Actor Lee Ki-taek is joining Keyeast.

On the 1st, Keyeast said, “We have signed an exclusive contract with actor Lee Ki-taek, who has endless potential. As he has steadily acted with sincerity and strong passion, we will actively support Lee Ki-taek so that he can demonstrate his true worth as an actor in more diverse works.”

Lee Ki-taek, who debuted as a model at the 2018 S/S Hera Seoul Fashion Week, first caught the attention of the advertising industry with his distinct features, eyes full of deep pathos, and tall physique. After that, he began his acting career through the 2020 web drama ‘Two Women‘s Dangerous Cohabitation - In Seoul 2’, and built up his filmography with tvN’s ‘The Devil Judge’, KBS2‘s ‘When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon’, ‘Three Siblings Be Brave’, and tvN’s ‘O‘PENing 2023 - Shoot Me’.

In particular, Lee Ki-taek, who played the role of Yoon Teo, the design team leader of the home furniture brand ‘Dreve’, in the TV CHOSUN drama ‘My Happy End’ last year, left a deep impression with his consistent innocent love for Seo Jae-won (played by Jang Na-ra) while also creating excitement with his mysterious aura. Then, in the ENA drama ‘Namib’, he played the role of Chris, who becomes the manager of an entertainment establishment after being released from being a trainee, and received favorable reviews for his delicate portrayal of the psychology of a character conflicted between dreams and reality.

Like this, Lee Ki-taek has attempted transformation with each of his works, and attention is focused on the journey he will take with Keyeast as an actor who is more anticipated tomorrow than today.

Meanwhile, Keyeast, which includes Cha Seung-won, Kim Hee-ae, Chae Jung-an, Park Myung-hoon, Seo Jung-yeon, Han Sun-hwa, and Kang Han-na, showed growth as a large studio by releasing six works last year, including KBS2‘s ‘Iron Family’, Coupang Play’s original series ‘Family Plan’, tvN‘s ‘Ask the Stars’, and Disney+’s original series ‘Trigger’. In addition, it has continued its dazzling steps as a comprehensive entertainment company by newly establishing an entertainment production division and presenting ENA‘s ‘My Child’s Private Life’.
