Born January 1, 1952, is the consummate veteran actor, having starred in close to 70 films.
The korean press calls him "The National Actor". He made his debut back in 1957 in The Twilight Train, a film by cult director Kim Ki-young.

In the 1990s he continued to take high-profile roles, such as Jung Ji-young's Vietnam War drama White Badge and the politically-themed North Korea's Southern Army, the smash hit Two Cops by Kang Woo-suk, Park Kwang-soo's To the Starry Island, Im Kwon-taek's The Taebaek Mountains and Festival, Lee Kwang-mo's acclaimed Spring in My Hometown, and Lee Myung-Se's Nowhere to Hide.
