About
Park Hae-il went from theater to one of South Korea's most decorated film actors, anchoring everything from monster-horror to political thrillers. Born 1977 in South Korea, he broke through in 2003 with Scent of Love and Memories of Murder, then carried films like The Host (2006) and Hansan: Rising Dragon (2022). His dual Best Actor wins for War of the Arrows and Decision to Leave cemented him as a prestige-tier lead. As an Aquarius, Park balances intense, layered character work with an almost detached cool.

Biography
Park Hae-il anchored some of South Korea's most significant films across two decades, moving from stage to screen with the kind of sustained excellence that reads like an acting masterclass. Born 26 January 1977 in South Korea, he started in theater before 2003's Scent of Love and Memories of Murder signaled his arrival to film. He then led a roster of notable projects: Rules of Dating (2005), The Host (2006), Moss (2010), Eungyo (2012), Whistle Blower (2014), The Last Princess (2016), The Fortress (2017), and Hansan: Rising Dragon (2022). War of the Arrows (2011) and Decision to Leave (2022) brought him multiple Best Actor trophies, including Blue Dragon Film Awards and Grand Bell Awards. As an actor, Park specializes in intense, psychologically complex roles that demand both restraint and depth. His work reflects the range of contemporary South Korean cinema, from genre spectacle to intimate character studies. Born under Aquarius, Park embodies the sign's analytical precision—approaching each role as an intellectual puzzle before inhabiting it. His Life Path Number 33 (the Master Teacher) suggests an artist whose performances instruct audiences in human complexity.
