Biography

Song Kang-ho is a South Korean actor who came to film from social theater groups and never trained professionally, learning his craft instead at Kee Kuk-seo's company, where instinctive acting and improvisation were the rule. After years of turning down movie offers, he took a small part in Hong Sang-soo's The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well (1996), then won his first Best Actor award for his scene-stealing gangster in No. 3 (1997). Supporting roles led to a secret agent's partner in the blockbuster Swiri (1999), and his first leading role, in The Foul King (2000), made him a star. His award-winning North Korean sergeant in Joint Security Area (2000) put him among Korea's leading actors. He starred in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and drew international attention with The Host (2006), a reunion with director Bong Joon Ho, and later appeared in Snowpiercer (2013), his English-language debut.
