- Actor
Shin Hyun-june (b. March 24, 1968) was an athletics major at Yonsei
University before starting a career in modeling and acting in 1989. His
film debut came in veteran director Im Kwon-taek's stylish Son of a
General series, set under the Japanese occupation in the 1920s. For the
first half of the 1990s he continued working with Im Kwon-taek and also
acted in Hwa-om-kyung, Jang Sun-woo's award winning film based on the
Avatamska Sutra. In recent years Shin has turned more towards popular
cinema, finding his greatest success in fantasy/sci-fi works such as
The Gingko Bed, The Soul Guardians, and the Korean-Chinese coproduction
Bi-chun-moo. His most recent work was the third film by director Jang
Jin (The Spy), where he acted opposite TV star Won Bin and Shin
Ha-kyun. He drew praise in his film for his acting, and the film went
on to become hugely successful at the box-office. His next feature will
be titled Blue, directed by Lee Jeong-guk.
