Kim became a household name in 2011 after starring in teen musical drama Dream High. He plays a country bumpkin who turned out to be a musical genius.[23] The drama brought in high domestic ratings[24] and was also popular overseas, winning several international awards.[25] As the only young actor in a cast of idols, Kim studied song and dance for three months at JYP Entertainment to pull off the required scenes in the drama.[26] He recorded two songs for the drama's soundtrack, his solo "Dreaming"[27] as well as the title track "Dream High" with the rest of the cast.[28]
Kim's popularity skyrocketed when he starred in the hit period drama Moon Embracing the Sun as the King Leehwon.[29] The drama recorded a peak rating of 42.2 percent,[30] thereby earning the "national drama" status and was exported to locales across Asia, making it one of the most profitable exports in the drama genre.[31] Kim contributed his vocals to the soundtrack with the traditional ballad "Only You"[32] and the more modern composition "Another Way".[33]
Due to his popularity, he set a new record in product endorsements for being the face of 17 products simultaneously.[34] He also won the Best Actor (TV) award at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards.[35] Beating out heavyweight veterans such as Han Suk-kyu, Shin Ha-kyun and Cha Seung-won, Kim said "I am very grateful for this moment, but I am ashamed as well. It's like getting a lot of homework. I'll keep trying to become a better actor in order to remain worthy of this award".[36]
Kim made his big-screen debut in the star-studded heist film The Thieves, touted by the press as the Korean version of Ocean's Eleven.[37] With over 12.9 million ticket sales, the film became the second highest-grossing movie in Korean film history.[38]
In 2013, Kim was cast to play the role of a North Korean spy who infiltrated South Korea as a village idiot in the movie Secretly, Greatly, an adaptation of the popular webtoon series Covertness by Hun.[39] The film broke several records and was one of the most successful box office hits of the year drawing an audience of 7 million.[40] Kim won Best New Actor (Film) awards at the 50th Grand Bell Awards and the 50th Baeksang Arts Awards.[41]

Kim experienced explosive growth in popularity throughout Asia topping various popularity polls[46] and became one of the most in-demand endorsers with 35 product endorsements.[47] He won the Daesang (or "Grand Prize"), the highest award for television, at the 7th Korea Drama Awards[48] and Most Popular Actor (TV) at 50th Baeksang Arts Awards.[49]

Kim then starred in the action-noir film Real, directed by his cousin Lee Sa-rang[59], which premiered in June 2017.[60] The film tanked at the box office and received negative reviews from the critics for its direction, storyline, characters' information; saying that only Kim saved the movie with his acting to some extent.[61]
On contrast, the film received favourable response after it's arrival in Taiwan's cinema.[62] Expat Korean Movie Critic/Blogger Pierce Conran included Real in his list of top 15 Korean Movies of 2017 for its uniqueness and originality.[63]

Kim began his mandatory military service on October 23, 2017.[64] He was supposed to work in public service duty instead of active duty as he previously underwent a surgery related to his heart.[65] However, he voluntarily went for re-examinations and was eventually cleared for the combat.[66] He entered a military camp in Paju, Gyeonggi Province to complete his basic training.[67]
In late November 2017, Kim's agency announced that he had completed his five weeks of basic training, placing fourth as an outstanding trainee.[68] He was rewarded with a vacation by the division commander and received a self deployment to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion to continue his duty.[69]
