Career

Acting career

Kim is an alumnus of the Seoul Institute of the Arts, where he studied in the Department of Theatre. He began his entertainment career as a comedian for MBC in 2005. In 2007, he made his television debut with minor role in MBC drama Chosun Cop Season 1 (2007). In 2008, while still active in comedy, he expanded into various performance fields, appearing in the stage play The Crucible (2008), stage musical Pippin (2008) and movie Story of Wine (2008).[5]

Since Kim met Park Bo-young in movie Hot Young Bloods (2014), he starred in several of her projects, such as three tvN dramas Oh My Ghost (2015), Strong Girl Bong-soon (2017) and Abyss (2019), also in her film On Your Wedding Day (2018). Before Park Bo-young moved to her current agency, She and Kim were together in same Actor Management Agency Fidespartium.[6]

In 2015, Kim got his first television supporting role in director Yoo Je-won's drama Oh My Ghost as a police officer Han Jin-goo.[7] He worked again with director Yoo Je-won in drama Abyss (2019)[8] and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021).

Dancer career

In addition to his acting career, Kim has been a practitioner of Goseong ogwangdae for over a decade.[9] He is a master-certified practitioner (isusa) within the Goseong Ogwangdae Preservation Society, led by Lee Yoon-seok.[10]

Kim has frequently represented the tradition internationally. In September 2015, he participated in the Korean Master Singers Workshop in Northern California, an event supported by the Korean Cultural Center and the Goseong Ogwangdae Conservation Association. Alongside dancer Yoon Hyun-ho, Kim conducted a series of masterclasses and demonstrations across the region, including sessions at the Silicon Valley Korean Hall and local educational institutions. These workshops focused on the history and technique of the Goseong mask dance, further promoting the Intangible Cultural Heritage to overseas audiences.[11]

In 2018, Kim performed in the National Theater Company's project Yeongeuk-dongne Yeonhui Madang, an initiative aimed at modernizing traditional Korean performance art. The festival was structured into three thematic "courtyards" located at the National Theater Company's Seogye-dong grounds. Kim appeared in the second courtyard in a showcase titled Finding the Yangban, a modern re-interpretation of the Goseong Ogwangdae mask dance. Selected through a competitive audition process, Kim and the ensemble focused on integrating the traditional elements of mask dance into a contemporary theatrical framework.[12][13]

Since 2019, Kim has participated in the "BBRUN" Project, an experimental theatrical series that integrates motion capture and virtual reality (VR) technology. Regarded as one of South Korea's first immersive "metaverse" performances, the production allows for real-time interaction between live performers and digital environments. The inaugural performances were held from November 20 to 22, 2020, at the Asia Culture Center (ACC) ACT Studio in Gwangju. In this project, Kim's background in traditional movement was utilized to inform the digital choreography within a virtual space.[14]
