Life Imitates Art: Kang Ki Doong Is Becoming a Real-Life Twin Dad After Playing One On Screen

Sometimes a role feels like it’s setting up real life, and that’s exactly what’s happening for actor Kang Ki Doong. He just played a father of twins on television — and now he’s about to become one himself.

The Announcement

On July 29, an industry source told JTBC Entertainment News that Kang Ki Doong’s wife is currently pregnant with twins and has entered a stable stage of pregnancy. His agency, Spring ENT, confirmed it soon after, sharing that she is about four months along. The couple married in September 2024, making this their first children roughly two years into married life.

A Fittingly Poetic Coincidence

Kang Ki Doong recently wrapped tvN’s See You at Work Tomorrow!, which aired its finale on July 28 — playing Jeon Ki Tae, a supportive colleague to the show’s leads. As it happens, his character was also a father of twins, making this real-life news land with an extra dose of charm. Beyond that drama, he’s built a solid career across projects like Fight for My Way, Prison Playbook, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, and Reborn Rich, and he’s currently starring in, co-directing, and adapting the original play Tunnel No. 1, running through August 30.

Kang Ki Doong trained at the Korea National University of Arts’ School of Drama, an institution known for producing many of Korea’s leading stage and screen actors; more on the school’s history is available on Wikipedia’s Korea National University of Arts page.
