Kim Dong-wook
Kim Dong-wook (김동욱) has been one of Korean drama's most dependable performers since Coffee Prince (2007) made him a household name. Born July 29, 1983 in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, he trained at the Korea National University of Arts' School of Drama and built an early career straddling television, film, and musical theatre. Take Off (2009), the box office sports hit about Korea's national ski jumping team, showcased his physical commitment. But it was his tormented Prince Sung-won in the period thriller The Concubine (2012) that earned him unanimous critical attention: an obsessive, emotionally unraveling performance critics cited as among the finest Korean screen work of the year. He continued with supernatural crime drama The Guest (2018) and the Along with the Gods franchise (2017-2018), two of the highest-grossing Korean films of their era. After marrying Stella Kim in 2023 and becoming a father, he returned to full comedic mode in Seoul Busters (Disney+, 2024), a workplace crime farce that reminded audiences why his timing remains peerless. He is represented by Plum A&C.
