Perspective
Early career as member of Alleyway Theater Company
In 2007, Kim made his debut in the play Gangster No.1. The play delved into the story of a gangster's rise to power. It shed light on an era marked by intense competition and materialistic pursuits. The play was performed at Theater Tree and Water of Daehak-ro Art Theater, running from August 8 until September 30.[8]
In 2008, Kim acted in the independent short black and white film A Matter of Principle.[9] It advanced to the finals of the Mise-en-Scène Short Film Festival and was screened at Yongsan CGV from June 26 to July 2, 2008.[10][11]
While performing in a college play, Kim and fellow actor Shim Jae-hyun caught the attention of Professor Park Geun-hyung, a renowned professor of Seoul Institute of the Arts and the leader of Alleyway Theater Company. Professor Park invited them to one of his own play. This led to Kim being cast in the Korean production of Marat/Sade (2009) by playwright Peter Weiss, produced by the Seoul Theater Company and directed by Park Geun-hyung himself. As a result, Kim joined the Alleyway Theater Company as a member.[6][7]
In 2013, as part of the 10th Anniversary Festival of Alleyway Theater Company, Kim delivered a remarkable portrayal of poet Yi Sang in the Korean two-hander play Raising the Sun in the Sky, written by playwright Kwon Tae and directed by Lee Eun-joon.

Hiatus from theater, minor roles and theater comeback
After leaving the Alleyway Theater Company in 2014, Kim took a hiatus from theater acting, during which he worked as a construction laborer to make ends meet.[7] In 2015, Kim signed an exclusive contract with Urban Entertaintment.[13] He accepted minor roles in various films, and subsequently appeared in Tazza: The Hidden Card (2015), Planck Constant (2015), The Accidental Detective (2015), A Violent Prosecutor (2016), and a box office film Train to Busan (2016). He also made his television debut with minor roles in the OCN drama series Squad 38.[13]
In the spring of 2017, Kim made his return to Daehak-ro by portraying Håkon Håkonsson, King-elect of Norway, in the premiere of a Korean adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play The Pretenders, titled The Claimants of the Throne. Directed by Kim Gwang-bo and written by Ko Yeon-ok, who had previously collaborated on a project, the performance took place at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts M Theater.[6][3]
Later that year, in the fall of 2017, Kim took on the role of French Diplomat Rene Gallimard in the third Korean adaptation of David Henry Hwang’s play M. Butterfly, as part of The Best Plays Festival's[A] repertoire. Directed by Kim Dong-yeon, the play ran from September to December at the Art One Theater Hall 1.[15][16]
Breakthrough roles in small screen
"We are working on two short dramas, and he is someone I have rarely seen acting on TV or in movies, but he has been very active in plays. I went to see the play after receiving a recommendation from an assistant director, and it was a play that encompassed everything from comedy to emotional action. After seeing how well he handled it, I thought he would be able to show both the critical feel of Too Bright for Romance and the bold feel of Dreamers, so I cast him."
Kim rose to prominence as an actor after his role as Ahn Jae-geun, a whistleblower at Seomyoung Foods, in the tvN drama Argon (2017), where he was praised for his captivating performance.[18] He then went on to star in the KBS Drama Special 2018. He appeared in one-act drama Too Bright for Romance, where he played the role of the renowned theater critic Kim Hyung-seok. Directed by Yoo Young-eun, this drama special was the fourth installment of the KBS Drama Special 2018, which aired on October 5, 2018. It was based on Kim Geum-hee's novel of the same name, which had won the grand prize at the 7th Young Artist Award in 2016.[17]
Kim collaborated with director Yoo Young-eun once again in seventh installment of KBS Drama Special 2018, titled "Dreamers". Kim portrayed a character who manages the dream world and has control over those who escape reality into their dreams. His detailed and skillful acting made a strong impression and increased viewer immersion in the drama, showcasing his talents as an experienced theater actor.[19] This drama aired on October 25, 2018. Kim was cast in both drama because director Yoo Young-eun had seen one of his theater performances.[17] Prior to the drama airing, Kim signed an exclusive contract with S.A.L.T. Entertainment on October 23, 2018.[20]
Kim gained wider recognition after starring in the 2018 tvN drama series Encounter, where he portrays Lee Dae-chan, the easy-going and cheerful owner of Chan's Golbaengi, a small restaurant. He showcases his own character well when acting with actors Song Hye-kyo, Park Bo-gum, Pyo Ji-hoon, and Kwak Sun-young. His love line with Kwak Sun-young also an attractive sub-plot, as it intertwines due to a fateful meeting. Kim's performance in Encounter marked a turning point in his career, as he gained wider recognition and established himself as a talented television actor.[21]
I've been fortunate to come across good works and remarkable roles, and I feel like I'm a very lucky person. I started acting because I enjoyed it and loved being on stage, but looking back, I feel like I lived somewhat naively. During my time with the theater troupe, we often presented plays that raised questions about society. However, at that time, when I saw posters that seemed to prioritize both artistic quality and commercial appeal, I sometimes found myself thinking, 'That can't be a play.' While doing socially impactful theater, I felt a great sense of purpose, but after 5-6 years, I started to feel tired and drained. There weren't many regular audience members, and economically, it became difficult. I questioned why I was doing it. Around 2015, when I felt frustrated with theater, I took a break, partly voluntary and partly out of necessity. After a two-year hiatus, I returned in 2017 with 'Claimants of the Throne.' Now, facing many audiences, my narrow-minded views about theater have changed a lot, and I'm simply grateful to be able to encounter such wonderful works.

When I was creating Choi Do-ha, there was something I wanted to have a new texture. Through Choi Do-ha, I wanted to give the viewers a sense of discomfort and fear, like a fog or a swamp that covers the lake. I tend to use a lot of images when creating a character. I wondered if I could express Choi Do-ha with one tear and one smile. When I do comedy, I tend to try to express that sense of rhythm while thinking of a cute and bouncy hummingbird or a deer running through the meadow.

If it's about ambition, then it's all about ambition. (laughs) One of the reasons I consistently take the stage in theater while engaging in media activities is because of the delicate balance of acting. If I lean too heavily towards either media or theater, I feel like my existence as an actor becomes precarious. It's akin to walking on a tightrope. Just like if you lean too much to one side while walking on a tightrope, you'll immediately fall off. For me, it's like walking a tightrope between media and theater. I strive to find a balance between the two, and that's why I make it a point to step onto the stage at least once a year. It's essential for me as an actor to maintain that balance and continue moving forward.
