BIOGRAPHY

Kim Kyung-min (Korean: 김경민; born February 13, 2001) is a South Korean actor. He plays Chu Tae-jeong in The Lie We Lived In (2026), the police detective at the center of the drama’s “dangerous cohabitation” premise.

His screen career is documented from January 2026, when he appeared in the drama 내 아들 딸은 내가 지킨다. He was cast the same year in The Lie We Lived In, released on Wavve. A self-submitted casting-agency profile lists an earlier 2017 stage credit in a youth theater production and describes skills in swimming, kickboxing and the Gyeongsang provincial dialect; this detail could not be corroborated by a second independent source and is not asserted as fact here.

No admissible source publishes his talent agency, education history, height, weight or blood type. A single casting-agency listing (174 cm, 59 kg) could not be corroborated by a second independent source, so those figures are not used per house policy requiring two independent sources for physical measurements.

BLGLFlix editorial view

The series he is in was written from nothing, which is now unusual for Korean boys love.

Kim Kyung-min (김경민), born 13 February 2001, plays Chu Tae-jeong in The Lie We Lived In, the eight episode 2026 production on Wavve and Viki. Its record here notes no source novel and no source webtoon. Somebody wrote it as a screenplay and it went into production on that basis.

Most of this genre runs on adaptation. A novel or a webtoon arrives with a readership, a proven story and a rights holder willing to co-finance, which removes a large part of the risk before a camera turns. An original screenplay has none of that, and a small streaming production choosing to write one is making a bet on the writing itself.

For the cast it changes the job. Nobody in the audience arrives knowing who these characters are supposed to be, so nothing is inherited and nothing is owed. A detective written into a two hander about a killer and his target has to establish the pressure from outside in a handful of scenes.

His screen career is documented only from January 2026, and no agency, education or public account could be confirmed. A birth date and one further early credit are what the sources support, and this page stops there.
