Career

Kim had 20 years of stage experience in the Daehakro theater area of Seoul before he made his screen debut in the romantic drama The Classic in 2003. With his unique take on oddball characters and fearless ability to play extreme roles, he remains in demand as supporting player on the screen. Probably best known for his role as Yoo Ji-tae's white-haired bodyguard in Park Chan-wook's Oldboy (2003), his other iconic roles include an eccentric priest in Park's Lady Vengeance (2005) and smaller roles in Im Sang-soo's The President's Last Bang (2005) and Ryoo Seung-wan's Crying Fist (2005).[1]

In 2015, he was featured in a controversial Maxim Korea cover, standing next to a car smoking a cigarette with a woman's legs bound in duct tape protruding from the car's trunk.[3]
