He made his debut in the music industry in 2010 as a member of the group ZE:A before gradually transitioning to acting, a field in which he has gained significant recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He first gained attention in 2012 for playing the younger version of Heo Yeom in the historical drama <em>Moon Embracing the Sun<\/em>, a huge television hit. He followed that up with <em>Man from the Equator<\/em>, <em>Standby<\/em> and <em>Waiting for Love<\/em>. His career reached a new milestone in 2014 with <em>Triangle<\/em>, and above all <em>Misaeng: Incomplete Life<\/em>, where his portrayal of Jang Geu-rae\u2014a young employee discovering the cutthroat world of corporate life\u2014earned him several awards and turned the drama into a true cultural phenomenon in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After <em>The King in Love<\/em> In 2017, he returned from his military service with a much darker outlook on <em>Strangers from Hell<\/em> in 2019, playing Yoon Jong-woo opposite Lee Dong-wook. He then returned to romance in <em>Run On<\/em> in 2020, in which he plays the former sprinter Ki Seon-gyeom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2022, he demonstrated his versatility with <em>Trace<\/em> and its second season, in which he plays the daring tax investigator Hwang Dong-joo, and then with the melancholic <em>Summer Strike<\/em>. The following year, his comedic transformation in <em>Boyhood<\/em>, in which he plays Jang Byeong-tae, a shy teenager mistaken for a formidable fighter, earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His international popularity grew even further when he joined <em>Squid Game Season 2<\/em> in 2024, and then <em>Squid Game Season 3<\/em> in 2025 as Lee Myeong-gi, player No. 333. He went on to play the lead role of Yun I-jun in <em>Love in Disguise<\/em> in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In film, he has also distinguished himself in <em>The Attorney<\/em>, <em>The Merciless<\/em>, <em>Emergency Declaration<\/em>, <em>Unlocked<\/em>, <em>Road to Boston<\/em> and <em>Mantis<\/em>, confirming a particularly diverse career spanning romance, thrillers, social dramas, and darker characters.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":3687,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":""},"class_list":["post-3686","acteur","type-acteur","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
