Career
Kim Bong-hee began his career as a fashion model at the 2007 Seoul Fashion Week and for jeans brand Evisu in 2008. He made his acting debut in the queer coming-of-age film Just Friends? in 2009 under the stage name Seo Ji-hoo. His management agency later changed his stage name to Yeon Woo-jin.[1]
After playing a teacher in 2010 daily drama All My Love, he started to gain recognition as the youngest brother in hit 2011 family drama Ojakgyo Family.[2] Then in his first lead role, Yeon's character falls in love with the daughter of his brother's murderer in the 4-episode Drama Special Just an Ordinary Love Story.[3][4][5]
In 2012, he was cast as a mysterious villain in the period fantasy-romance Arang and the Magistrate.[6][7][8] Yeon reunited with Arang director Kim Sang-ho in 2013, to again play the protagonist's rival in the gangster melodrama When a Man Falls in Love.[9][10]
In 2014, Yeon appeared in Missing You, an episode in the five-part omnibus drama Secret Love starring members of the girl group Kara. This was followed by a leading role as a commitment-phobic plastic surgeon in the cable romantic comedy series Marriage, Not Dating.[11][12]
