Kim Seon-ho () is a South Korean actor with a diverse body of work across various entertainment platforms. He primarily appears in television series and has also participated in three television shows and one feature film, as well as one radio show.
He began his career in theater, making his debut on stage in 2009. After performing exclusively on stage for eight years, he auditioned for a television role, landing a supporting role in the KBS2 drama Good Manager (2017). Following this, he auditioned for a supporting part in Strongest Deliveryman (2017) but was upgraded to the second male lead. A similar turn of events occurred when he auditioned for a supporting role in MBC drama Two Cops (2017), again earning a second male lead position.
His first leading role came in the four-episode MBC drama special You Drive Me Crazy (2018). That same year, he also played a secondary lead in his first cable drama and pre-produced historical series, tvN's 100 Days My Prince (2018). He continued to gain prominence with his first lead role in a full-length miniseries with JTBC's Welcome to Waikiki 2 (2019), and took on another leading role in the tvN series Catch the Ghost (2019).
He gained international recognition after joining the main cast of the KBS variety show 2 Days & 1 Night (2019–2021) and for his breakout role in the tvN drama series Start-Up (2020), which earned him a Baeksang Arts Award for Most Popular Actor. He solidified his status as a leading actor with the tvN romantic comedy series Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021).
He made his feature film debut in the action noir film The Childe (2023) directed by Park Hoon-jung, where he was top billing. He and Park subsequently collaborated again on their first streaming series, the Disney+ production The Tyrant (2024).
