After the duo disbanded in 2005, his fame increased as an actor starring in Goong, a drama based on comic book of the same name.
He debuted as a member of Korean duo UN in 2000, an acronym for "United N-generation". After six years of success, the duo officially announced that they are disbanding in September 2005, and he announced that he was going to pursue an acting career instead. He had stated that considering the conditions of the Korean music industry prevented him from pursuing music he truly wanted to do. He didn't realize that he would become an actor and singer. He wanted to be a laboratory researcher. By 2005 he had already begun starring in Korean dramas, such as sitcom Orange and 남과 여 (A Man and a Woman) in 2004. He had said his final dream is to become a renowned movie director.
He previously attended Seoul National University (College of Dentistry) until he dropped out to focus on his acting career. He is now a senior in Chung-Ang University where he majors in acting.
