}} Jang Hyuk (born Jung Yong-joon on December 20, 1976) is a South Korean actor. He is best known for his leading roles in the films ''Volcano High'' (2001) and ''Windstruck'' (2004), and the television dramas ''Successful Story of a Bright Girl'' (2002), ''The Slave Hunters'' (2010), ''Deep Rooted Tree'' (2011), and ''Fated to Love You'' (2014). == Career == Jung Yong-joon spent most of his childhood and adolescence in his birthplace Busan, before making his acting debut in 1997 in the television drama ''Model'' under the stage name Jang Hyuk. Besides the teen series ''School'' and a minor role in the little-seen film ''Zzang (The Best)'', Jang appeared in the music video ''To My Mother'', the 1999 debut single of popular boyband g.o.d. He also acted in several music videos from his rap album, released in 2000 under the name ''TJ Project''. His career first began to take off in 2001 when he was cast in the lead role of the special-effects extravaganza ''Volcano High'' together with actress Shin Min-ah. His acting in the eccentric role drew praise from fans and critics.〔("Actors and Actresses of Korean Cinema: Jang Hyuk" ). ''Koreanfilm.org.'' Retrieved 2012-11-13.〕 In 2002 he continued to make a name for himself, starring in the sleeper hit ''Jungle Juice'', which made the top of the weekly box-office, and especially in the hugely popular TV drama ''Successful Story of a Bright Girl'' with actress Jang Na-ra. He also took a role in ''Public Toilet'', the HK-Korea co-production by acclaimed Hong Kong director Fruit Chan which won a Special Mention in the Upstream section of the 2002 Venice Film Festival.〔 In 2003 Jang appeared with actress Lee Na-young in the comedy ''Please Teach Me English'', by director Kim Sung-su. His next project was even more high-profile, opposite top star Jun Ji-hyun in Kwak Jae-yong's ''Windstruck''. Although this film was generally not well received in Korea, it went on to beat ''Shiri'' and become one of the best-selling Korean films in Japan.〔 In late 2004, together with fellow actors Song Seung-heon and Han Jae-suk, Jang was found to have illegally avoided his mandatory military service.〔 Amid widespread public condemnation, Jang apologized to his fans, then began to serve his two-year term.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2004/09/19/2004091961025.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.kbs.co.kr/hallyu/entertainment_news_view.html?No=1592 )〕 After his discharge from the army in 2006,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2006/11/16/2006111661015.html )〕 Jang rejoined the entertainment scene through the drama series ''Thank You''.〔("First Script In Three Yrs: ''Like When I first Started...''" ). ''The Dong-a Ilbo''. March 15, 2007.〕 A heartwarming story about a young single mother (played by Gong Hyo-jin) with an HIV-positive daughter and the cynical doctor who enters their lives, ''Thank You'' surprisingly became a modest hit, and with it Jang left the stigma of his draft-dodging scandal behind him. He then signed up for the international movie production ''Dance of the Dragon'', a love story that mixed ballroom dancing with martial arts action and costarred Singaporean actress Fann Wong.〔("I am a dandy boy" ).

''10Asia''. March 11, 2010.〕〔("Interview: Actor Jang Hyuk - Part 2" ). ''10Asia''. March 11, 2010.〕 His acting coach of 14 years described Jang as being relentless in his analysis of a character.

October 25, 2010.〕 He won several acting awards, most significantly the Grand Prize ("Daesang") at the KBS Drama Awards,〔("Jang Hyuk scores top prize at KBS Drama Awards" ). ''10Asia''.

October 15, 2010.〕 Back in Korea, Jang played a fund manager-turned-lawyer in 2011's ''Midas'', also starring Lee Min-jung and Kim Hee-ae. Jang's character nabs the job of a lifetime working for a chaebol household, but it involves him in a high-stakes game of power that threatens to transform him into a money-hungry monster.〔("Will Jang score another success with ''Midas''?" ). ''The Korea Herald''. February 21, 2011.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2011022215401222063 )〕 He next starred in legal thriller ''The Client'' with Ha Jung-woo and Park Hee-soon, saying the film satisfied his wish to portray a more emotionally complex persona. Playing a man accused of murdering his wife, Jang said he had to find "the right balance" "as someone who can appear at times like a criminal or at other times like an innocent man."〔("Ha Jung-woo confident about Korean-style legal thriller" ). ''The Korea Times''. August 31, 2011.〕 Initially reluctant to sign on to period drama ''Deep Rooted Tree'' because he found the role of low-level royal guard Kang Chae-yoon uninteresting in the original novel, Jang changed his mind upon reading that the character had been dramatized and made richer in the TV script. It tells the story of Kang investigating a case involving the serial murders of Jiphyeonjeon scholars in Gyeongbok Palace while King Sejong (played by Han Suk-kyu) is developing the Korean alphabet.〔("Jang Hyuk said did not want to take the role in ''Tree'' at first" ).
