The reason why “this actor” chose his ID photo in a drama for his Cannes Film Festival entrance card

Cho Jin Woong’s visit to the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 with “Handmaiden” was a hot topic online.

Actor Cho Jin Woong was on the Cannes red carpet, a meaningful honor for many actors, in 2016 with Park Chan wook’s film “Handmaiden.” Cho Jin Woong at Cannes at the time was a hot topic for fans. Why? It was because of his ID card photo on the entrance pass around his neck.

The photo he chose was an official ID photo of detective Lee Jae Han in the much-loved drama “Signal.” Why did he choose this awkward photo and not any other good profile picture?

When asked by reporters why he chose this photo, Cho Jin Woong said he chose it himself because he liked it. He in the photo looked like a person who was not an actor, but he think it was a perfect photo choice.

Cho Jin Woong started as a theater actor and spent a long time in obscurity. The 185cm-tall Cho Jin Woong is now loved for his outstanding acting, which does not have any character boundary. He goes from an honest but charismatic character, a villain to a sly, comical character.

Thanks to the public’s great love, Cho has been working without a break. In 2023, he will meet the public one after another with works such as “Deadman,” and “Believer 2.”
