Early life
Yang Kyung-won was born on April 1, 1981, in Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.{{Cite web |last=이데일리 |date=2020-02-28 |title='사랑불' 양경원, 아내 천은성에 "항상 신경써줘서 고마워" |url=https://www.edaily.co.kr/news/read?newsId=01266086625675112&mediaCodeNo=258 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=이데일리 |language=ko}} From a young age, he had a passion for interior design, architecture, dancing, and singing. When the time came to choose a college major at 19, he prioritized stability and opted for a field that offered more security.{{Cite web |date=2020-02-19 |title=[인터뷰①] ‘사랑의불시착’ 양경원 "잘생긴 표치수? 배역처럼 보인다는 칭찬 아닐까요" |url=https://www.slist.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=136724 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=싱글리스트 |language=ko}} He enrolled to Kookmin University's Department of Architecture.{{Cite web |date=2020-03-04 |title=[인터뷰③]양경원, 건축학도→회사원→극단 입단 "롱런하는 배우 될 것" |trans-title=[인터뷰③] Yang Kyung-won, architecture student → office worker → joined the theatre company "I will be a long-run actor" |url=https://www.mk.co.kr/news/hot-issues/9231485 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=스타투데이 |language=ko}}
After completing his studies, he entered the workforce as an office worker in an architecture company. However, he soon realized that the job should be carried out by someone who could do it better and with more joy.
Career
This realization led him to join a theater company, where he received training in dancing and singing, eventually making his debut in a musical. He debuted in the entertainment industry with the musical 42nd Street in 2010.
Although he initially lacked a strong passion for acting, everything changed when he encountered his current theater company, Theater Ganda,{{NoteTag|Performance Delivery Service - Ganda ({{ko-hhrm|공연 배달 서비스-간다}})or "Gongyeon Baedal Service-Ganda) was established as Study Group by nine fellow students from Korea National University of Arts, often referred to as "Theater Ganda" (극단 간다). In September 2004, they officially registered "Theater Ganda" (극단 간다) as a theater group called "Pitdeongi" (핏덩이), with the average age of the members being 25 years old.
Current members include Kim Ji-hyun, Lee Hee-joon, Jin Seon-kyu, Kim Min-jae, Yang Kyung-won and Oh Eui-shik.{{Cite web |last= Lee |first=Jae-hoon |title=[인터뷰]'맨오브라만차' 김지현 "난 둘시네아, 그 변화 같이 느껴요" |trans-title=[Interview] 'Man Of La Mancha' Kim Ji-hyun "I feel like a change in two-one" |url=https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/003/0010361879 |access-date=2024-04-01 |website=n.news.naver.com |language=ko}}|name=Theater Ganda}} a performance delivery service, two years after his debut.{{Cite web |title=[SPOTLIGHT] 김지현, 유연하게 삶을 리드한다 [No.120] |trans-title=[SPOTLIGHT] Kim Ji-hyun leads life flexibly [No.120] |url=https://www.themusical.co.kr/Magazine/Detail?num=217 |access-date=2024-03-31 |website=www.themusical.co.kr |language=ko}}{{Cite web |date=2005-12-21 |title=[뮤지컬]작지만 큰 창작뮤지컬 ‘오! 당신이 잠든 사이’ |trans-title=[Musical] Small but big original musical ‘Oh!

In 2019, a casting director who admired his current theater company, Theater Ganda,{{NoteTag||name=Theater Ganda}} invited Yang to audition. During the second meeting with director Lee Jeong-hyo, Yang read a section of the Pyo Chi-soo role. However, when he received the script, the role wasn't as significant as he had expected. Nevertheless, he found it more appealing and felt thankful for the opportunity. Despite feeling pressure, he embraced the character's comedic aspects, even though he didn't consider himself naturally funny.
The role of North Korean soldier Pyo Chi-su in the drama Crash Landing on You became Yang's breakthrough role. He mentioned, "But the method was all in the script. The lines were written so attractively, and the situations themselves were written in an interesting way, so I thought I could execute it well without adding or subtracting. However, the atmosphere on set was so good, and everyone was working hard to film, support, and push me, so I forgot about it. That's it." Yang's wife also practiced the script with him and remarked, "Oppa, this character will be really attractive as long as you make the right choices." This made him nervous again. Everyone could feel it after reading the script. That's why, even if someone else played Pyo Chi-su, they would still have great material. "I guess they were loved because they were fresh and high-quality organic products. I was very lucky and took charge of them."{{Cite web |last=POP |first=헤럴드 |date=2020-02-22 |title=[팝인터뷰①]'사랑불' 양경원 "표치수는 내게 큰 행운..누가 연기해도 사랑받았을 것" |url=http://www.heraldpop.com/view.php?ud=202002221049089476301_1 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=헤럴드팝 |language=ko}}
Personal life
Yang Kyung-won married Cheon Eun-seong in 2018. Cheon Eun-seong is a musical actress who also holds multiple certifications in Pilates and works as an instructor. During her involvement in a musical production, she took a temporary break from her role as a Pilates instructor.{{Cite web |last=이데일리 |date=2020-03-02 |title='사랑의 불시착' 양경원 "아내 천은성, 진심으로 리스펙" [인터뷰]③ |url=https://www.edaily.co.kr/news/read?newsId=01305446625699384&mediaCodeNo=258 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=이데일리 |language=ko}}{{Cite web |date=2020-02-19 |title=[인터뷰③] ‘사랑의불시착’ 양경원 "아내 천은성, 뮤지컬 배우…대본연습도 같이" |url=https://www.slist.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=136722 |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=싱글리스트 |language=ko}}
