Kim Jung Tae is a South Korean actor. He made his acting debut in 1999 with the film "The Uprising" under his birth name, Kim Tae Wook. In 2006, he started going by his current stage name, Kim Jung Tae. Best known as a supporting actor, he was often typecast in antagonistic roles, mostly as gangsters, loan sharks, and other such villains.

In 2014, he and his son Kim Ji Hoo appeared on "The Return of Superman", a reality show that follows celebrity fathers who take over caring for their children for a few days while their wives are away. They were originally guest stars in his friend Jang Hyun Sung's segment on episodes 20 and 21, but netizens liked Ji Hoo for his bright and happy personality and asked to see more of him.

Kim Jung Tae was later heavily criticized for bringing Ji Hoo while publicly campaigning for Na Dong Yeon of the Saenuri Party, who ran for Yangsan city mayor in South Gyeongsang Province in the local elections on June 4, 2014. His wife, Jeon Yeo Jin, responded that the family was just on a "picnic" and that she and her son had just stopped by to say hello to Na, who is an old friend of her husband. Yet, due to mounting criticism that a child had seemingly been exploited for political means, his agency, SidusHQ, announced a week after the incident that he and his son had chosen to leave the program.
