Life and career[edit]

1992–2011: Early life[edit]

Born and raised in Ulsan, South Korea, Jang Ki-yong was born on August 7, 1992, and lived with his parents and older brother.[1] Growing up, Jang developed an interest for fashion and photography.[2] He saw a runway video from a fashion show starring Lee Soo-hyuk on the internet in his third year at Ulsan High School [ko] amidst his deliberation of possible future career prospects for college.[1][3] With his growth in enjoyment for magazines and pictorials, he soon wanted to become a model;[4] however, due to familial expectations, he prepared for the college entrance exam during the second semester of high school.[5] After revealing his dream career to his parents, they were initially reluctant and disapproved of his career choice. Eventually he convinced them to let him follow his dream, to which his father stated: "If you really like it and can do well, do it".[2]

To pursue his dream, Jang went to Seoul after passing the college entrance exam and enrolled in the musical acting department at Yong In University.[2] Describing himself as a "country guy", he often fantasied about the metropolitan city and viewing the King Sejeong bronze statue in Gwanghwamun.[6] 19-year-old Jang visited South Korean modelling agency, KPlus (now YG KPlus) in the hopes of being recruited; however, he was not immediately selected. He returned a year later and was given an opportunity to take a pictorial. Following approval from the company's staff, Jang was signed as their newest recruit.[2]

2012–2018: Career beginnings and rising popularity[edit]

At 20 years of age, Jang began his modelling career through the 2012 S/S General Idea Collection Show during Seoul Fashion Week.[7] According to Jang, modelling slowly reversed his timid and introverted personality from childhood.[8] Despite recalling his first year slow-paced, his credits in fashion shows at the time included Kolon and Caruso, and runway show credits included Loriet (로리엣) and Unbounded Avenue (언바운디드어위).[8][9] He was also selected as one of twelve promising rookie models by the Korea Model Association.[4] In 2013, his presence in the music videos "The Red Shoes" and "Friday" by IU brought him public popularity.[9] He went on to win the Fashion Model Award at the 2014 Asian Model Award ceremony in January 2014.[10]

Jang was met with an opportunity without the requirement of an audition by the director of It's Okay, That's Love (2014) to appear with label-mate Lee Sung-kyung.[11] His role created a buzz within South Korea despite having no lines and was dubbed the "One Second Cameo".[6] Later that year, taking acting more seriously, Jang auditioned for The Greatest Marriage (2014). While many other actors auditioned for the role, Jang was selected as he matched the role and its image more in comparison to the others.[6] He was also cast in the drama Schoolgirl Detectives (2014).[12][13] Jang's acting portfolio extended with his supporting roles in television series' This is My Love (2015), Beautiful Mind (2016) and The Liar and His Lover (2017) alongside web-dramas We Broke Up (2015) and Love for a Thousand More (2016), both co-productions of YG Entertainment and starred label-mate Kang Seung-yoon.[5] In 2016, he challenged himself with hip hop after being featured as a contestant in the second installation of Tribe of Hip Hop. His performance to "Doom Dada" by T.O.P of Big Bang garnered attention due to its fast-paced tempo and flow while its execution was praised despite his occupation as a model. Jang finished as a finalist among the top 10.[5]

In 2017, he gained popularity with his supporting character in Confession Couple (2017) as Jang Na-ra's college senior.[14] Jang cited the drama as a turning point in his acting career as he received various offers to appear in commercials and television shows and felt its effects when he was approached or recognized by people in their 40s and 50s.[7][15] With Yang Se-jong and Woo Do-hwan, Jang was dubbed a part of "Most Popular Actors Born in 1992" and "Rising Super Rookies" by media outlets in South Korea.[2] After its airing, he received casting offers for various dramas including My Mister (2018).[15] Jang chose to cast in the series for its director and writers as well as the character.[15] It also served as an on-screen reunion with IU since 2013. After it aired, Jang gained further recognition with his role as a cold-hearted loan shark.[16] His performance earned him the Best New Actor award at the 6th APAN Star Awards and nominations at The Seoul Awards, marking his first as an actor.[17][18]

In 2018, Jang was cast alongside Jin Ki Joo in his first leading role in the melodrama Come and Hug Me, taking on the role of a detective who has a fated relationship with his childhood friend.[19] His performance in the drama earned him the Best New Actor award in television at the Baeksang Arts Awards.[20]

Artistry[edit]

Influences[edit]

Throughout several occasions, Jang has viewed veteran model turned actor and label-mate Cha Seung-won as a role model in both the fields of modelling and acting since debut.[30] Having transitioned from modelling to acting himself, Jang stated: "I want to be faithful to my main job, movies and dramas, and be able to stand on the runway like Cha Seung-won during the fashion show seasons."[31] He also wishes to break the prejudice of "models can't act", just as Cha has done.[32] Jang also briefly cited South Korean veteran actor, Ha Jung-woo as a role model following his appearance on SBS' Healing Camp. Seeing Ha recall his experience prompted Jang to wish to become an actor like him in 10 or 15 years time.[33] Among actors overseas, Jang revealed the late Australian actor, Heath Ledger, as an influence for his diverse range in roles for acting.[34]

Impact and influence[edit]

As a model, his influence extended to model turned actor, Nam Joo-hyuk, to pursue a modelling career. His boost in confidence to wear braces also came through the encouragement of Jang, having also worn braces himself.[35]

In March 2019, Natuur, an ice cream franchise under Lotteria chose Jang as a model for their products, a first after 7 years following their rebranding. A representative revealed Jang is highly popular among women in their 20s and 30s, which is also their largest customer demographic, thus believing he would be the perfect pick. Various events and fansignings were also taken place.[39] An announcement in May through Sprite Korea confirmed Jang as their newest face and model for both their brand and their Summer 2019 Dive in Sprite Campaign along with singer Chungha.[40] Perfect World Entertainment 3D adventure and fantasy MMORPG Perfect World announced on October 1, Jang was selected as a promotional model alongside veteran singer Kim Jong-kook and label-mate Rosé.
