Career

Jung Jun-ho started his acting career at 1995. He never thought of entering the entertainment industry and becoming an actor. He admitted that when he was a kid, he was shy and would cry when his teacher placed him in front of the class to sing. After enlisting in the military, he often hosted events. He began to realize his talent - acting. He joined MBC station training class at 1995. Although he worked with many famous stars like Lee Young-ae during the first few years of his acting career, the movies and series he made in the first few years did not lend him much limelight; he remained in obscurity. Feeling discouraged, he had thoughts of retiring from the entertainment industry. After all, he considered himself as an introvert. His personality might not be suitable as an actor.

In 2000, he landed a role in television series, Women Like You (왕추). The series propelled him to stardom. At the same year, he was cast in My Boss, My Hero. To his surprise, the movie not only received high box office record but also solidified his star power. Due to his success with his comedic role in My Boss, My Hero, he was cast in many more comedic roles in series and movies between 2002 and 2006. All of them were pretty successful. His comedic image was deeply engraved in fans' mind. However, he felt typecast and hoped for a change of image and a breakthrough in his career. He questioned himself which career route he wished to head down and which new image he wanted to develop.

In 2005, a director suggested him to play a villain in Another Public Enemy. His performance stunned his fans and the media. They never knew that Jung Jun-ho could play a villainous side. The positive remarks he received from his fans and media boosted his confidence in his acting. In 2008 and 2009, he gave outstanding performances in Last Scandal and IRIS. He hopes to take on more exotic roles in his upcoming series and movies that will give audiences a fresh feeling every time they see him onscreen.[1][5]

Personal life

Jung Jun-ho has an older sister and two younger brothers.

He is close friends with actor Shin Hyun-joon. He noted that they would often refer to each other as brothers or even consider each other as family. He was first acquainted with Shin in the 2000 movie, The Siren. Since then, they have become very good friends. Sometimes, they would discuss movie or drama series scripts with each other before deciding on whether to accept the offer to film the movie or series. In 2010, they reunited after their last collaboration 10 years ago, to film a comedic cop movie similar to the American movie, Rush Hour, titled Mr. George and Bongsik.[6]

Besides Shin Hyun-joon, he is also good friends with many actors and actresses like Jang Dong-gun, Ahn Jae-wook, Kim Jung-eun, Choi Jin-sil and Jung Woong-in. At the 2008 MBC Drama Award Ceremony, he went up on behalf of Choi Jin-sil to claim her award and brought it back to Choi Jin-sil when he paid tribute to her.[7][8] Jung Jun-ho was also the host at Jung Woong-in's wedding.[9]

On March 25, 2011, he married MBC announcer Lee Ha-jung. They met in November 2010 when she interviewed him on the set of his drama Queen of Reversals.[10] They have 2 children: son Si-wook (born 2014) and daughter (born 2019). [11][12]
