5 Roles you didn’t know Kang Ki Young Played

AKP STAFF

As "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" was one of the most popular dramas of the year and skyrocketed the popularity and success of several actors in the drama, many are anticipating what other roles the actors will play. It also comes as a surprise that many thought that Kang Ki Young's character in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" would be the character to despise, but oh, how the tables have turned. Little did we know that Kang Ki Young's character would become one of the most beloved characters of the series. But did you know this actually was not Kang Ki Young's first role in a major hit drama? Here are five other roles that Kang Ki Young has played some of you may have already seen!

1. Park Yoo Sik from "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim": The best sidekick are the friends who help you put things into perspective so that you can think logically and make the best decisions, but what makes Park Yoo Sik hilarious is he starts to go on a rant of his own struggles with his ex-wife. Sadly, only to be cut off by Yeon Joon. Every. Single, Time.

2. Kang Suk Bum in "W Two Worlds": In "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" Kang Ki Young was protecting the lives of fellow citizens within the world of politics but did you know he also protected the lives of many within the medical field? Taking on the role of Han Hyo Joo's co-worker, Kang Ki Young in "W: Two Worlds," played the role of a cardiothoracic surgeon!

3. Heo Min Soo in "Oh My Ghostess": Another iconic drama that was a super hit, Kang Ki Young, can be seen playing the role of a pretty notable chef in a hell-bent kitchen.

4. Kang Dae Hee in "While You Were Sleeping": The tables have turned. Up until now, we have seen Kang Ki Young take on the role of a super nice, chill guy, but in "While You Were Sleeping," Kang Ki Young shows just why he's such a great actor. Taking on the role of an "innocent" chicken restaurant owner, as they say, looks can be quite deceiving. Turns out that Kang Ki Young plays a psychopath who ended up killing his younger brother for the sake of obtaining insurance money.

5. Kim Dae Ho in "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo": Maybe Kang Ki Young is the best fit within the kitchen, as he's seen playing many characters that end up being employed at a restaurant, specifically a chicken restaurant. Even in "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo," he plays the role of an uncle who co-owns a chicken restaurant but has big dreams of becoming an aspiring actor. Just a quick spoiler, he ends up catching the attention of one of the biggest K-actors ever, Lee Jong Suk!
