Over the following decades, he anchored a range of genres: the crime epic City of the Rising Sun (1999), the historical action film Musa (2001), the romantic drama A Moment to Remember (2004), and the revisionist western The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008). Later roles included the thriller Cold Eyes (2013), the martial-arts film The Divine Move (2014), the crime saga Asura: The City of Madness (2016), and two political thrillers, The King and Steel Rain, both released in 2017. In 2019, he starred in Innocent Witness, earning Best Actor honours at both the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 40th Blue Dragon Film Awards. His filmography continued with Beasts Clawing at Straws (2020), the espionage thriller Hunt (2022), and the historical drama 12.12: The Day (2023).
