Actor Moon Sang Min has continued his rising trajectory, shedding his rookie label and being loved as a representative actor of his 20s.
Moon Sang Min, who debuted in a web drama in 2019, firmly made an impression on the public as a newcomer with both visual appeal and acting ability when he played Seongnam daegun in tvN's Under The Queen's Umbrella in 2022.
Portraying a character who appears rough but has a warm interior in a three-dimensional way, Moon Sang Min swept rookie awards at ceremonies such as the "59th Baeksang Arts Awards" and the "2023 Asia Artist Awards (AAA)", earning the well-deserved title of "rising star."
Since then, after appearing in tvN's "Wedding Impossible" and Coupang Play's series "Cinderella at 2 a.m.", he expanded into the romantic comedy genre, continuously broadening his range with each work, and in KBS2's "To My Beloved Thief", which ended on Feb., he played Dowoldaegun I-yeol, adding flexible emotional variations to a weighty presence that held the center of the story.
He demonstrated deeper acting chops by perfectly handling everything from a near dual role soul-change setup to high-difficulty action and poignant romance, captivating all generations. Viewers immersed themselves in Moon Sang Min's emotional shifts — serious yet sly, comic yet heart-fluttering — and he solidified his presence as a next-generation actor with strong performing skills through the Netflix film "Pavanne."
By calmly depicting the raw face of youth living a harsh reality completely different from his previous roles, he once again proved his limitless potential as an actor. He expressed with density everything from the resigned eyes of someone who has given up on their dreams to the romantic gaze of someone in love, completing a portrait of youth that is unstable but brilliantly shining.
From supporting roles to leads and his first film debut, Moon Sang Min has steadily taken steps, which is why attention is focused on his future moves.<
