Kim Seon-ho of ‘Start-Up’: Here’s Where We Can See More of Him

Kim Seon-ho of “Start-up” may have stolen the show from lead stars Bae Suzy and Nam Joo-hyuk with all the buzz surrounding the charming actor.

The 34-year-old star has made quite an impression to K-drama fans, proving once again that the second lead syndrome is real. If you’re like us who can’t get enough of this talented actor, here’s a list of his projects and where to watch them.

Kim Seon-ho Is a ‘Good Boy’ in ‘Start-up’

Where to watch: Netflix

For those who have yet to watch “Start-up,” Kim Seon-ho plays the role of venture capitalist Han Ji-pyeong. Han Ji-pyeong grew up in an orphanage, which explains his cold, untrusting demeanor. He becomes indebted to Seo Dal-mi’s (Bae Suzy) grandmother who took him in when he had nowhere else to go. Despite his somewhat crass attitude, the grandmother fondly calls him “good boy.”

Han Ji-pyeong may act like a cold, tough businessman, but he’s a softie when it comes to Seo Dal-mi and her grandmother.  K-drama fans love the ultra-snob romantic leads who will do anything for love, and Han Ji-pyeong is no different.
