Kim Nam-hee is a South Korean actor.[1] He is known for his roles in dramas Mr. Sunshine, Spring Turns to Spring, and Sweet Home.[2][3][4]

Career

[edit]

Kim Nam-hee revealed in an interview that he discovered his passion for acting when he was in his second year of high school after accidentally stumbling upon an acting academy near his house. He also mentioned that he still receives occasional acting coaching and advice from the same teacher he met back then. According to Kim, the teacher played a significant role in his career as an actor, and he believes that the teacher made everything possible.[5]

Kim then studied acting at Seokyeong University's Department of Theater.[5] He started acting in short and independent film since 2009. However his professional debut as actor was a minor role in feature film No Breathing in 2013.[6] Kim has an extensive background in theater, having performed in several plays such as 'Maids', 'Custody Claim' (2015), 'Brother's Night' (2016), 'Wake Up Hamlet', 'The Sky at the Amusement Park is Always', and 'In the Middle of the Sea' in the previous year. This solid stage experience has enabled him to firmly establish himself in any role.[7]

In 2017, Kim played the role of a stalker in the drama Band of Sisters and left a strong impression on viewers. He also gained recognition for his short but impactful acting in director Lee Eung-bok's Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, where he played a doctor trying to save lives without realizing his own fate. His breakthrough role came in Mr. Sunshine, where he played Takashi Mori, a Japanese character speaking Korean and English with incredible precision.[7] He got the role through audition.[8] Through his role he won Best Supporting Actor from Korean Cultural Award.[9]

Since then, in 2019 he has appeared in Spring Turns to Spring and Search: WWW.

He has also gained attention for his performances in commercials, including one for a construction company where he played a newlywed, and one for a hamburger brand where he portrayed a quiet, caring father whose child is sleeping.[7]

Kim accepted role in film Where Would You Like to Go without reading the script.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

He got married on September 29, 2018, to his long-term girlfriend whom he has dated for 10 years since his college days.[11][12] Senior actor Lee Deok-hwa officiated the wedding.[13]
