The actor is known for portraying Do Min-joon in ‘My Love from the Star,’ Song Sam-dong in ‘Dream High,’ Baek Seung-chan in ‘The Producers,’ and Won Ryu-hwan/Bang Dong-gu in ‘Secretly, Greatly.’ The actor’s recent credits include Kim Hyeon-soo in ‘One Ordinary Day,’ Moon Gang-tae in ‘It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,’ special appearances in ‘Crash Landing on You’ and ‘Hotel del Luna,’ Do Min-joon in ‘My Love from the Star,’ etc.
