Shin Seung-ho (Korean: 신승호; born 11 November 1995) is a South Korean actor and model. As one of the leads, Shin received the most attention after appearing on A-Teen (2018).[2][3] He is also known for appearing on Love Alarm (2019), D.P. (2021), and Alchemy of Souls (2022).

Career

[edit]

At the age of ten, Shin started playing soccer, which he practiced for eleven years until 2016, when he quit after a knee injury and the realization that soccer was no longer the path for him.[4][5][6] He later began working as a model, walking in Seoul Fashion Week and Seoul 365 Fashion Show; he also reached the final stage of the SBS Supermodel Selection Contest.[7][8] At the same time, model Park Dool-seong advised him to become an actor to take advantage of his tone of voice, so he enrolled in an acting academy and joined an agency through auditioning.[4][9] He made his debut in the 2018 teen web series A-Teen, playing the male lead Nam Si-woo.[4][2] This was followed by two more roles as a high school student in the teen dramas At Eighteen directed by Shim Na-yeon and Love Alarm (2019).[10] In late 2020, he was cast in his first feature film, Baek Seung-hwan's Double Patty,[11] for which he also recorded a soundtrack song.[6]

He gained attention in 2021 for his portrayal of Hwang Jang-soo, a villainous sergeant who relentlessly bullies his juniors in the television series D.P.,[7][12][13] for which he was nominated for the Baeksang Arts Award for Best New Actor – Television.[14] While filming D.P., he received an offer to play Go Won, a grumpy crown prince who hides a sweet side, in the historical fantasy Alchemy of Souls.[15][16] The character, initially absent from the original script, was tailor-made for him by director Park Joon-hwa and the Hong sisters after meeting him, and Shin described it as the closest to his real-life personality.[16][17][18] Also in 2022, he starred as the leader of a gang of thugs in Weak Hero, a teen action series based on the webtoon of the same name, in which he once again worked with D.P. director Han Jun-hee.[19] Shin initially had to turn down the part because filming would have overlapped with Alchemy of Souls, but they eventually agreed to have him as a special appearance,[20] and despite his short screentime, he received positive reviews for bringing a three-dimensional character to life.[21] At the end of the year, he reprised his role as Go Won in the second season of Alchemy of Souls,[21] and was cast in his second feature film, Pilot, in which he played Seo Hyun-seok, a junior airline pilot.[22] In 2023, he signed contracts for two more films, the action movie Resurrected Man, based on a webtoon,[23] and the mystery thriller Only God Knows Everything.[24] The latter, released two years later, brought him awards as best actor at several international film festivals.[25]

In 2024, Shin joined the cast of the film adaptation of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint[26] and the variety show Handsome Guys;[27] he also started filming Audition 109, a remake of the 2009 film of the same name.[28] Briefly branching out to music, he formed band Kongaltan through the eponymous YouTube show with fellow actors Shin Hyun-soo, Son Woo-hyeon, Han Min, and You Hyun-soo; they released a single, "Snow Duck", and held a two-day concert at Shinhan Card SOL Pay Square Live Hall in December 2024 with Shin Seung-ho serving as their leader and vocalist.[29][30]

In 2025, he was cast in the television series Inside Men, set in the same universe as the 2015 hit film of the same name.[31] He also landed a starring role in 6 Lying University Students, a mystery thriller adapted from the Japanese novel of the same name by Akinari Asakura.[32]

[edit]

In October 2025, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency appointed Shin as the first official ambassador for the 2025 World Webtoon Festival.[33]
