Kim Seul-ki (born October 10, 1991) is a South Korean actress who has appeared in numerous critically acclaimed dramas such as Oh My Ghost (2015), Splash Love (2015), and The Guardians (2017). She was also a former cast member of SNL Korea, a tvN entertainment show.

Career

Kim, who was born in Busan, has always enjoyed making people laugh. According to an interview, she began to prepare for a career in professional acting during her third year of high school in order to overcome a broken heart. She eventually enrolled at the Seoul Institute of the Arts, South Korea^/s premier arts and entertainment university. In 2011, she co-starred in Venture to Meet ( ), a 30th anniversary memorial play about a college society, with Jang Jin, a well-known film director. Months later, in mid-2011, when Jang Jin was looking for cast members for the live comic variety show SNL Korea, he hired Kim. While consistently gaining support on this experimental live show, her popularity skyrocketed, particularly in the latter half of 2012.

She is a member of both the so-called "Jang Jin^/s Division" (), a group of entertainers influenced by Jang Jin, and Film-it-suda (), his entertainment company.
