==Biography==
Hwang Jung-Min, born September 1, 1970 in [[South Gyeongsang Province]], South Korea, is a popular & award winning South Korean actor. Since an early age, Jung-Min has been fascinated with movies. During the 3rd grade of middle school Jung-Min decided to pursue acting after watching the musical "Peter Pan." His mother supported his decision and brought him an application for Keywon High School of Arts. Jung-Min was admitted into the high school and began his study of acting in earnest. During this time Jung-Min even started a theatrical company with friends, but after only a few people came out to watch their plays that idea was quickly shelved. For college, Jung-Min attended [[Seoul Institute of the Arts]] as a theater major. After graduation he continued to act on stage in various plays.

In 2001, Jung-Min landed his first acting role in a feature film after sucessfully auditioning for the role of Kang-su in "[[Waikiki Brothers]]." In that film, Jung-Min played a drummer for a fading dancehall/wedding band. He practiced playing the drums for 2 months prior to working on that film and recorded music for the film. The next year, Jung-Min performed in the movie "Road Movie" as a gay, homeless drifter. His performance received the attention of many critics. In 2003, Jung-Min landed his break-out role in the sexually charged "[[A Good Lawyer's Wife]]." Jung-Min played, opposite to [[So-ri Moon]], a lawyer involved in an extra-marital affair and, because of this, causes his wife to look for fulfillment elsewhere. "[[A Good Lawyer's Wife]]" did well at the box-office while also receiving favorable reviews from critics.

Since that time Jung-Min has frequently displayed his level of depth as an actor by performing in a wide range of roles: Mob boss in "[[A Bittersweet Life]]," naive country boy in "[[You Are My Sunshine]]," reckless cop in "[[Bloody Tie]]," weak insurance salesman in "[[Black House]]," and mentally disturbed man in "[[A Man who was Superman]]." More recently, Hwang Jung-Min performed as the first ever Joseon era detective in "[[Private Eye]]" and also starred in his first ever television drama "[[The Accidental Couple]]" along with co-star "[[Kim Ah-Jung]]." With Jung-Min's vast range in acting, he is frequently mentioned alongside [[Song Kang-Ho]] and [[Sul Kyung-Gu]], as one of the best actors working in South Korea.

In 2005, Jung-Min married long time girlfriend Kim Mi-Hye. The couple first met while in high school (Mi-Hye was an actress in musicals) and they have since kept their relationship through several decades. The couple also has one son from their marriage. Jung-Min's hobbies included playing basketball and musical instruments.
