Biography
Kim Mu-yeol is a South Korean actor born May 22, 1982. He started in musical theatre before moving to film and TV, initially in minor roles. His breakthrough came with War of the Arrows, which led to his first major part in Jung Ji-woo's A Muse—both critically acclaimed projects. He went on to anchor a string of distinct films: Northern Limit Line, Forgotten, The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil, Honest Candidate, and The Roundup: Punishment. As a Gemini born under life-path number 11 [F1, enrichments], Kim embodies the sign's pull toward duality and intellectual depth—traits evident in his choice of morally ambiguous, psychologically layered characters. Actors typically balance live performance, film, and ensemble work; Kim's trajectory shows a preference for introspective, genre-adjacent material over mainstream comedy or romance.
