Kim Seon-Ho is a South Korean actor, catapulted to fame with his second lead role in drama "Start-Up" (2020). He made his screen debut at the beginning of 2017 with a supporting role in the KBS2 office drama "Chief Kim" (aka Good Manager), after being recommended by director Lee Eun-jin who saw his 2016 performance in the play "Closer". Having initially auditioned for a minor role in "Strongest Deliveryman" (2017), Kim Seon-Ho was eventually cast in a main role playing a chaebol (conglomerate heir) in the drama. He capped off 2017 by starring in the action comedy "Two Cops" opposite Jo Jung-suk, which earned him two awards at the 2017 MBC Drama Awards. In March 2018, Kim Seon-Ho was cast as the male lead in the MBC romantic drama special "You Drive Me Crazy". He subsequently starred in the historical drama "100 Days My Prince", which became one of the highest-rated dramas in Korean cable television history.
In 2019, Kim Seon-Ho played an aspiring singer in the JTBC comedy "Welcome to Waikiki 2". The same year, he starred in the tvN police crime drama "Catch the Ghost" opposite veteran actress Moon Geun-young, in his first leading role in a full-length drama. On November 5 2019, Kim Seon-Ho was confirmed as a fixed cast member in the fourth season of the long-running KBS2 variety show "2 Days & 1 Night".
In 2020, Kim Seon-Ho appeared in the tvN/Netflix drama "Start-Up". His portrayal of Han Ji-pyeong, a sharp investor with a tragic past was enthusiastically received by viewers, and he experienced a surge in popularity both domestically and internationally, becoming one of the most famous cases of Second Lead Syndrome (when audiences root for the second male lead in a drama and wish the female lead would choose him although they know that it won't happen). Fans used hashtags #teamgoodboy and #teamhanjipyeong to gush about his performance and argue he deserved the girl. As of December 2020, for his next career moves, he is adamant he is staying on "2 Days & 1 Night" season 4 and he is in talks to start in dramas "Link" and "Mr Hong" (remake from a movie).
