Profile

Lee Tae-hwan is a South Korean model, actor, and musician. This charming guy was born on February 21, 1995, in Seoul, South Korea. He was born into a rich family, and ever since he was a kid, he was adored by many people. Therefore, he was a bit mischievous. As a kid, he showed a large interest in sport, acting, and music.
In the beginning, his parents did not allow him to pursue his career as an actor, but as his career started to improve when he was in high school, his parents started to support his dream. Thanks to his lean and tall frame, he became quite successful as a model both nationally and globally. To enhance his acting skills, Lee Tae-hwan attended Sungkyunkwan University while majoring in acting arts.

At the age of eighteen, he started his career as an actor by forming a group of actors called ‘5urprise’ along with Seo Kang-joon, Gong Myung, Yoo Il, and Kang Tae-oh. All of them appeared in the high school drama After School: Lucky or Not. Unlike any other boy group, this group actually started acting first and released their own album later. The boys are now working under the talent agency Fantagio. Since then, his career, especially in acting, has shown significant improvement, and now he has worked on many drama series. Hopefully, in the future, he will get more prominent roles in acting. Good luck, Lee Tae-hwan!
