Park Shin-yang

He's got a smile that melts women's hearts - actor Park Sin-yang!
He has returned to us as a knight in shining armor in the hit TV drama "Lover in Paris"!
It's time to meet the actor, Park Sin-yang!

If Hollywood's got "Pretty Woman" 's Richard Gere, Korea has "Lover in Paris" 's Park Sin-yang!
He falls in love with a poor student, played by Kim Jung-eun, whereas he's the president of a car company in Paris and the son of a wealthy tycoon.
His character, Han Gi-joo, doesn't know the meaning of poverty or hardship.

Park Sin-yang debuted in 1995 with the movie "YooRee". His impassioned performance as a monk got him the 'Newcomer Award'.
His true talent was revealed with his role as a young man with a fatal disease in "The Letter".
In another movie "A Promise", Park Sin-yang's portrayal of a tough mobster with a hidden heart of gold, showed us yet another dimension of his talent.

Park Sin-yang's also acted on the small screen.
His TV debut started with "Scent of Apple Blossoms" as an unexperienced young reporter, whose naivete was his charm.
Until now, he always played these sweet, tender-hearted characters.
With his looks, these are the roles that seem to suit him best.
But in the year 2000, Park's characters changed! In the movie "Kilimanjaro", he plays two roles, a gangster and a dirty cop. Then in "Indian Summer", he plays an egotistic lawyer.
Park's transformation from gentle characters to cold-hearted ones were maybe too much for his fans. These movies weren't very successful.

As his popularity grew, Park had a great number of women admirers. But in October 2002, he decided to settle down with one special woman.
Now, he's already in his 30's, blessed with a family. At this point in his life, is he supposed to know the true meaning of love?

Even though Park Sin-yang was unsuccessful in roles that weren't sweet and kind-hearted, he was still trying to test the limits of his acting ability.
He chose the horror movie "The Uninvited", where Park's character begins seeing uninvited guests at the table - ghosts.
And in "Redirection of Crime", he takes on two roles, a smooth-talking swindler and a quiet owner of a bookstore.
He pulls off these completely opposite characters with a flourish.
Now he's back on the small screen with the smashing hit TV drama, "Lover in Paris" and is walking on clouds - who could blame him with ratings that are over 40 percent?!

An actor that refuses to take any shortcuts to success. Instead he always tries his best and takes one step at a time. This perseverance is what many admire most about actor Park Sin-yang.
