Actor Kim Won-jun signs an exclusive contract with CREE Company and begins a full-fledged leap forward.
The agency CREE Company said in an official statement, "We are pleased to form a precious relationship with newcomer Kim Won-jun, who combines solid acting skills and a distinctive presence," adding, "We will spare no full support so that he, who is broadening his spectrum across various genres, can freely unfold the limitless potential he has as an actor."
In the short film "Whirlpool," Kim Won-jun played the son Yoon-seok, who bears his family's illness alone, and received rave reviews from critics for depicting the loneliness of a caregiver in deep tones. Through this work he was invited to the 25th Jeonju International Film Festival and rose rapidly as a "skilled rising star" attracting the film industry's attention by winning the acting award at the 2024 Jeonju International Short Film Festival.
Next, in the film "Hanran," set against the backdrop of the Jeju 4.3 incident, he played the role of Private Moon Il and delivered overwhelming immersion, sweeping audiences' attention. Private Moon Il is a character who constantly agonizes between indiscriminate orders to slaughter innocent island residents and obedience as a soldier. Kim Won-jun drew attention by delicately portraying the psychological changes of a character who fights desperately to maintain his conscience as a human being amid a scene of tragic history. In particular, by ultimately acting on his convictions against his superior's ruthless violence, he conveyed a weighty message that pierced the pain of the era beyond a simple soldier character, leaving audiences emotionally moved.
Also, he recently expanded his reach to living rooms by playing Bang Hyun-woo in the eighth story "Min-ji Min-ji Min-ji" of the 2025 KBS 2TV one-act project Love: Track. In the drama he was the first to discover the graffiti that triggers the incident and led the flow, and he added chewy tension and vitality to the piece by showing both a mischievous side and a three-dimensional aspect.
Thus, Kim Won-jun, who has both the deep inner acting honed in independent films and the popular charm in drama, meets the solid supporter CREE Company, and attention is focused on what steps he will take going forward.
Meanwhile, CREE Company, which signed an exclusive contract with Kim Won-jun, is an actor-specialized management company representing skilled actors including Moon Geun-young, Kim Hyang-gi, Yang So-min, Kang Sang Jun, Kim Da-hin, and Kang Ji-woo, and Kim Won-jun plans to continue active activities across various platforms such as film and drama starting with this contract.
