Early life and education

[edit]

Kim Seon-ho was born on May 8, 1986 in Seongbuk District, Seoul, South Korea.[2][3] An only child, his given name, "Seon-ho" (Korean: ์„ ํ˜ธ; Hanja: ๅฎฃ่™Ž), translates to "benevolent tiger."[1] Growing up in Bongcheon-dong,[4] Kim was timid and introverted, traits he has attributed to a traumatic event during his second year of elementary school.[2] During the incident, Kim witnessed his mother being stabbed while he remained hidden under his bed. He began to address this trauma through acting after a friend suggested he enroll in an acting academy during his third year of high school.[5][6][7]

Kim's parents fully supported his career choice and financed his university studies.[5][7][8] In 2005, he enrolled at the Seoul Institute of the Arts at the encouragement of his acting teacher, an alumnus of the school.[2] While he and Lee Si-eon were in the Department of Broadcasting and Entertainment, their 2005 contemporaries Lee Dong-hwi and Kwon Hyuk-soo attended the Theater Department.[9] Kim focused primarily on theater classes during his studies.[9] As a member of the campus theater club, Theatrical Art Research Society [ko],[A][4] Kim performed in campus productions of My Town, The Seagull, and Chunpung's Wife.[10][11]

In 2007, he began his mandatory military service. He initially served as a drill instructor at the Nonsan Army Training Center before transitioning to a role as a public service worker. Kim has stated that his experience as an instructor improved his pronunciation and enunciation. He also noted that managing and counseling diverse individuals during his time as a public service worker improved his communication skills and led to a more outgoing personality. Kim has characterized this period as transformative, stating that it broadened his worldview and provided new perspectives for his acting career.[4][9][12]

In November, he joined the production of Park Dong-wook's Voice of Millennium.
