To all Seonhohada in Kuala Lumpur, brace yourselves for a romantic Friday filled with laughter, joy, and precious moments with our good boy, KIM SEON HO! 

His most swoon-worthy roles!

Kim Seon-ho is definitely one of the most popular K-drama actors right now. The handsome actor’s fame skyrocketed after giving viewers serious second lead syndrome through Start-Up last year.

With fans anticipating his next drama role since then, the wait is finally over as Kim Seon-ho returns to our TV screens - as the male lead, no less! - in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha on 28 August. While we eagerly await more episodes of his new drama, let’s check out some of his roles we fell in love with below.

1. Hong Du-sik in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
In Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Kim Seon-ho portrays jack-of-all-trades handyman Hong Du-sik. He’s the sweet, easygoing chief of the seaside village of Gongjin. While he doesn’t have an official occupation, he has a long list of certifications and licenses. In every kind of situation, the villagers can always count on him whenever they need help. Whether it’s working as a barista or brokering real estate contracts, Hong Du-sik can do it all. On top of all of his capabilities, he’s a genuine and kind person.

2. Han Ji-pyeong in Start-Up
Countless fans first fell in love with Kim Seon-ho after watching his character Han Ji-pyeong in Start-Up. While Ji-pyeong is not always the best at expressing his feelings, he truly fits the Good Boy nickname assigned to him by Dal-mi’s grandmother. He’ll go out of his way to help the people he cares about and doesn’t expect anything in return. It was heartbreaking to see him belatedly realise his feelings for Dal-mi and struggle as he comes to terms with losing his opportunity.

3. Cha U-sik in Welcome to Waikiki 2
One of Kim Seon-ho’s funniest roles is Cha U-sik from Welcome to Waikiki 2. Cha U-sik is an aspiring singer who ends up running a guesthouse with his longtime friends. Eager for his career to take off, U-sik works multiple jobs from singing at weddings to teaching singing lessons. He’s super hard working and is always there for his friends. From hilarious moments like when he’s playing a recorder with his nose, to swoonworthy moments like when he’s singing a song to the woman he loves, U-sik is absolutely delightful.

4. Jung Je-yun in 100 Days My Prince
Thanks to 100 Days My Prince, we have proof that Kim Seon-ho looks just as handsome in traditional hanboks. His character Jung Je-yun also induces second lead syndrome with his pure admiration for Hong-sim. He works for the police bureau but has prosopagnosia or face blindness, and is only able to recognise Hong-sim. Despite his feelings for her, he doesn’t let it affect his respect and loyalty toward Lee Yul who becomes his romantic rival. Smart, funny, and charming, Jung Je-yun is the complete package.

5. Oh Jun-gyu in Strongest Deliveryman
Kim Seon-ho’s character Oh Jin-gyu has one of the best character arcs in Strongest Deliveryman. Jin-gyu is a spoiled heir who appears to enjoy a life of frivolity. Underneath the surface, he is actually very lonely and has poor self-esteem due to his abusive father. After becoming a part of the deliveryman community, Jin-gyu experiences reformation as he chooses to be a better person. It’s heartwarming to see him be able to experience true friendship and happiness. He’s a character that you can’t help but root for.

6. Seon Sang-tae in Good Manager
Following his successful career as a popular theatre actor, Kim Seon-ho made his TV debut through Good Manager. His character Seon Sang-tae is the youngest employee in the accounting department. Innocent and hardworking, Sang-tae does his best to not inconvenience his team members. With a bowl cut and glasses, Sang-tae pulls off the cute nerd look so well. He’s so good-natured and a true romantic. Sang-tae becomes even more lovable when his love life starts to blossom as well.

Watch the teaser trailer below!

K-dramas are a bit notorious for featuring male leads who start out as cold and rich bad boys, but end up changing after falling in love. Let’s be real- guys who are genuinely good from the beginning are so much more attractive. Thankfully, recent K-dramas have kept up with the trend of having more good guys and making them super appealing. Check out some recent good guys you’ll fall in love with below! 

Run On’s track star Ki Seon-gyeom (Yim Si-wan) appears to be a bit socially awkward at first, but he’s cute once you get to know him. Seon-gyeom is caring and makes his feelings for Oh Mi-joo (Shin Sae-kyeong) obvious. In addition to his swoon-worthy words and actions, Seon-gyeom doesn’t hesitate to make the difficult decision to stand up for Kim Woo-sik (Lee Jeong-ha). Seon-gyeom often places other people’s needs before his own, and he sticks to his convictions. 

Start-Up’s Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho) could easily be misunderstood as a typical cold male lead. However, he’s truly a good guy in every way. Ji-pyeong isn’t aware of his growing feelings for Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) at first, but he’s always looking out for her. Even after realizing his feelings for her, he never burdens Dal-mi and doesn’t make her uncomfortable. His sweet relationship with Dal-mi’s grandmother is so precious as well. His nickname is definitely “Good Boy” for a reason! 

Nam Do-san (Nam Joo-hyuk) was also a very good boy! While he struggled about the truth behind the letters, Do-san always does his best to help Dal-mi. How adorable was Do-san when he gifted Dal-mi’s grandmother with his hand-knit RGB-colored dish sponges? Furthermore, he even developed a brand new app to help her visually impaired grandmother. A good boy not only takes care of you, he takes care of your grandmother too! 

