Malaysian actor Muhammad Amir Haiqal Azhar, 27, from Semenyih, Selangor, has gained attention in the K-drama community for his Malay lines in two South Korean series, Taxi Driver 3 and Dead-End Job. Amir Haiqal discovered his passion for acting while studying production at Konkuk University in Seoul, after a friend encouraged him to join an acting class.
He has since appeared in seven dramas, two feature films, eight indie films, two theatre productions, and three YouTube dramas, learning from seasoned actors like Ko Chang-seok and Lee Min. Despite the challenges of breaking into the industry, Amir Haiqal remains committed to his acting career in South Korea and is open to Malaysian projects.
