My Take
Kim earns my respect as a true climber. Starting as a model and becoming the first Asian to walk Dior Homme in 2008, with McQueen and Westwood on his resume, is no small feat in a notoriously gatekept industry. From Incheon, born in 1987, he leveraged that striking height into a steady pivot across film, television, and stage. The aviation-science-high-school background adds an unexpected, likable wrinkle. Korean acting is deep with talent, but I'm partial to the self-made charmer who built range the hard way, and Kim's understated, mature screen charisma keeps me watching.
