The first round of tryouts will take place Oct. 22-23, and the second will follow on Oct. 29-30. The final list of professional bowlers will be announced mid-November.


The actor, 28, is well known for being a big bowling fan. During his fan meeting in 2014, he said: "I spend most of my free time enjoying bowling. I usually bowl with a 14 or 15-pound ball."

Kim debuted in 2007 in a supporting role in MBC sitcom "Kimchi Cheese Smile." He is best known for roles in the television dramas "Dream High" (2011), "Moon Embracing the Sun" (2012) and "My Love from the Star" (2013).
