Han Joo-wan

Han Joo-wan is a private person and has not shared any information about his romantic involvements yet. However, he is rumored to be close to one of his co-stars, Lee Yoon-ji, and this has fueled his fans’ imagination for quite some time, in spite of the fact that there has been no confirmation regarding the rumored affair.

Han Joo-wan was born on January 10, 1984, in Seoul, South Korea. Since his childhood, he wished to be one of the shining stars of the South Korean entertainment industry. However, what really made him different from other aspirants was the fact that he was more interested in acting than becoming famous and earning a lot of money.

He started acting while he was in school. His decision to join theater turned out to be a life-changing experience for him. He started leaning quickly, and by the time he was out of high school, he was already a pretty competent actor.

Apart from acting, he loved singing and playing sports during his free time. He paid great attention to what he ate and was physically fit.

He enrolled at the ‘Seoul Institute of the Arts’ and received a bachelor’s degree in theater.

He did not stop doing theater after graduation. Sometime in his mid-20s, he started approaching new and young filmmakers for collaborations and became part of a few award-winning short films.

His auditions fetched him a role in the short film ‘A Young Stallman’ in 2009. Hans followed it up with ‘Broken Night’ and ‘Suddenly, Last Summer.’ However, one short film in particular, titled ‘Exit,’ which was featured at the ‘Jeonju International Film Festival’ received immense appreciation.

His small, independent acting stints helped him improve his acting skills. Before venturing into mainstream projects, he decided to take the path less travelled and accepted only those roles that appealed to him.

In 2013, ‘Wang’s Family’ turned out to be a big breakthrough and put him on the map instantly. Han played ‘Choi Sang-nam,’ an intelligent high school drop-out. His next venture was the ‘Drama Special’ episode ‘Yeonu’s Summer,’ released in the same year.

Han received immense appreciation for both the roles and won the ‘KBS Drama Award’ for the ‘Best New Actor.’ Thus, Han was off to a dreamy start in the industry.

He made his film debut in 2013, with the film ‘Hwayi: A Monster Boy,’ a successful action thriller. Han played the role of one of the key comrades of the former chairman, which was a small role. Han also appeared in the segment ‘Exit’ of the short-film collection ‘Shorts Meets Shorts.’
