After Welcome to Waikiki 2 and Catch the Ghost, his career took off in 2020 with Start-Up. Playing the role of Han Ji-pyeong, a brilliant investor haunted by his past, Kim Seon-ho has won the hearts of many viewers and become an international star.
The following year, he reached a new high with Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. His character, Hong Du-sik—nicknamed «Chef Hong»—a generous man hiding deep emotional wounds, has become one of the most beloved heroes in romantic K-dramas.
After several film and theater projects, Kim Seon-ho continues his career with highly anticipated new roles, notably in Can This Love Be Translated? in 2026 on Netflix, where he continues to explore the romantic genre that made him a success.
