Park Myung-hoon is a South Korean actor born on 28 May 1975. His name is also romanized Park Myeong-hoon.
Park worked in Seoul’s theatre district before appearing onstage in the play Classic in 1999. He built a career in theatre before moving into film.
His independent film work includes Alive, Steel Flower and Ash Flower. Korean Film Council notes that his performance in Ash Flower led to his casting in Parasite.
In Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019), Park plays Geun-se, a character whose appearance changes the direction of the story. The performance earned him a Baeksang Arts Award for best new actor.
