Early years and education
Born in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea,[1] Kim grew up as an only child in Bongcheon-dong, a neighborhood in Seoul. He describes himself as introverted and insecure during his childhood and teenage years, which he attributes to a traumatic incident in his childhood. During a home robbery, his mother was stabbed with a knife, and Kim narrowly escaped the attack by hiding under his bed.[2][3] He slowly overcame this trauma through acting after enrolling in an acting academy during his third year of high school.[4][5][6][7]
After finishing high school, Kim studied at the Seoul Institute of the Arts where he received a degree from the Department of Broadcasting and Entertainment.[5] During his studies, he joined his campus theater club Theatrical Art Research Society [ko].[A] In the theater club, Kim started to act in plays such as My Town, The Seagull, and Chunpung's Wife.[4][8][9]

In autumn of the same year, Kim was triple-cast in season 10 of Aligator Theater Company's play Rooftop House Cat. Kim won the role of protagonist Lee Kyung-min after beating around 200 hopefuls in an open audition. He was then recast for seasons 11 and 12.[17] In 2015 he was cast for another title role in the Aligator Theater Company's play Purpose of Love.[18] Both plays are popular Daehakro (comparable to Off-Broadway)[19] romantic comedy open-run plays.[20]

I realized this time that he is an incredibly great actor. He is humble, very sensible, quick-witted, and emotionally rich. I think he is a very good actor." He laughed, saying, "He reminds me of myself when I was a rookie."
[On Kim Seon-ho's acting sense] "It was in very subtle things. Seon-ho is always good when acting, but there are moments when he switches from broad strokes to detailed, fine-tuned breaths. If you only go with broad strokes, it can become monotonous or one-dimensional, but he breaks up his breathing and passes it to others. Seon-ho has that ability, and I think we had good chemistry as well.

In stage acting, we can interact with the audience live, so we know their response right away. I think the audience contributes to the play as well because their laughter, or even the sound of their breathing instigates our next move or spurs us to do something more. That was an ecstatic feeling that I cannot forget.

I actively recommend my juniors to try a play. You have to try to perform on stage when you're still immature (unpolished), so you can do better later. If you look at Seon-ho, who chose to act on stage at a time when his value are through the roof, I think his mindset is excellent. I think he knows how it feels because he has been acting on the stage. I think it's good to act in stage a lot when you are still unknown. That way, you will have nothing to be afraid of.

In August 2021, he starred in the tvN drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha alongside Shin Min-a,[71] where he played an officially unemployed but all-around handyman in a seaside village of Gongjin.
