Kim Soo-Hyun is one of the hottest, if not THE hottest working actor in the Korean entertainment industry today with fans worldwide. Since debuting onscreen with a role in 2007's "Kimchi Cheese Smile", 2011's wildly popular "Dream High" provided Kim with his breakout role. Since then, Kim has seen his career skyrocket in film and television, even being awarded "Best Actor" at Korea's prestigious Baeksang Awards for his 2012 role in"The Moon Embracing the Sun". The massively popular "My Love from the Star", which became a global phenomenon, solidified Kim as one of the most in demand actors.
