JANG looks as innocent as a little boy and as beautiful as a woman. His face is distinctive for its feminine and childlike characteristics. But his looks can be deceptive. He has often played tough and strong characters. The movie that brought him fame as an actor was <The Happy Life>. He portrayed a tough but warm-hearted young musician who started a rock band with his late father’s friends. He rose to stardom after starring as a rebellious music prodigy in the TV drama <Beethoven Virus> and further with his role in <Where the Truth Lies> based on a real-life homicide, which renewed attention over an old case. He starred as Arthur PATTERSON, a prime suspect in the movie that investigated a mysterious murder which occurred in Itaewon, Seoul’s multicultural district. As opposed to his movie persona, JANG plays sweet and lovey-dovey characters in TV dramas. In the Japanese manga-based film <You’re My Pet>, he played an attractive young man who will do anything for an older career woman, to titillate the fantasies of female spectators.
