Career
Early life
Ahn was born on April 17, 1995 in Seoul, South Korea. When he was seven years old, his family emigrated to Toronto, Canada.[3] Ahn later moved back to South Korea when he was 17, while his family stayed in Canada. He later attended and graduated from Kookmin University, in the Department of International Business.
After moving back to South Korea, Ahn was scouted by JYP Entertainment and became a trainee.[4] He was given an opportunity to debut as a member in the K-pop boy band Got7. However, he ultimately turned down the offer to pursue other endeavors.[5]
2015–2016: Debut with One O One, acting debut and career beginnings
On October 1, 2015, Starhaus Entertainment launched the project group One O One, releasing their debut single "Love You". The group consisted of Ahn together with fellow Starhaus actors Kwak Si-yang, Song Won-suk and Kwon Do-kyun. However, the group presumably disbanded due to inactivity since January 2019.[6]
Ahn made his acting debut in the MBC drama, Splash Splash Love. He then became a cast member of the music variety show Always Cantare. He had supporting roles in One More Happy Ending, Happy Home and Entertainer in 2016.
2017–present: Transition to lead roles
His popularity rose after his first ever lead role in Queen of the Ring and My Father is Strange in 2017. He then transited to lead roles thereafter and starred in Still 17 and Top Management. He played alongside Park Bo-young in the romantic comedy fantasy crime drama Abyss.[7] In 2020, Ahn starred in the second season of the hit medical drama Dr. Romantic, playing general surgeon Seo Woo-jin with Lee Sung-kyung as his leading lady. The show was a success, with both Ahn and Lee keeping their promise of singing for the fans as it crossed the double-digit mark for ratings.
