	Actors - Song Kang-ho

Song Kang-ho (송강호) (born January 17, 1967) is a leading South Korean movie star. He started his career in theatre groups without professional training as an actor.

In 1996 Song started appearing in film roles and his 1997 part in No. 3
, as a gangster training a group of recruits, won him his first acting award. Song's cachet rose with his high-profile supporting role in the 1999 box-office hit Swiri. In 2000, Song received his first leading roles as a wrestler in The Foul King
and as a North Korean sergeant in Joint Security Area, a role which made him into a bone fide star.

In recent years he has received critical acclaim for his portrayals of a vengeful father in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
(2002); an incompetent rural detective in Memories of Murder
(2003); and a barber who dotes on his only son in The President's Barber
(2004).
