Actor Moon Sang-min, unleashing the acting depth he has steadily built, has become a leading actor representing his 20s.

Debuting in a web drama in 2019, Moon Sang-min played Prince Seongnam in tvN's "Shurup" in 2022, earning a firm stamp of approval from the public as a rookie with both visuals and acting skills.

Moon Sang-min, who vividly portrayed a character who appears rough but possesses a warm inner nature, swept newcomer awards at various ceremonies including the "59th Baeksang Arts Awards" and the "2023 Asia Artist Awards (AAA)," announcing the birth of a bona fide "top-tier rookie." He then tackled the romantic comedy genre through tvN's "Wedding Impossible" and Coupang Play's "Cinderella at 2 a.m.," continuously expanding his spectrum in every project.

In KBS2's "The Gentle Thief," which concluded last February, Moon played Prince Dowol Lee Yeol, proving his presence that captivates all generations by anchoring the drama with a substantial weight and adding flexible emotional variations. He perfectly handled everything from a soul-change setting close to playing two roles to high-difficulty action and poignant romance, demonstrating even deeper acting depth. In particular, he received praise for building an "iconic character" by persuasively portraying emotional changes that vary by situation, including seriousness, playfulness, comedy, and excitement.

Moon Sang-min also shone in the Netflix film "Pavane," clearly revealing his presence as a "next-generation character actor." He once again proved the infinite possibilities as an actor by calmly depicting the raw face of youth living through a harsh reality, a role 180 degrees different from his previous ones. From the sorrowful gaze of someone living while giving up on dreams to the melodramatic eyes of someone in love, he expressed these with density, completing a portrait of youth that is unstable yet brilliantly shining.

Moon Sang-min has solidified his position as a leading actor representing his 20s by successfully leading not only his first leading role on terrestrial broadcasting but also his first film debut. He is receiving intense attention not only in the drama and film industries but also in the advertising world.

Meanwhile, Moon Sang-min is set to present another new face through the Netflix series "Beauty in the Beast" (working title).
