Park Byung‑eun (박병은), born July 14, 1977 in Seoul, is a seasoned South Korean actor with a dynamic career spanning over two decades. A drama major at Chung‑Ang University, he debuted in 2000 with a minor role in Mr. Duke and appeared in early films like Sex Is Zero and Princess Aurora . His breakout came in 2008’s The Pit and the Pendulum Pit, followed by a notable turn as a Japanese lieutenant in the acclaimed 2015 film Assassination, which led to his first major agency signing. Park steadily rose through versatile supporting roles in hits like One Line (2017), the historical epic The Great Battle (2018), and the Netflix zombie thriller Kingdom (2020), including its special Ashin of the North . In 2022, he delivered a powerful performance as LY Group’s conflicted CEO Kang Yoon‑kyum in the revenge drama Eve, earning critical praise and solidifying his status as a leading man. Park’s later roles showcase his breadth: he played a dedicated pediatrician in Oh My Baby (2020), took part in Disney+’s crime-medical series HyperKnife (2025), and stars in Netflix’s Dear Hongrang (2025) as Sim Yeol‑guk . He also earned a Best Male Performance award in 2025 for his work in Citizen Deok‑hee. Known for his quiet charisma and deep emotional range, Park often portrays morally complex characters—whether a conflicted CEO, a stoic zombie-fighter, or a compassionate doctor. Off-screen, he’s admired for his thoughtful approach and privacy; he’s described as the “fishing king” for his love of angling, and he brings that same calm precision to his craft.
