Biography
Kim Woo-bin (real name Kim Hyun-joong) started as a runway model before transitioning to acting. His television debut came in White Christmas, but he gained wider recognition through A Gentleman's Dignity in 2012. The actor's breakthrough arrived with back-to-back hits: School 2013 and The Heirs, both airing in 2012–2013, established him as a leading talent in Korean drama. He then anchored two box office blockbusters—Twenty in 2015 and Master in 2016—solidifying his status in film. In 2016, Kim took on his first major television lead role in Uncontrollably Fond. His trajectory halted in May 2017 when his agency announced a hiatus following a nasopharyngeal cancer diagnosis.
