Since his rise in popularity through the 2019 romance series "Love Alarm," South Korean actor Song Kang continues to win the hearts of K-drama fans with his small screen endeavors, with varying genres that have allowed him to showcase his acting chops.

Song debuted with a supporting role in the 2017 TV drama "The Liar and His Lover," but gained further recognition after landing a lead role in the Netflix original "Love Alarm."

In 2021, Song said in a press conference that his social media following grew "exponentially" after the first season of "Love Alarm." Currently, he has 15.2 million Instagram followers.

The 28-year old has also been dubbed the "Son of Netflix," having been cast as the lead in two of the streaming giant's original shows and with his other dramas made available on the platform.
