Actor: Lee Byung-hun

Lee Byung-hun is among the biggest stars in Korea and one of the few to establish a parallel Hollywood career, in the G I Joe films, Terminator Genisys and The Magnificent Seven.

The Korean work is where the acting is: A Bittersweet Life, I Saw the Devil and Inside Men, the last of which won him the country’s major acting awards.

Squid Game gave him the Front Man and an enormous new audience, and he has moved between the two markets without letting either dominate.
