Kim began his acting career on television with a minor role in the KBS youth drama School 1.[2] Four years later, he passed the Talent Audition conducted annually by MBC, and appeared in various minor roles on the network's shows, such as Be Strong, Geum-soon!.[3] During this time, he was using the stage name Lee Han, which he made up to avoid confusion with Kang Nam-gil, another Korean actor with a similar name, and to give himself a more sophisticated image.[4] In the following years he took on more supporting roles in television dramas, among them Goodbye Solo,[5]Lovers,[6] and When Spring Comes.[7]

In , Kim was cast as one of the supporting characters in the historical drama Queen Seondeok, in a role that would soon change his life.

It became one of the highest-rated TV series of that year (reaching a peak of over 40%[8]), and Kim became a household name and the series' breakout star.[9] For his portrayal of the playful but tragic Bidam, Kim said he was inspired by comic book characters such as Han Bi-kwang in Ruler of the Land, Miyamoto Musashi in Vagabond, and Kang Baek-ho in Slam Dunk.

The writers rewrote the script to respond to Bidam's popularity with the viewing audience, giving the character more screen time and emphasizing his romance with the titular Seondeok (despite the incredible historical inaccuracy), until there were two main male leads in the series.[10][11][12] A horse-riding-related injury on set,[13] and a brief hospitalization due to H1N1 flu,[14] were minor negatives compared to the impact the series had on Kim's career.

He was then cast in 's Public Enemy Returns, where he worked with the actor Jung Jae-young.[33] Kim had stated in interviews that Jung Jae-young, who attended the same high school he did, had been his role model as an actor. Upon the influence of the film's director Kang Woo-suk (but against the advice of his agent and manager[4]), Kim stopped using the stage name Lee Han and reverted to his birth name.[34] Later that year, he played his first leading role in a major commercial film, Portrait of a Beauty.[35] Though his co-star Kim Min-sun garnered most of the attention for the erotic costume drama, Kim's strong performance did not go unnoticed.[36]

Philanthropy

Kim was shocked by the lack of basic necessities he encountered during a relief trip with an MBC camera crew. He felt the camera's presence undermined his sincerity, and the PD advised him to use his popularity to draw more participation in the efforts. This experience led Kim to believe relief work should be more systematic, as short-term visits could leave people feeling empty or alone again.

Kim discussed plans for "future work" that would not just provide immediate aid, but more importantly, instill in the people a belief that "they are not alone" - a fundamental approach he felt was more helpful than temporary relief.[57]
