Kim returned to civilian life in July after finishing 21 months of obligatory military duty. At one stage he was set to complete alternative military service due to a cardiac condition, but the actor was permitted to serve on active duty after an additional physical examination.

Kim, 31, debuted onscreen in 2007 and shot to fame after appearing in the TV dramas Dream High (2011), Moon Embracing the Sun (2012) and My Love from the Star (2013-14). In 2015, at 27, he became the youngest winner of the KBS Drama Award for acting.
