He gained recognition with his role in the pan-Asia hit drama Descendants of the Sun.[6][7] The same year, he starred in SBS' medical drama The Doctors and won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards.[8][9]

In 2017, Kim played supporting roles in SBS' legal thriller Innocent Defendant, JTBC's coming-of-age drama Hello, My Twenties! 2 and tvN's romantic comedy series Because This Is My First Life.[10] On November 16, 2017, it was reported that Kim's contract with Woollim Entertainment had expired and he had not renewed with the company.[11] It was later reported that he had signed to Respect Entertainment.[1]

In 2018, Kim played his first lead role in the drama special Almost Touching.[12] In December 2018, Kim enlisted in the military to serve his conscripted duty.[13]

In September 2020, Kim joined the cast of multi-season rom-com web series City Couple's Way of Love of Kakao TV, which will depict the real love stories of young people who live fiercely with "another me" in a complex city. The first series Lovestruck in the City is set to air on December 8, 2020 and it will be available for streaming on Netflix also.
