}} Han Suk-kyu (born November 3, 1964) is a South Korean actor. One of the leading actors of Korean cinema, Han's notable works include ''Green Fish'' (1997), ''No. 3'' (1997), ''Christmas in August'' (1998), ''Shiri'' (1999), and ''The President's Last Bang'' (2005). ==Biography== Han Suk-kyu is known as a family man, avid golfer, fisherman and voracious reader. He collects animation by Studio Ghibli and hopes to join Ghibli voice cast one day as a Korean-speaking character.〔Korean wave star and neighbor Song Seung-heon aspires to be a family man like Han, who eschews the popular social life of drinking for domesticity of house chores and child-rearing; (Sept. 7, 2008 interview ).〕〔Sensational report of Han reading 100 titles a month, ( March 28, 2007. )〕〔Han on his family's admiration for Miyazaki; (May 8, 2005 interview ).〕 While a student at the Theater and Film department of Dongguk University, he sang in an amateur folk rock band. He took a brief, year-long contract as voice actor at KBS, before moving on to TV and film acting. After a debut in the 1990 MBC campus drama ''Our Paradise'', Han rose to stardom as "Hong-shik" in ''The Moon of Seoul'' (1994), a charming gigolo from the slums determined to attain wealth at all cost in the big city. "Choon-seop", an old friend from hometown played by Choi Min-sik, struggles hopelessly to stop "Hong-shik" from his self-ruin. The partnership of Han and Choi as uneasy allies or foes, parlayed into two flagship films of the 1990s: ''No. 3'' and ''Shiri''. Both the series and "Hong-shik" character have since become beloved icons, as part of the Korean television's golden era before the advent of Korean wave.〔Prominent TV writer Choi Wan-kyu aspires to create classic characters as Han's role in ''The Moon of Seoul'', ( July 25, 2007 interview. )〕〔Producer of ''Temptation of Wolves'' (2004) compares debut role of actor-idol Kang Dong-won to Han in ''The Moon of Seoul'', (August 20, 2004. )〕〔TV actor Kim Byung-se models his gigolo character in ''Chunja's Happy Events'' (2008) after Han's 1994 performance; (May 15, 2008 article )〕 The cast also features veterans who are now luminaries in Korean cinema: Na Moon-hee of ''The Quiet Family'', Kim Hae-sook of Park Chan-wook's ''Thirst'', and Baek Yoon-sik of ''Save the Green Planet!''. Before the end of the 20th century, Han headlined films that were critically acclaimed (''Green Fish'', ''No. 3'') and commercially successful (''The Contact'', ''Christmas in August'', ''Shiri'' -- the latter two making particular impact in Japan). Han's experience in the early stages of Korean cinema renaissance in the 1990s, cemented his belief in a script-driven model for movie-making. Thus the founding of "Makdong Script Festival" (named after his role in ''Green Fish''), with co-sponsor film magazine ''Cine 21''. Winners may claim two cash prizes funded by Han, with the potential to launch directing careers based from their own scripts. The annual contest is now extant over 10 years, with two titles produced so far: the comedy ''2424'' (2002) and ''Private Eye'' (2009) starring Hwang Jung-min. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Han Suk-kyu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
