Kim Seung-jun

Kim Seung-jun is a South Korean voice actor born and raised in Seoul, South Korea.
In 1990, he debuted as a voice actor by joining Korean Broadcasting System's Voice Acting Division. After four years of exclusive work at KBS, he became a freelancer.
Since then, he has voiced leading roles in a variety of animated works including Pet Shop of Horrors, His and Her Circumstances, Saiyuki, Fruits Basket, The Prince of Tennis, Detective School Q and Demon King from Today!. For movie fans, he is well recognized for covering film stars such as Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Johnny Depp, Leslie Cheung, Matt Damon and Stephen Chow. Kim also dubbed Saladin on a 1999 South Korean role-playing video game The War of Genesis III.
Many fans of Kim often refer to him as 왕자님 meaning "The Prince". The nickname seems to have been derived from his tender voice and the characters who the voice actor mainly dubs.

==Trivia==
*He dubs most of 's roles in movies/films.
*He is KBS's twenty-second voice actor.
*He graduated the .
*His wife is Shim Jeong-hee and she is CIC Media's director.
*Currently, he is the founder of the voice actor academy 'Soundist Academy' and teaches students. Representative examples include his junior voice actors, Jeong Jae-heon and Hong Beom-gi, who received his teachings. As he is a former Marine, his teaching methods are strict and he is known among his students as a tiger teacher in terms of acting instruction. His senior, Jeong Mi-sook, revealed in the audio program <God of Dubbing> that he is strict with other voice actors as well.
*Back then, he used to have a heated rivalry with Jeong Mi-sook (Petty's Korean voice actress). This fact was revealed by Mi-sook herself. Both of them have strong egos and are very opinionated, so when Mi-sook gives guidance, Seung-jun argues back by saying, "I don't like your methods," and their opinions clashed a lot. However, their relationship has improved at some point now.
**Ironically, he worked with Mi-sook for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and ONE PIECE.
*He was very close with his fellow voice actor Kim Il, who is now deceased, and they worked together on several works.
*In The God of Dubbing, Soyeon, his junior voice actor, mentioned that he is a well-known smoker among the Korean voice actors. Because of this, his fans are worried about his health after seeing many voice actors pass away from chronic illnesses caused by drinking and smoking.
*As mentioned above, he is very opinionated, and there is an anecdote that when he was dubbing the Korean version of <ふしぎ遊戯>, he got angry and scolded his senior voice actor, Seong Yu-jin, who burst out laughing while watching other voice actors' acting immersed in their emotions. If anyone think about the voice acting world of the 1980s and 1990s, when seniority and juniority were very strict, he was a man of incredible courage at that time. Until the early 2000s, the Korean voice acting world was just as strict as the Japanese voice acting world in terms of discipline among theater companies.
*Because his voice and tone were very similar to that of his senior voice actor, Jang Se-jun, he continued to play the characters that Jang Se-jun had played after his death.
*He worked with Lee Seon, Hong So-young, Kang Hee-sun and Kang Soo-jin outside of Dibo the Gift Dragon (especially animes) such as Detective Conan, Being Ian, Cool World, Inuyasha, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and many more.
