Kim Kang-woo’s Profile
Kim Kang-woo is a South Korean actor who is best known for his roles in The Taste of Money and also Missing Noir M. He was born on July 11, 1978 in Seoul, South Korea. Before debuting as an actor, he received his education at Chung-Ang University, majoring in Theater and Film major. Currently, he works under the talent agency King Entertainment. Now, he is already happily married to Han Moo Young, and they have one son. This 40-year-old actor started his career in the entertainment industry, playing a role as a soldier in Kim Ki-duk’s 2002 film The Coast Guard while still a senior. He later commented that the role of a soldier was the only one he could get without any prior experience. Later, he started to play in South Korean drama series too, playing consecutive roles in Breathless and Three Leafed Clover. These roles eventually gained him the nickname “Mr. Right”, as he became known for his portrayal of honest and reliable characters. Finally in 2005, he landed his first lead film role in Jeong Jae-eun’s 2005 sophomore feature The Aggressives, a film about youth’s life.

At first the film was only released in ten theaters, and Kang-woo was not pleased with that. What he did next was, he went to screenings by himself hoping to promote the film, there he greeted and conversed with members of the audience. Although the movie did not succeed in the box office, The Railroad found favor with critics, and Kim won the “Best Actor” award at the 25th Torino Film Festival. This, of course, boosted his acting career, but he also feel burdened by the increased expectations people would have over his future performances. Since then, his career has continued improving, and he has kept appearing not just on the big screen but also in South Korean drama series, playing not just minor roles but also =lead roles. Before he joined the talent agency King Entertainment, he was in managed by the agency Namoo Actors. But in August 2014, he left that agency and decided to join C-JeS Entertainment.
