Kim Hye-yoon: Dramas, Films, Height, Age and Current Work

Date of birth: November 10, 1996 · Self-reported height: 158 cm (STARNEWS Korea, entertainment news) · Profession: Actress · Nationality: South Korean · Drama credits: Sky Castle, Extraordinary You, Lovely Runner, No Tail to Tell

Her birth date, November 10, 1996, is listed by both Wikipedia (biography entry) and IMDb (film database listing), which makes it the firmest fact here. Kim Yoon-hye, born in 1991, is a separate actress, and the two are easy to mix up.

Eight fields, one pattern: the personal basics agree across sources, and height is the only row where the figures split.

What are Kim Hye-yoon’s upcoming dramas?

Her past credits are easier to confirm than her schedule. Dated credits come from encyclopedic and trade sources, while upcoming projects need a broadcaster or studio announcement, and the source set does not supply one for each.

Which dramas has Kim Hye-yoon starred in?

• SKY Castle (JTBC, 2018–2019): breakthrough as Kang Ye-seo, cast from a pool of 200 applicants (Wikipedia, biography entry)
• Extraordinary You (MBC, 2019): her first leading television role, as Eun Dan-oh (Wikipedia, biography entry)
• Snowdrop (JTBC, 2021–2022): role of Kye Boon-ok (Wikipedia (filmography page))
• Lovely Runner (tvN, 2024): Im Sol opposite Byeon Woo-seok, according to Asian World, K-drama profile site
• No Tail to Tell (SBS, from September 2026): Eun-ho (Wikipedia, biography entry)

Did Kim Hye-yoon appear in Lovely Runner?

• Yes. Asian World lists her as Im Sol in the 2024 tvN series, opposite Byeon Woo-seok (Asian World, K-drama profile site).
• According to DramaWiki (fan-edited award listings), the pair shared a Best Couple Award at the 2024 APAN Star Awards and Asia Artist Awards.

Upcoming work is where the evidence thins. Three projects appear in the source set, and none has a broadcaster or studio announcement in the set.

• Good Partner 2 (SBS, judicial drama): Kang Hye-sung/Kang Hye-seong opposite Jang Na-ra, with a premiere of November 20, 2026, according to Asian World, K-drama profile site
• Land and High School Detective: named as upcoming projects by STARNEWS Korea, ranking coverage, with no dates given
• The Miracles of the Namiya General Store (Disney+ adaptation): cast listing scheduled for 2027 airing, per Kdrama Kopi, actor profile

The implication: a project becomes a fact only when a broadcaster or studio dates it, and right now only the Good Partner 2 premiere carries a specific date, from a single profile site.

Is Kim Hye-yoon married?

Marital status is the question where the sources clash, so it needs the most care.

• IMDb lists a spouse described as a publicly unnamed husband, with a date of October 25, 2025 (IMDb, film database listing).
• According to IFANN (fan-run profile wiki), no confirmed marriage or long-term partner has been documented in credible sources as of 2026.
• The source set contains no official agency statement on the question.

Until an agency statement or a Tier 1 or Tier 2 report addresses the question, treat the marriage line as unverified.

Is Kim Yoon-hye the same person as Kim Hye-yoon?

• No. Kim Yoon-hye was born May 24, 1991, in Seocho-dong, Seoul (Wikipedia, namesake biography).
• Kim Hye-yoon was born November 10, 1996 (Wikipedia, biography entry).
• Kim Yoon-hye married a non-celebrity on October 25, 2025, at a hotel in Jung District, Seoul (Wikipedia, namesake biography).
• Her 2026 role is Baek Bora in KBS 2TV’s A Love Other Than Yours, reported by The Chosun Ilbo (Korean national daily) on November 2, 2026.

The implication: when a spouse entry carries a namesake’s wedding date, the record needs checking against an agency statement before anyone repeats the marriage.

How tall is Kim Hye-yoon?

Height is the figure most likely to be repeated without checking. The record holds two values, 158 cm and 160 cm, and the database entries lean toward the larger one.

Four entries, one pattern: her own on-air figure sits at 158 cm, while the databases converge on 160 cm.

At a tvN appearance on April 30, 2026, she told STARNEWS Korea (entertainment news) that she once failed an audition because of her height.

The trade-off: 158 cm is her most direct statement but not a measurement, while 160 cm appears in databases whose sourcing the record does not show.

How old is Kim Hye-yoon?

Asian World gives her age as 29 as of late 2026. A November 10, 1996 birth date, listed by Wikipedia and IMDb, makes her 30 from November 10, 2026.

The implication: the age answer follows from the birth date, which both databases list, so the profile site’s 29 is the figure to check against that date.

Why is Kim Hye-yoon so popular?

Popularity is easiest to measure through rankings and named awards, so this section relies on those rather than adjectives.

• Topped the female actress list in the 183rd Star Ranking round, held September 17–24, 2026, with 18,239 votes (STARNEWS Korea (ranking coverage)).
• Best New Actress (TV) at the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards for SKY Castle (Wikipedia, biography entry).
• New Actress and Excellence Actress honours at the 37th MBC Drama Awards for Extraordinary You (Wikipedia, biography entry).

Box-office claims are thinner. According to a KBizoom (entertainment headline site) headline, Salmokji topped the box office for 21 consecutive days, and no second source in the set confirms it.

The pattern: the figures that hold up are rankings and named awards, while the box-office claim rests on one headline.

What is Kim Hye-yoon doing now in 2026?

The newest dated item in the source set is a Star Ranking placement from late September 2026, so this section works forward from there.

Is Kim Hye-yoon still acting?

• No Tail to Tell began airing on SBS in January 2026 (Wikipedia, biography entry).
• Salmokji: Whispering Water opened in cinemas on April 8, 2026 (Wikipedia, biography entry).
• Guest appearance on a tvN variety show, reported April 30, 2026 (STARNEWS Korea, entertainment news).

The source set contains no dated acting activity after these entries, and the Good Partner 2 date comes from a single profile site.

What this means: the most recent dated activity runs to September 2026, so any later claim needs its own dated source before it appears here.

The two quotes below come from Kim Hye-yoon’s own remarks, and a profile site summarizes the same appearance in a second voice.

“I failed auditions because of my height.”

She said she is 158 cm tall and had told audition panels she was 160 cm because of a height complex.

Summary by Asian World, K-drama profile site, of her You Quiz on the Block remarks

Her career record is the part readers can lean on today, and the personal record is the part that still needs a primary source. For editors and fans who repeat her height or marriage status, the choice is clear: attribute 158 cm to her own remarks with a dated citation, or leave marriage out until an agency statement appears.
