Park Yong-woo Biography

Park Yong-woo is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on March 16, 1971 in Seoul, Seoul, South Korea. Park Yong-woo (born March 16, 1971) is a South Korean actor.

But his career breakthrough would come in his first leading role, in dark romantic comedy My Scary Girl (2006) opposite Choi Kang-hee. Titled “Sweet, Bloodthirsty Lover” in Korean, Park played a timid college lecturer in his late 20s who finally finds his first girlfriend, only he begins to suspect that she may be a serial killer. With a relatively low budget and lead actors who were not particularly famous at the time, Son Jae-gon’s debut film was a sleeper hit and became the tenth top-selling domestic film of the year with 2,286,745 tickets sold. After its release, witty dialogue from the film were continuously quoted and parodied, and their performances made Park and Choi stars.

At the press conference of Kim Han-min’s 2009 thriller Handphone, Park said he hoped viewers wouldn’t interpret the two characters as simply good and evil, but as real people with understandable motivations within the context of their situations.

2010 marked Park’s return to television for the first time in six years in the period medical drama Jejungwon, about the establishment of Gwanghyewon (later renamed Jejungwon) in 1885, the nation’s first “modern” Western hospital which historical records show treated sick people regardless of their economic status despite the hierarchical society of the era. Loosely based on a real- life person, the protagonist Park played is born a poor butcher’s son and becomes Joseon’s first surgeon and an independence fighter.

Park spent the next several years acting in various genres. He played a kindly handyman with a crush on a piano teacher in For Horowitz (2006), a world-weary cop investigating the murders of orphaned girls in The World of Silence (2006), a detective who sacrifices his ethics to pay for his wife’s medical bills in Beautiful Sunday (2007), one husband of two partner-swapping married couples in Love Now (2007), and a suave con artist out to steal treasure in Once Upon a Time (2008).

Park failed the college entrance exams twice before he was accepted to the prestigious Theater and Film department at Chung-Ang University in 1991. He failed twice more when he joined MBC’s actor’s auditions, then finally passed in 1995. Park spent a decade playing minor and supporting roles on television and film, notably in Shiri (1999), Ditto (2000) and Age of Warriors (2003). He later said those ten years of experience enabled him to have greater freedom and control with his acting, and that he believes a person is not just born a good actor, but rather good acting requires much preparation and work, with some luck thrown in. Park said, “I guess every actor dreams of playing a main character and I’m not an exception. But for me, it is more important to become a good actor regardless of how big my roles are.”

In 2005, Park drew critical notice with his much-praised portrayal of the influential son of a paper mill owner in Kim Dae-seung’s period thriller Blood Rain (2005). He won Best Supporting Actor honors at the Chunsa Film Art Awards and the Korean Film Awards, as well as nominations at the Grand Bell Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards.

Park said in a 2007 interview, “Although I am not completely devoted to acting, it may look that way because I am not lucky enough to be able to enjoy my life fully. Although I usually get bored doing something for a long time, acting makes me feel alive and changes me; even though it entails pain. I want to be an extraordinary actor while being an ordinary person.”
