Rocky Horror" in 2002, but his biggest dream was to be in the movie and television industry. After a few supporting roles in TV dramas, Kang got a chance to star in an independent movie called "The Visitor", in which he plays a mysterious and elegant preacher who has a touching story with a lecturer. The filming of "The Visitor" coincided with the open casting call for the family life TV drama "Go!

Tall, handsome, cool, and stylish, Kang was the perfect choice for the role of Gwoo Jae-hee, as he has the right combination of qualities.
In "Go, Kim Soon", Kang Ji Hwan's role is to be the best! In 'Kim Soon', Kang Ji Hwan portrayed a surgeon who is usually arrogant but is very passionate about his beloved. His natural and realistic acting, vivid facial expressions and charming smile without showing any trace of acting earned him a lot of applause. The movie "Go!

"Spark Game" is Kang's first movie after "Go! Kim Soon". Soon after the drama started filming, Kang Ji Hwan received more than 30 stitches in the corner of his left eye due to an accidental injury. In order not to affect the filming schedule, he only stayed in the hospital for a short period of time, and then went back to his role with a visible scar, which is admirable for his professionalism and dedication. After that, Kang Ji Huan starred in the romantic tragedy '90 Days, Time to Love', the period drama 'Capital Scandal', and the costume drama 'Quick Dagger Hong Jitong'. Although Kang has starred in different types of dramas and characters, he is able to play his roles with ease, and his excellent acting skills have been recognized by the industry and the audience, winning him several drama awards.

With his brilliant performance in "Movie is a Movie" and "Seven Levels of Civil Servants", Kang won seven newcomer awards and became the king of newcomers, which is another peak of his acting career.
Kang, who started his career late and is not a professional actor, has a tall and handsome appearance and innate talent for acting, and with his perseverance and hard work, it is only natural for him to achieve today's outstanding results, and I believe that his future career will be more and more brilliant.
