Ahn Bo-hyun

Ahn Bo-hyun (안보현), born May 16, 1988 in Busan, built toward something for ten years before it all locked in. A former competitive boxer who turned to modeling in 2007 after injuries, he began acting in 2014 and spent years in supporting parts before landing roles that matched his actual scale. The moment that changed everything was tvN and Netflix's Itaewon Class (2020), where his villain turn as Jang Geun-won made him impossible to ignore. He followed with a run of leading roles: Netflix's revenge thriller My Name (2021), tvN's Yumi's Cells (2021-2022) and Military Prosecutor Doberman (2022), the fantasy romance See You in My 19th Life (2023), and the detective comedy Flex X Cop (2024). The last earned a confirmed second season on SBS, with director Kim Jae-hong and writer Kim Ba-da returning alongside Ahn and Jung Eun-chae. In 2025, he starred in the film Pretty Crazy alongside Im Yoon-ah, winning Best New Actor at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards. That same year, he led Spring Fever (스프링 피버) on tvN opposite Lee Joo-bin, his most commercially prominent romantic lead role to date.
