HWANG
JUNG-MIN

Hwang Jung-min was born on 1 September 1970 in Masan, South Korea. He studied drama at the Seoul Institute of the Arts before building a career on stage and screen.

He spent the late 1990s performing in theatre and musicals. After smaller screen appearances, Waikiki Brothers (2001) became an early feature-film milestone in his career.

Hwang won the Blue Dragon award for best leading actor for You Are My Sunshine. The performance revealed a different side of an actor who would go on to work across crime, drama and action.

In Veteran (2015), he plays a detective in Ryoo Seung-wan’s action film. The following year, Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing gave him the ambiguous role of a shaman in a rural horror story.

Hwang reunited with Na on Hope, playing a rural police chief in the science-fiction film. The film links below reflect the FLM.RED catalogue, not his complete filmography.
