Yoon Kye-sang (born December 20, 1978) is a South Korean actor and
singer. He began his career in 1999 as part of the K-pop boy band
g.o.d, then left the group in 2004 and pursued an acting career. He
made his acting debut in the film Flying Boys (2004), for which he won
Best New Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards. Yoon became active in both
television and film, with leading roles in romantic comedies such as
My 19 Year Old Sister-in-Law (2004) and Who Are You? (2008) and the
melodrama Crazy for You (2007), as well as more serious fare in The
Moonlight of Seoul (2008) and The Executioner (2009). After a
supporting turn in the hit series The Greatest Love (2011), he
returned to the big screen in the well-received indie Poongsan
(2011).In 1997 Yoon answered an advertisement for Park Joon-hyung's
project music group and had auditioned with aspirations of becoming a
rock star. Along with Danny Ahn, Son Ho-young, Kim Sun-a and producer
and singer-songwriter Park Jin-young, the group was initially called
"GOT6". Kim Sun-a left to pursue acting and was replaced by Kim
Tae-woo. The group became a five-member boy band called g.o.d, short
for "Groove Over Dose", and debuted in January 1999. Despite the
lukewarm response to their debut performance, the group would go on to
establish themselves as one of the most popular boy bands of the early
2000s. However, he left the band in 2004 and went into acting, making
his film debut in Flying Boys, directed by Byun Young-joo. He made his
television debut that same year in My 19 Year Old Sister-in-Law with
Jung Da-bin.Some of the group's fans called Yoon a "traitor" for
leaving g.o.d. The group would release their seventh and final album
before going on indefinite hiatus in December 2005.
