The first significant debut on small screens took place in 2016 in the drama KBS2 “Man in my house”. Despite being his first big role, Do Hwang impressed with his presence. Viewers noted that it made the drama more exciting.
This was followed by his debut on the big screen in the film “Master”, in which Do Hwang starred with Kim Woo Bin, Kang Dong Won and Lee Byung-hon. To perform this role, he even decided to have a short haircut. Since the shooting took place in Manila, Philippines, where it rained quite often and the temperature reached 40 degrees, Do Hwang faced some difficulties. He could not be under the scorching sun, so in the absence of filming, most often he was in a cafe, drinking coffee and writing a diary. Or, together with other actors in the hotel, he studied in the gym and swam in the pool.
For this role, Do Hwang received the award at the 53rd Baeksang Arts Awards in the nomination “Best Rookie of the Year”. Therefore, we can safely say that 2016 was an unforgettable year for him.
In 2017, Do Hwang got one of the main roles in the drama Save Me. He plays the cold-blooded and brave Sook Dong Chole, who hates injustice. Unlike friends, his marital status has made him grow up faster, but he's bright and cheerful when he's around them. And Do Hwang once again won the hearts of the audience with his charisma, strong acting and boyish smile.
In the same year, another drama was broadcast with his participation. This is the KBS crime drama "Mad Dog" about a special team pursuing criminals associated with major insurance fraud. This time, Do Hwang plays an elegant and confident crook named Kim Min Joon, who can become any person. He joins the Mad Dog team to uncover the truth about his brother’s death.
