Seo In Guk was born into a very poor family, they even had to collect recyclables to survive. He began dreaming of a singing career when he was 10, after listening to rock singer Kim Jong-min. As a timid boy, young Seo In Guk discovered his talent by performing on stage at family holidays and school events, and eventually he began auditioning for many prominent agencies. After being repeatedly denied and asked to lose weight, Seo In Guk had to battle bulimia and his vocal cords were damaged due to forced food eruptions. Despite the setbacks, he did not give up and in 2009 took part in the reality show Superstar K. As a result, he became the winner of the 1st season of the music program. Seo In Guk was in the spotlight, followed by a busy schedule of recordings, photo shoots, interviews and television broadcasts, and then the hit parades of singles and albums. Of course, Seo In Guk had to deal with the negative consequences of fame, namely, the rumors of plastic surgery (where else), and, of course, it was considered unfair that he became a star in the blink of an eye.
In 2012, Seo In Guk made his debut as an actor, playing a supporting role in the drama Love Rain. To develop his career in Japan, he signed a contract with the Japanese agency Irving Entertainment.
That same year, Seo In Guk landed his first starring role in the 90s nostalgic drama Answer to 1997. The image of a teenager unrequitedly in love with his childhood best friend, performed by Seo In Guk, has earned recognition from both viewers and critics.

On April 19, Seo In Guk visited YTN’s ‘News and Issues – Issue and People’ to share the heartbreaking story of trying to be accepted into JYP Entertainment. At the first JYP audition, he was told to come back later after shedding some weight. Hearing this, he developed unhealthy attention to his weight and bulimia. After losing weight, he returned to JYP, but this time he was told, "You've lost a lot, but I guess you didn't sing at all." Seo In Guk explained that his ligaments were damaged due to the forced eruption of food, so he could not sing well. Then they told him, “After this experience, did you lose hope for the next audition?”, to which Seo In Guk replied, “In fact, it gave me even more faith in myself.” I was so confident that I could look the judges in the eye on Superstar K. Seo In Guk also said he didn't even have £10,000 ($8.89) in his wallet while in college.
