Biography
Park Ji-hwan is a South Korean actor born September 5, 1980, who traded fashion school aspirations for acting after attending the Korean Academy of Film Arts. He debuted on screen in Yellow Hair (1999) and secured his feature-film foothold in The City of Violence (2006), a brutal crime drama that became a calling card for his unshowy, grounded style. Over the following years, Park built a steady practice in supporting and ensemble roles across Korean cinema and television, appearing in The Outlaws (2017), Untouchable (2017)—both high-octane crime thrillers—and the noir-tinged Black Dog (2019). His breakthrough into leading-man territory came with Our Blues (2022), a prestige ensemble drama where he played a conflicted single father, marking a visible shift toward more central, emotionally complex parts. As an actor, Park works across film and television genres, bringing precision and restraint to morally ambiguous characters. Born under Virgo, he embodies the sign's analytical precision and emotional reserve. His Life Path number is 5, suggesting adaptability—a trait evident in his pivot from fashion to acting and his gradual ascent from minor to major roles.
