Ji Sung (or Ji Seong; real name Kwak Tae-gun) is a South Korean actor, born on February 27, 1977. He is best known for his roles in popular drama series such as Save the Last Dance for Me and Sunshine Hunting.

In June 2005, Ji Sung began his mandatory military service, drawing attention from the media when he chose to be a soldier rather than a public service agent.[1] He was designated as "public ambassador of military affairs" by the Military Manpower Administration in February, 2006.[2]

Prior to his conscription, Ji Sung was known to be dating actress Park Sol-mi, his co-star in All In.[1]
