Biography
Bae Yong-joon is a South Korean businessman and former actor. Born August 29, 1972, he anchored one of the most consequential television dramas of the 2000s: Winter Sonata (2002), which became a major part of the Korean Wave and introduced Korean television to audiences worldwide. He starred in numerous television dramas throughout his acting career before retiring from performance after 2007. Today he remains active as chairman of management agency KeyEast. Virgo (born late August) often channels analytical precision into leadership roles — Bae's shift from on-screen work to executive stewardship reflects that archetype. As an actor, he performed in television dramas, building fan bases and on-screen narratives across decades. His South Korean citizenship and the scale of Winter Sonata's global reach positioned him as a key figure in the international expansion of Korean entertainment.
