Bio

Song Kang-Ho first worked in plays entering a troupe. And started working in film as supporting actor and minor roles that most people even couldn't notice. He caught his break through chance in 'Green Fish' as a supporting role with major impact. In 'No. 3' he actually created a syndrome from his role, when people started imitating his acting. He has always considered how sincere the director's message is portrayed within the film, and is now known as one of the best character actors in Korea.

first drama SERIES Aug 30 2022 4:49 am i did not even realize he has no series yet, he is everywhere !

Wtf Jun 06 2022 12:40 pm How is Song Kangho a rated 66 on this website? He's like easily top 5 best actors in Korea and arguably number 1. He's the only Korean that has gotten the best actor award in Cannes.

Can't see any other reason except for him not being the typical handsome guy girls swoon over here.

Elaine A. Skrobacz Mar 09 2022 8:51 pm I am a fan who has seen many of your movies. My favorite is Memories of Murder. What a perfect film!

Elaine Mar 09 2022 8:47 pm I am an American who is a huge fan.

Nellie Wong Aug 24 2021 2:15 am Song Kang Ho rates high with me. Great performances in "The Host" and "Parasite," I'm down with watching his other films.

3cizgi May 11 2021 11:38 am Song Kang-Ho Ki Taek a.k.a. parasite performance extraordinary.Thanks for article..

Boaz Chacko Mar 01 2021 11:20 am I watched the exceptional performance of Song Kang - Ho. Watched A taxi Driver. It gave me light into the struggles of South Koreans for the democratic process. Will watch more South Korean Movies.

Edith Feb 13 2021 11:13 pm Exceptional actor, your acting brought me to Korean Cinema. You are quite fascinating to watch!

Tee Sep 16 2020 1:33 pm Kangho and Dongwon together again. I'm here for it!!!

Daniella Jun 13 2020 5:10 pm @Dafuqboom; Hey! Not sure if you're aware but Korean movie/film actors are on a different level. These Chungmuro film actors are way different from the KDrama actors that you see. Song Kang Ho has several critically acclaimed movies and not all are with Director Bong Joon Ho. There are many film actors who don't do dramas because it's very time demanding compared to movies even if it takes months to film. It's not because he doesn't like it. Maybe he wants to do a drama but isn't interested in the scripts that are being offered to him?

uydu servisi Mar 15 2020 12:40 am Thanks Scott! I have been looking forward

Joe Aug 05 2019 3:55 am Excellent actor from South Korea, he can make you watch his movie even when the viewer is not fan of the genre. I hope he gets few action, thriller, mystery genre movies.

Jim Smetana Jun 28 2019 12:21 pm Mr. Song is a first-rate actor. He reminds me a little of Hollywood old-timers like Henry Fonda or Robert Mitchum--guys who get the job done without a lot of actorly tricks. Not surprised he was cast as King Sejong. Mr. Song always "brings it".

Sagar Sonawane Jun 26 2019 2:26 am One of Greatest actor of all time... Love his movies. His acting feels very realistic. May you live long and healthy life. Love from India. ??

Chakita3 Jan 06 2018 8:35 pm Love your work....brilliant actor...thank you so much, FIGHTING! ☺ ☺

Ivy Apr 08 2017 11:59 pm I am a Malaysian and Iove all your movies, Sir! Your acting is just superb!

Carol Maloney Mar 27 2017 9:33 pm Superb ...brilliant...riveting performance in The Attorney. Deserves every award he could receive. I will now look for and watch everything he's ever been in.

Tamsin Parker Sep 13 2016 5:56 am You are amazing. I love you, Kang-ho!

meme Aug 15 2016 4:36 pm you are the best korean actor

Josephine Oey Jul 30 2016 1:51 pm He is there but he's never been there. That's how Mr. Song changed his character everytime he was cast in a movie. A mindless and slow thinker father in "The Host", impatience and rude detective in "Memories of Murder", smart and full of responsibility soldier in "Joint Security Area." Brilliant Actor! Definitely will continue watching all his movies,...

Lee Seo Hwa Jun 23 2016 2:07 pm He deserve to be film in drama series!

mehmet demir Jun 13 2016 5:43 am best Korean actor to me

Jamaica Nov 14 2013 3:52 am He's fantastic in everything I've seen him in, but "Thirst," (wow!), he's astounding in it. That performance, alone, has made me a life-long fan.

daisy Aug 03 2013 10:12 pm This man is Korea's treasure. He really knows how to pick his projects and he's an amazing actor. I can't wait to see him in Snowpiercer.

Steve Aug 02 2013 6:54 am As an American I just recently got into Korean film (after lots of convincing from my movie buff friends.) After seeing Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance I knew there was something special about Song Kang-Ho. Then I saw The Host, then Thirst and most recently The Good The Bad The Weird (which I had more fun watching than anything else in recent memory.) This guy I'd extremely talented. He can make you cry, he can keep you on the edge of your seat and sometimes he can make you roll on the floor laughing! He's just an absolute treasure to watch and I can't wait to see him in Snowpiercer this year!!

gyalbaa Mar 18 2013 4:52 pm they should give him more awards for his amazing works. yeah one of the best of bests

CICI Feb 26 2013 11:26 am Mr. Song Kang-Ho, I just watched "Secret Reunion" and I have to say you were excellent! You brought so much life into the character that you made me laugh and...cry..or..sitting on the edge of my seat. You have become one of my favorite actors to watch. Much success in the future.

katharess May 09 2012 2:16 pm One of the best.
