}} Song Seung-heon (; born October 5, 1976) is a South Korean actor. ==Career== Song Seung-heon began his career in 1995 as a model for the jeans brand ''STORM'', and first became known to viewers in the popular sitcom ''Three Guys, Three Girls'' in 1996. The following year he started his extremely successful career in TV dramas, which made him well known throughout Korea. His feature film debut came in 1999 in the film ''Calla'' together with star Kim Hee-sun. True stardom only came to Song in late 2000, however, with the broadcast of the hugely popular TV drama ''Autumn in My Heart''. The series was exported all over Asia, making pan-Asian and Korean wave stars of both him and co-stars Song Hye-kyo and Won Bin. Since then he has been actively recruited for film roles and advertisements in Japan, Hong Kong and other Asian countries.〔 In 2002, Song starred in the comic-action film ''Make It Big'' by director Jo Ui-seok, and also in the Hong Kong film ''So Close'' with Hong Kong actresses Karen Mok, Shu Qi and Zhao Wei. He also starred in ''Summer Scent'' with Son Ye-jin, the third "season-themed" Yoon Seok-ho TV drama after ''Autumn in My Heart'' and ''Winter Sonata''; ''Summer Scent'' did not become as popular as the ones that preceded it.〔 In 2004 Song appeared in two films, but neither was judged to be a success: ''Ice Rain'', shot in the Canadian Rockies, failed to enthuse viewers with its mixture of mountaineering and melodrama, while ''He Was Cool'', based on an internet novel by Guiyeoni, proved unable to compete with ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'' and other films from the 2004 summer season.〔 Meanwhile in late 2004, just as he was getting ready to start shooting another high profile TV drama ''Sad Love Story'', it was revealed that the actor had illegally avoided his compulsory military service by submitting tainted urine samples that suggested he was suffering from certain illnesses and was thus unfit for the army. Amidst the press coverage and scandal this aroused, Song agreed to immediately serve his two-year term in the military.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2004/11/04/2004110461016.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.kbs.co.kr/news/entertainment_news_view.html?No=1384 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.kbs.co.kr/news/entertainment_news_view.html?No=1592 )〕 Song was discharged on November 15, 2006 with the rank of Corporal, to much fanfare and media attention.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2006/09/08/2006090861018.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2006/10/20/2006102061004.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2006/11/14/2006111461007.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2006/11/16/2006111661015.html )〕 For a time he kept a low profile, trying to gauge public opinion on his return to the entertainment world. For his comeback, Song took on a tough image, playing aggressive and masculine roles in the 2008 drama ''East of Eden'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2008/09/05/2008090561018.html )〕 where he won an award but the public commented this as undeserving. He also started the 2008 film ''Fate'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2008/03/24/2008032461013.html )〕 and the 2010 remake ''A Better Tomorrow''. His popularity in Japan continued, and in 2010 he starred in ''Ghost'' remake ''Ghost: In Your Arms Again'' with Matsushima Nanako.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/05/15/2010051500286.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/11/19/2010111900339.html )〕 In 2011 Song returned to television in ''My Princess'' opposite Kim Tae-hee, his first romantic comedy. He considers the series a turning point in his career, saying, "Previously, I took on characters living a life full of ups and downs. For me, Hae-young was the first character that was so rich, bright and cheerful. I felt much lighter while acting the character." His 30-minute short film ''Lucid Dreaming'', helmed by director Chang of 2008 feature ''Death Bell'', was shot particularly for his fans in China and Japan and released on DVD in early 2012.〔Ko, Kyoung-seok (2011-10-05). ("Song Seung-heon to shoot short film for Asia fans" ). ''10Asia''.〕 Based on the original comic by Motoka Murakami and previously dramatized in Japan, in 2012's ''Dr. Jin'' Song played the titular smart and cold-hearted surgeon who takes a journey back through time to the late 19th century Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910).〔 He then played a cold-hearted loan shark and gangster who morphs into a successful businessman for his love in 2013 melodrama ''When a Man Falls in Love''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20130612001007 )〕 Song took lessons in martial arts and horseback riding for ''The Messenger'', in which he was cast as a Goryeo-era man who must relay a message that will shape the course of history; the film was later shelved in pre-production. In 2014, Song starred in Kim Dae-woo's erotic period film ''Obsessed''. Set in 1969 at the end of the Vietnam War, he played a high-ranking officer suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who falls into an obsessive love affair with his subordinate's wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2014/05/23/2014052300557.html )〕 In 2015, he starred in the Chinese romantic melodrama ''The Third Way of Love'', adapted from the online novel by Zi You Xing Zou, where he played a rich CEO who embarks on a romance with the high-powered lawyer (played by Crystal Liu) he hired to litigate a case for his company. ''Wonderful Nightmare'' followed, a romantic comedy in which a lawyer (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) dies and finds herself resurrected as an ordinary housewife with a husband and daughter. Song was next cast as a fighter pilot in his second Chinese project, the big-budget World War II film ''The Bombing'' with an international cast led by Bruce Willis. He will also star opposite Lee Young-ae in period drama ''Saimdang, the Herstory'', about the Joseon artist and calligrapher Shin Saimdang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2015/08/05/2015080501145.html )〕 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「Song Seung-heon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
