JUNG Ji-hoon is among the world's 100 most influential people selected by Time in 2010. He is a passionate actor who has an overwhelming energy. He looks completely different when he sings on stage and acts on the screen. JUNG as a singer is a star who does not belong to commoners but JUNG as an actor in the movie is an average Joe who cries when he is sad and smiles when he is happy. But the common denominator between the two different personas is his passion and willingness to present his challenge to the world. He is adventurous but not conceited and his energy prevails but does not explode. His successful dramas make the best use of his characteristics. He has played lead roles that are afraid of getting hurt like a little boy in <Sangdu>, <Full House>, and <A Love to Kill>. <I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay> is a movie which accentuates his image. When JUNG’s character, Ilsun, promised to do lifetime after-sales service for a delusional girl who believed herself as a cyborg, he showed angelic and childlike persona. After starring as a powerful young car racer in <Speed Racer>, directed by [The Wachowski] (<The Matrix> Series), he delivered impressive act as a leading role in <Ninja Assassin>, directed by [James McTeigue]. He returned to Korea for his next role, as the lead in the Top Gun-inspired aviation action drama <R2B: Return to Base>, which was released in 2012, while the star was serving his obligatory military service. Next for the actor was another stateside trip as he took on a role in the Hollywood film <The Prince>, alongside the likes of John Cusack.Less
