From South Korean heartthrob to acclaimed actor and global icon Gang Dong-Wan exudes charisma and confidence on screen, drawing viewers in with his captivating presence and ability to command attention. A model turned actor, Gang Dong-wan is incredibly known for his versatility, captivating performances, and striking presence on screen. Born in Busan, South Korea, Gang initially pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Hanyang University before discovering his passion for acting.

Gang began his work as a model in 2000 before debuting as an actor in 2003, playing a doctor with a regional dialect in "Country Princess (also known as Funny Wild Girl)", and a chaebol's son in "Something About 1%." His ultimate breakthrough came in 2004 Temptation of Wolves, the film adaptation of Guiyeoni's teen internet novel. Gang's popularity rose, extending to other Asian countries, especially Japan.

As much as he enjoys creating new characters in his works, he challenges himself in various roles and genres. With an outstanding physical condition, a height of 6'1", a face that attracts people of all ages, and subtle acting skills, he has become a number-one pick for movie directors.