Record of Youth’s Sa Hye-jun (Park Bo-gum) is such a pure character despite his difficult circumstances and the industry he works in. Hye-jun is very loyal and trusts the people around him. Even though his best friend Won Hae-hyo (Byeon Woo-seok) is more successful than him at first, Hye-jun doesn’t get envious and feels truly happy for his friend instead. As a celebrity, public scrutiny should be a concern, but Hye-jun always cares more about the people he loves than what the public thinks of him. He just might be an angel in disguise. 

It's Okay to Not Be Okay’s Moon Gang-tae (Kim Soo-hyun) is another studly and empathetic character. He started taking care of his older brother from a young age, and gently cares for his patients. When Ko Mun-yeong (Seo Yea-ji) is intent on harming a patient, Gang-tae blocks her knife with his own hand. Even when Mun-yeong's romantic obsession with him gets annoying, Gang-tae still takes care of her and helps her heal. He’s also thoughtful and careful not to lead Nam Ju-ri (Park Gyu-young) on. 

Romance Is a Bonus Book features Cha Eun-ho (Lee Jong-suk) as an accomplished writer and chief editor who has been in love with his long-time friend Kang Dan-i (Lee Na-young). Eun-ho eagerly helps Dan-i every way he can after she has nowhere to go, following her divorce and eviction. He’s her biggest cheerleader and supports her efforts to re-start her career and life. The way he embraces her with open arms not seeking anything in return is clearly a good guy trait. 

Itaewon Class’s Park Saeroyi (Park Seo-jun) has such a good heart even though the world, especially Jangga Group, has not been kind to him. After being wrongfully expelled and convicted, Saeoryi does have revenge on his mind. However, he goes about it the wholesome way and seeks to establish a business more successful than Jangga Group. He’s truly kind and gives marginalized people a second chance. Saeroyi’s father undeniably taught him well.

Meanwhile, Hae-Joo (Ko Sung-hee) wants to live her life on her terms but is constantly pressured by her mother and three older brothers to get married. When Seong-Suk and Hae-Joo meet on a blind date, they decide to enter into a marriage contract and pretend marriage for three years. It seems like a perfect arrangement but during their wedding preparations, they face unexpected difficulties.

Popular drama Start-Up has recently wrapped up, and it’s an ideal time to start the series for those of you who prefer to watch without any interruptions, or rewatch if you’re experiencing Start-Up withdrawal. Here are some reasons to check out Start-Up!

Suzy and Nam Joo-hyuk make a very gorgeous couple. They’re also the same age and have the same agency, so we can see a more natural type of comfortableness between the pair. In Start-Up, we see a sweeter and sillier side of Suzy compared to her previous character in Vagabond. Nam Joo-hyuk has grown in popularity since The Light in Your Eyes and The School Nurse Files, so it’s a great treat to get to see him so soon after his latest series.

Kim Seon-ho as Han Ji-pyeong makes for the most swoon-worthy and heart-wrenching second lead in recent K-drama history. Whether you’re #TeamDoSan or #TeamJiPyeong, you’ll experience some degree of second lead syndrome. Ji-pyeong has a moving backstory, and seeing him come to terms with his feelings will make you sincerely wish for his happiness. Kim Seon-ho’s puppy dog eyes and adorable dimples are a sweet bonus.

In addition to the main love triangle, the rest of the cast is also quite amazing. Dal-mi’s grandmother (Kim Hae-sook) is simply the best and so full of love. Even characters who might not be immediately endearing like In-jae (Kang Han-na), Sa-ha (Stephanie Lee), and Do-san’s father (Kim Won-hae) will eventually win you over. And who could forget the adorable best friends Yong-san (Kim Do-wan) and Chul-san (Yu Su-bin)?

Speaking of the best friends, the original Samsan Tech trio is definitely friendship goals. The plaid-clad nerds stick together through thick and thin. Although they genuinely care for one another and are full of loyalty, they do have their adorable squabbles from time to time. You’ll be able to relate when they’re fighting one moment and bawling their eyes out due to concern for each other the next moment.

Each character is vying for their own kind of success. There are some characters like Ji-pyeong who have become financially successful and living a very different life since he left his orphanage. Samsan Tech’s team strives to make it big and prove themselves. Similarly, In-jae wants to have success on her own and not have it tied to her stepfather’s name. While financial success is a part of their goals, the young entrepreneurs also seek to help people and make the future a better place.

In addition to the motivational and romantic stories, Start-Up offers a lot of knowledge about the world of business for those who are unfamiliar with the tech industry. Whether you’re interested in starting a new business or not, it’s fascinating to learn important terms and things to look out for. A lot of innovation comes from start-up companies, so you can get a better idea of what goes on behind the technology that makes life easier.

There’s a lot of character growth all around which means heartfelt lessons for everyone. Nam Do-san overcomes his self-confidence issues while Han Ji-pyeong becomes able to maintain close relationships. We also see Dal-mi become self-assured and In-jae figure out her identity. It’s satisfying to see all the characters grow from the kind of people they were at the beginning of the series.

Enjoy watching Start-Up on Netflix!
