A nearly four-decade industry veteran, Chun Ho-jin has appeared in over 30 films and close to a hundred television dramas. Best known for playing beloved TV dads in the highly-rated weekend family dramas My Daughter Seo-young (2012), My Golden Life (2017), and Once Again (2020), he is affectionately known as South Korea’s “National Father.” His father roles not only endeared him to the Korean public, but have earned him multiple acting awards, including the Daesang (Grand Prize) at the 2017 and 2020 KBS Drama Awards.
