Woo Do-hwan

Woo Do-hwan (우도환, born July 12, 1992, Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea) built one of K-drama's more impressive single-decade track records. A graduate of Dankook University's Department of Performing Arts, he debuted in 2011 and earned his first breakout roles in 2017 when Save Me and Mad Dog arrived back-to-back, establishing him as a presence capable of taut thriller work and sustained physical intensity. Tempted (2018) and My Country: The New Age (2019) deepened that reputation. His dual-role performance as royal guard Jo Yeong in The King: Eternal Monarch (2020) became one of the most-discussed performances of that season. He entered mandatory military service in July 2020 and was discharged in January 2022. Bloodhounds (2023) on Netflix was his post-service statement: a lead role carrying the full season opposite Lee Sang-yi in a physically demanding action series. Mr. Plankton (2024) showed range on the opposite end. In December 2025 he joined Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung in Made in Korea, a Disney+ period crime series set in the 1970s directed by Woo Min-ho. He plays Baek Gi-hyeon, younger brother to Hyun Bin's lead character Baek Ki-tae. The series was renewed for a second season, set to premiere in late 2026. Bloodhounds Season 2 is also confirmed for 2026.
