Biography

Popular South Korean actor Ji Chang Wook was born on July 5, 1987 in Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province. Outwardly, he gives the impression of a cold, serious person, but in reality, Chan Wook has a soft and cheerful character.
Chan Wook is the only child in the family. During his school years, he was an ordinary student, quiet and calm. When he was in 5th grade primary school, his father died. Therefore, Chan Wook grew up under the tutelage and care of his mother. In the 3rd year of study at high school he began to think about how happy he was and what he really wanted to do in life. At that time, Chan Wook became interested in acting. His mother was categorically against his son’s choice, but despite this, Chan Wook for the first time went against his mother’s word and entered Dankook University to major in Theater and Cinema.
Chan Wook started his career as an actor musical theater. In 2007, Chan Wook performed on the theater stage in the musical Fire and Ice. In 2008, he received a role in the TV series You Stole My Heart, and also made his official debut as an actor in the film Sleeping Beauty.
Even though Chang Wook worked hard, he has not achieved popularity in the 3 years since his debut. All this time he was worried that he would not be able to become a good, sought-after actor and many times thought about leaving the acting profession because he believed that he was not talented enough. Such thoughts took hold of Chan Wook's heart so much that he cried alone on several occasions. But each time, after a surge of despair, he again pulled himself together and continued his difficult path.
In 2009, Chan Wook received a role in the multi-episode series “My Too Perfect Sons,” which overnight turned his life 180 degrees. In the series, Chan Wook played the role of the youngest of 4 sons - Song Mi Poong. His mother is sure that all her sons are endowed with beautiful appearance and all best qualities, which only a man can have, so they will be an excellent match for any girl. However, not everyone shares her opinion: neighbors and acquaintances believe that the Song brothers are not so perfect, and that is why they are still single. Who is right and whether the mother's long-awaited weddings of her sons will take place - these questions were asked by more than 40% of viewers over the course of 54 episodes. "My Too Perfect Sons" was held with incredible success, which made both the series itself and the actors who starred in it mega-famous. In the same year, Chan Wook starred in the TV series "Hero", main role which was performed by popular actor Lee Joon Gi.
In 2010, Chan Wook returned to big screen in the horror film "Deadly Call" and starred in the lead role in the sitcom "Smile, Dong Hae."

However, everything is not going as smoothly as he expected. Disappointments, downs and ups, family secrets And new love- this is what Dong-hae expects when he arrives home. Especially for this role, in order to convey the image of his hero as realistically as possible, Chan Wook spent several hours a day on the ice, learning speed skating.

For 13 weeks in a row, “Warrior Baek Dong Soo” topped the list of the most popular drama series broadcast.

The second project of 2011 was the series "Bachelor's Vegetable Shop", which was based on real story.

Besides acting, fans of Chan Wook in both dramas could enjoy his OST performances: “Meet Again” (in “Warrior Baek Dong Soo”), “Your Warmth” and “Oh Sing Sing Men” (in “Bachelor’s Vegetable Store”, the latter co-recorded with Lee Kwang Soo, Kim Young Kwang, Shin Won Ho, Sung Je and Ji Hyuk).
