  • Native name: 안재환
  • Also Known as: An Jae Hwan, Ahn Kwang Seong, An Gwang Seong, An Kwang Seong

Ahn Gwang Seong, known professionally as Ahn Jae Hwan, was a South Korean actor. He graduated from Daewon Foreign Language High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Crafts from Seoul National University.

He made his debut in 1996 as part of the 25th open recruitment for talent at MBC. He immediately placed himself as a well-known and solid actor, appearing in many projects for the network due to his contract. In the early 2000s, he expanded his work and began appearing in many variety shows thanks to his quick and witty remarks.

He met comedienne Jung Seon Hee in late 2006, and they got married in November 2007. He established BeautyU Entertainment (뷰티유 엔터테인먼트) earlier that year, but some financial misfortunes forced him to sell several assets in order to cover all the debt. In addition, controversial remarks by his wife on her radio show halted all sponsors and made her quit the show.

He disappeared in early August 2008 and missed several recordings, but his manager simply attributed his absence to rapid weight gain due to depression. However, he was found dead in his car on September 8 due to carbon monoxide poisoning. A police investigation concluded no foul play was involved and ruled his death a suicide, but placed the time of his death somewhere between August 22 and August 24. He was 36 years old.
