Kim Won-shik



Korean star Kim Won-shik recently arrived in the Philippines!

The talented artist has shown his acting prowess through his appearances in Korean drama series such as True Beauty and Alchemy of Souls. He was also a part of Netflix's dating series titled Love Like a K-Drama.

Aside from his projects in Korea, Kim Won-shik also had the chance to work with Filipino actors as he starred in Universal Records Philippines' mini-series Pag-Ibig Na Kaya with Kapuso stars Julie Anne San Jose, Rayver Cruz, and Korean-German singer Yoon Jayden.

One fun fact about the Alchemy of Souls actor is that he studied in the Philippines for six and a half years. In an interview with GMANetwork.com, Kim Won-shik said that the Philippines feels like his second motherland.

“I've been to a lot of places here in the Philippines and I love the places. I stayed here when I was young. It feels like this is my second motherland. So, it's really familiar all the time when I come here and, still, my mom is living here with my cousins. So I feel comfort here and I really want to meet people who are supporting me,” he shared.
