Starting his entertainment career with minor roles, Kim Min Kyu eventually moved to second lead characters which earned him the big fan following that he currently possesses. Some of these memorable roles include those in K-dramas like ‘Signal’, ‘Because This Is My First Life’, ‘The Rich Son’, ‘Perfume’, ‘Backstreet Rookie’, and ‘So I Married the Anti-fan’.

The tide successfully turned in his favour following his participation in ‘Business Proposal’ alongside Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Sejeong who played the main leads. Meanwhile, his pairing opposite Seol In Ah was immensely adored. They became one of the most loved second-lead couples. At the end of last year, it was confirmed that Kim Min Kyu would be enlisting for his mandatory military service in the first half of 2023.
