A career across screens and genres
Zo In-sung was born in Seoul on 28 July 1981. He entered entertainment as a fashion model in 1998 before building an acting career in television and film.
Early television work helped establish his screen career. He later moved between drama series and films, developing a body of work that spans romance, crime and action.
In Yoo Ha’s A Dirty Carnival (2006), he plays a low-level gangster trying to support his family. The role placed him at the centre of a story about loyalty and ambition in organised crime.
His later film work includes the political thriller The King and the historical action film The Great Battle. In Escape from Mogadishu, he plays a South Korean agent amid a dangerous evacuation.
Zo also appears in Na Hong-jin’s Hope. The titles linked below come from the FLM.RED catalogue and are not a complete list of his work.
