Here, VOI summarizes the 4 charms of Jing Ki Yong.

1. Handsome and 'Arrogant'

Of course, a handsome face is Jan Ki Yong's first charm. Di Jang Ki Yong himself started his career in the modeling industry, not acting. He only made his debut as an actor in 2014 as a guest on "It's Okay, That'l's Love".

The firm lines on his face show his charm as an 'arrogant' man who has high self-esteem. Just look at his first appearance in the following Korean drama.

After that, he was offered roles in various television series. His face became known through the drama series "Confession Couple" (2017), "My Mister" (2018), "Come and Hug Me" (2019), "Search WWW" (2019), and "My Roommate is A Gumiho" (2021).

2. Multi-Talented

Jan Ki Yong's intelligence can be seen from several things he has mastered. Like his story in the drama Now We are Breaking Up, he likes to take pictures and also likes to be photographed as a model.

he also dreams of becoming a professional model. However, because he did not come from a family that was in the entertainment industry, he did not dare to express his interest to his family.

His father is the type of parent who prioritizes education. Therefore, during his second semester at Ulsan High School, Ki Yong prepares for the college entrance exam.

In his third year, Ki Yong tries to discuss his possible future career with his parents. Between entering college or following the interests and skills he has so far. For him, the world of fashion and modeling makes her more passionate than sitting in college.

While in college, he continued to show his sincerity to the world of fashion and modeling, until finally his father said, "If you really like it and can do it well, do it."

Not stopping studying at Yong In University, Ki Yong also studied and completed his modeling and acting education at Seokyeong University. As a new star in the world of cinema, Ki Yong idolizes Cha Seung Won who is successful in modeling and acting.

3. Never Gives Up

Predictably, his parents did not approve of his career choice. Ki Yong was disappointed, but he was not discouraged. He still enrolled and graduated as a student at the Department of Acting-Music at Yong In University, Seoul.

Ki Yong, who was 19 years old at the time, was still determined to pursue his dream. He visited KPlus (now YGKPlus), but did not pass the selection to join this modeling agency.

He then tried his luck at the same agency the following year. He got a chance to take a photo and it turned out that she passed the recruitment as a new model.

His career as a model began at the 2012 S/S General Idea Collection Show during Seoul Fashion Week. From this experience, Ki Yong, who was known as a shy and introverted child since childhood, suddenly had a tenfold increase in self-confidence.

4. An Achiever

Ki Yong showed his seriousness in the modeling world by winning an award as one of the twelve promising Rookie Models by the Korean Model Association, a Fashion Model Award at the 2014 Asia Model Awards, and Best Dressed Model at Korea's Best Dresser Swan Awards 2015.

In 2013, she was included in the music video for IU's The Red Shoes and Friday. This music video had created a sensation and attracted the interest of many people. Several body care and fashion brands, such as Nivea Men, Estee Lauder, and Lancome, are starting to look at this young figure.

His role in the series "It's Okay, That's Love" (2014) he managed to get without an audition. In the same year, he was cast in the drama "School Girl Detective".

Ki Yong then auditioned for acting in the more serious drama, "The Greatest Marriage", and was selected. He beat other actors who were considered to perform five times better, simply because he suited his role and image better.

In his acting in the series "My Sister", Jan Ki Yong won the Best New Actor award at the 2018 APAN Star Awards. He got the same award again at the 2019 Baeksang Arts Awards through "Come and Hug Me".
