Born in 1978, Kim Sungoh made his debut with a small role in the play <First Love> in 2000. After a first short film appearance in <Emergency Measure 19> in 2002, he could be seen in <She’s on Duty> and <Bittersweet Life>, but it was only after he passed the open audition held by public broadcaster SBS that his career started in earnest. With his roots in stage productions, he widened his scope and gained popularity thanks to his role as the cute and off-the-wall Secretary Kim in the hit drama series <Secret Garden> (2010), and he later took on the role of troublemaker Kim Docheol in the series <Midas>. He also showed a different side when he starred as a cold-blooded black market organ dealer who kidnaps a little girl in the 2010 hit action thriller <The Man from Nowhere>, an event that triggers Won Bin’s rampage. His ‘crazy presence’ on screen led him to be often cast in roles of villains. Kim continued to largely switch between romcoms and thrillers in supporting roles, such as <Watcha Wearin’> (2012), <Fashion King> (2014) and <No Tears for the Dead> (2014) before getting another major part as an antagonist in a commercial film in <Missing You>, led by Shim Eunkyoung. After a cameo appearance in the Cannes-invited thriller <The Merciless> (2016), he played the leader of a human trafficking ring in <Unstoppable> (2018) then joined the other side of the law when his take as a detective in <Door Lock> (2018). After he starred in <SECRET ZOO> (2019) as a zookeeper forced to pass for a gorilla to keep his job, he was a man suspected by his wife to be not so human after all in the spoof horror <Night of the Undead> (2019). In early 2022, Kim appeared in both the thriller <Kingmaker> (2021) and the swashbuckler <The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure> (2020).Less
