Among the most popular new series of 2025, "Love Scout" quickly climbed the ratings tree and most likely will receive some rave reviews from viewers.

However, the cast is still hardly known by most people.

This show captured the attention of many viewers for a couple of reasons, one being that a lot of the cast is already made up of established names in the entertainment world, the leads of which have the most experience.

Kim Do Hoon

Wu Jong Hun is the story's chaebol family member and manager of the headhunting company Love Scout -- played by Kim Do Hoon.

Born in 1998, Do Hoon debuted in the entertainment industry as a model before transitioning to acting.

His debut movie of 2018 is a small role in Gate, followed by a few months of K-drama debut as the male lead of the web series My Woy Poofy Love, and several months later, he proved his acting potential and naturally got another leading role in Your Imagination Becomes Reality.

He then slowly started to make a name for himself over the next several years, with a few more supporting parts as well as one of the leads in the 2021 series Here's My Plan.

2023 was the breakout year for Do Hoon, as he starred as one of the lead roles in the commercially and critically successful drama Moving.

This led to Do Hoon being cast in more dramas and films, even getting a major part in the 2024 drama Your Honor.

In 2024, he appeared in the Netflix series Agents of Mystery with much higher-profile stars like Lee Hyeri and aespa's Karina.

Do Hoon has been receiving acclaim for his Love Scout performance and will soon be one of the leads in the drama Dear X. The year 2025 will certainly be chock-full for him.

Although Do Hoon has enjoyed much greater success in his field than his peers, he has never been the subject of major dating rumors, so he's probably currently unmarried.

Kim Yoon Hye

A character to also watch out for in Love Scout is Jung Soo Hyun, a picture book writer and single mother played by Kim Yoon Hye.

Born in 1991, she began her showbiz career at a very young age, first as a child model and later appearing in a few music videos.

Under the stage name Woori, she debuted in 2007 in the show My Mom, Super Mom, scoring a lead role right away.

Since then, she began garnering more experience with several roles in the dramas My Sassy Girl in 2017 and 18 Again in 2020, before joining the cast in the highest-rating show of its time, Vincenzo, the following year.

She was already an established figure in the entertainment industry by then, but her breakout came with bigger TV roles in Shooting Stars and Goodbye Earth.

Yoon Hye garnered much international positive attention for her leading role in the 2024 year-end season drama Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born, and with her current role as a heroine in Love Scout is sure to gain even more movie star potential.

Yoon Hye has long been active as an actress in the acting industry, but because she has never opened up about her personal life, she has not had a scandal or a dating rumor, so she might still be single.

Lee Joon Hyuk

Love Scout features Lee Joon Hyuk, the male lead of the series, as Yoo Eun Ho, a single father who appears to be struggling and works as a secretary for the female lead.

Having been born in 1984, Joon Hyuk is one of the more experienced players with almost 20 years of playing professionally.

His first foray into the entertainment industry was through a 2006 music video, and he began acting in dramas in 2007, starting with First Wives' Club (2007).

Gradually gaining recognition with supporting roles, he became well-known through drama series such as Three Brothers, I Am Legend, and most notably, City Hunter in 2011 where he played one of the lead roles.

As his fame grew, he began to appear in more television programs and made his first foray into a Chinese drama, starring in a leading role in the series Fairy Tale in 2012.

Following his military service, Joon Hyuk returned to acting in 2014 with the drama The Spring Day of My Life.

However, he really started to break through back in 2017 in the drama Stranger and the film Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds — both of which had remarkable box office performances.

In subsequent years, he worked consistently, sealing his popularity with other major characters, particularly in the drama 365: Repeat the Year and Stranger: Season 2.

Most recently, he appeared in one of the main roles in the action thriller drama Vigilante and the film The Roundup: No Way Out in 2023.

Viewers and critics alike have been praising his amazing acting skills, with him bagging the Best Acting award at the Asia Artist Awards in 2020 while grabbing the Excellence Award at the MBC Drama Awards.

Joon Hyuk has played a plethora of roles over the years, including scenes suggesting romance, yet his actual dating life remains a mystery.

However, he later spilled the tea on his ideal type in a YouTube show interview. Speaking of the ideal type, he hesitated a bit.

He proceeded to elaborate, saying, for him, the number one thing is humor — he says he wants to be with someone he can laugh with.

At 40 and a man well acquainted with the inner workings of the entertainment industry, he's dated before but understandably likes to keep things a little quiet.

Han Ji Min

The female lead, Kang Ji Min, an ambitious headhunting company CEO, is portrayed by Han Ji Min.

The actress has been working for over two decades and has received the adoration of the audience and the respect of the industry as a whole, making her the most seasoned member of the cast.

She started as a model in high school, working in commercials and music videos; she was born in 1982.

She made her K-drama interactive article debut in 2003 when she appeared in the series All In and country writer of the popular show Jewel in the Palace.

Shortly after, she got her big break in 2005 as a lead in the drama Resurrection and earned the honor of Best New Actress and Best Couple from the KBS Drama Awards.

A car accident in 2006 during filming temporarily derailed her career, but Lee eventually recovered to return to acting, appearing in various dramas and films, including the historical Yi San and the romance series Padam Padam.

The popularity of the drama Rooftop Prince in 2012, in which Ji Min starred as the female lead, brought her even greater fame.

She received a lot of awards and became a K-drama star after this role.

In the years to come, she continued to take on more leading roles in projects like Hyde, Jekyll, Me and Familiar Wife and gained an abundance of acclaim for her role in the movie Miss Baek in 2018.

Since then, she has appeared in several hit dramas, headlining notable programs like The Light In Your Eyes, One Spring Night, Our Blues, and Behind Your Touch.

A long and prosperous career behind her name makes her one of the most demanded in the industry, and she was awarded the 2024 Blue Dragon Goddess by the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

Ji Min has periodically discussed her relationship history over the course of her career.

She confirmed in 2022 that she had been in love with a number of people who did not return her feelings.

She said that she was always worried they would shut her down and that she spent a while just observing from afar.

But the older she got, the more she felt that she should tell whoever she liked that she liked them.

This change of pace paid off for Ji Min, as in August 2024, she revealed that she was dating Choi Jung Hoon, lead singer of indie band Jannabi.

Ji Min was a longtime fan of this band and even went to some concerts and posted their songs.

It seems she started moving on from fan to lover in 2023 when her first meeting with Jung Hoon took place through a TV show as the pair sang a duet together.

The two also had a joint vlog with behind-the-scenes footage of their performance and just a few days later, were seen on what seemed to be a "romantic" date.

Although many fans were pleased to learn of their relationship, the news has also raised some eyebrows due to the 10-year age gap between Ji Min and Jung Hoon.

Some people thought the wide age gap was inappropriate, but they were both adults.

On top of this, a few netizens also pointed out that Jung Hoon's father has a shady business and was even sentenced to three years in prison for committing fraud worth $655,000.

Jung Hoon always denied his father's involvement in his business, even though Jung Hoon was listed as a company shareholder, but many netizens remain unconvinced and blasted Ji Min even more for dating a person from such a controversial family.

The couple looks to be going strong and happy despite the backlash they faced online.
