Maryam Feb 06 2021 9:35 pm I went absolutely crazy for his role in bad guys 2, I loved his acting so much!!

Victor Palmer Jan 28 2021 3:31 am I watched Breathless and I really enjoyed it.

momo Dec 16 2018 2:36 pm whenever i hear shibal i remember this guy. such a great actor. thank you for showering us with countless shibals in a single movie. kidding aside, he is probably the best actor i've seen.

KIM SKY Mar 09 2018 10:30 pm Mr Ik June is a total scene stealer. A formidable actor with finesse when it comes to body acting. Apart from Song Kang Ho, he is the best korean actor I seen. It took just my first encounter with him in The Innocent man for me to buy what he is selling.

Marsha Becker May 04 2017 7:39 pm Yang Ik-June has such powerful stage presence. He generates so much energy without even using body work. Powerful facial emotion. He just nails the mood totally. So attractive. I had to search all over to find his name but found his work so amazing I spent 40 minutes looking until I finally found it. Mr. Yang, I love your work!

Ozmo May 01 2017 9:20 pm Love this guy's acting, everything he does is brilliant. Also, he reminds me so much of FTI Honggi :)

venus Nov 02 2016 7:22 am Okada Masaki is a fan of this guy. And now I know why he looks familiar. He's In-sung's brother from It's Okay :D

Dewantarie Jul 27 2015 4:50 am His acting in IOTL was so....so.... superb ... that's what we call the real great actor....

Sharon Jul 09 2015 12:22 am As mentioned by others, very very underrated! All of his appearances in the dramas I've watched have been memorable, and he really is a scene-stealer. I wish people would give him more credit than always being the 'bad guy.' Hoping to see him more in the future :)

ahgase Jan 13 2015 3:04 am am i the only one who thinks that he looks like kim junho? (a comedian from gag concert, 1 night 2 days, etc). i was even thought that yang ik jun and kim junho is the same person LOL.

CSWT Nov 18 2014 9:32 am This man here, is a very talented yet very underrated actor. I have not watched any of his movies yet but I remembered him as the bad brother of the female antagonist in Nice Guy and the brother of the male lead in Its Okay its love and I was blown away of his scene stealing ability. Hope he gets more love from audiences in the future. Meanwhile,it seems Breathless got some acclaim so I guess I will check it out.

Kenji Sep 01 2014 1:10 am Wo! I just finished watching Breathless and I am left breathless what a piece of art. I want to see more from this actor/director. He is a true talent.

CW Aug 22 2014 9:24 am I think a better picture is in order, is he not an accomplished actor? Look at his credits. He is doing great in the drama , "It's Ok, This is Love." I hope to see more of him also. Good work! :)

khaye Aug 06 2014 5:53 am As I browsed here in asianwiki, I saw his profile from "It's Okay, It's Love". I think his performance there as Jang Jaebeom is really great.I wonder why I haven't seen him in other k-drama and movies. Probably because his genre is a bit different, I think it's more on action or mystery. I hope to see him on more dramas and movies too..
