"Second Lead Syndrome" is real more than ever now that everyone's obsessing over Start-Up and the second lead that stole our hearts, Kim Seon Ho.

Having only transitioned from theater to TV in 2017, the 34-year-old actor landed a variety of small screen roles in different genres. Seon Ho seems that he can do it all—comedy, romance, drama, and even reality TV!
