SHIN Hyun-joon made a name for himself by portraying similar characters from <The General’s Son> to <The Gingko Bed>. He is known for his trademark look as a stoic, manly and romantic guy. In particular, he mesmerized female fans by portraying a tragic man in <The Gingko Bed> who pursued his unrequited love for a thousand years. Unlike his sturdy appearance suggests, he has a good sense of humor and gentleness and has added some more colorful characters to his repertoire during his career. <Guns and Talks> was a turning point for his career path as he played a killer, who was an uncharacteristically silly and comical character. His acting style swings from testosterone-charged roles in <Blue> and <Shadowless Sword> to comical characters in <Marrying the Mafia 3: Family Hustle> and <Barefoot Gi-bong>. He joined the ranks of hallyu stars after playing a man in love for <Stairway To Heaven>. SHIN’s latest film performance was in <Unstoppable Family>, which opened nationwide just prior to the Korean Chuseok holiday. He is also active in TV as the host of an entertainment news program.
