Profile of Kim Sung-kyu

Born on January 6, 1986

Height: 173 cm

Graduated from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, Daejin University

Kim Sung-kyu was in the dance club in high school and dreamed of becoming a dancer professionally.

He started studying acting inspired by one of his seniors in the dance club who performed in a musical after graduation. Motivated by this example, Kim Sung-kyu wanted to try it himself.

Kim Sung-kyu never had any big dreams of acting as a career. He started acting only as a matter of interest.

He practiced acting at the theater and film department in his college for long hours and most of the time he was seen at work perfecting his acting skills.

He was involved in so many productions that his friends would tease him saying, “Your prime years were spent only at the college.”

After graduating from college, he founded a theater company with his friends and worked very hard as the founding member to build up the brand image of the entertainment firm.

During his theater years, he also did various part-time jobs. When he worked as a sales clerk at a department store, he was scouted to become a full-time employee because of his vocal ability as a theater actor.

Kim Sung-kyu’s production activities were initially confined only to theater productions. He developed his skills only as a theater actor and not as a prolific stage actor.

In 2014, he made his screen debut in a minor role in the film “The Con Artists.” Since then, he had a minor role in the film “Tunnel (2016),” and his face became very well known when he played the role of Yang-tae, a ruthless criminal while starring in “The Outlaws” in 2017.

More than 1,200 candidates participated in the audition. As soon as the director Yoon-Seong Kang saw Kim Sung-kyu, he felt he would be the perfect choice for Yang-tae’s role. While Kim Sung-kyu had intended to audition only for a minor role, he was chosen for the most prominent role of Yong Tae.

After his thumping success in this movie, he was chosen to play the role of a serial killer in the movie, “The Accidental Detective 2: In Action.”

While listing the reasons for casting Kim Sung-kyu, the director Eon-hie Lee said, “I liked Kim Sung-kyu’s face when I first saw him. There was a strange light in his eyes, strong yet delicate, soft yet evil looking, and a mysterious sadness”.

In 2019, he made his drama debut in Netflix’s “Kingdom,” where he played the role of Yeon-Shin, who has excellent fighting skills and a mysterious personality.

Kim Sung-kyu has the shrewdness to become one with the role he performs. He is able to show an impressive performance across different character types which surprises his audience.
