Kang Seung Yoon made his acting debut in 2011 through the sitcom “High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged,” before debuting as a member of WINNER. He later appeared in dramas including “Prison Playbook,” “Kairos,” and “Voice 4.” His most recent acting project was the 2022 KBS Drama Special “The Season of Undies.”
