The fresh-faced HONG Kyung-in, who graduated from the Dongguk University’s School of Acting, debuted on screen at the tender age of 16 in the early 1990s Korean classic Our Twisted Hero (1992). While still a teenager he went on to appear in some of the most important films of the mid-1990s, such as The Eternal Empire (1995) and A Single Spark (1995). It was around this time that he began to appear in TV dramas as well. He has remained consistent on screen, taking co-starring roles in films for 20 years, such as 2001’s hit gangster comedy Hi! Dharma. After a few years absent from cinemas, HONG returned to the big screen in 2013 with a part in the hit spy drama Secretly Greatly and then starred alongside KIM In-gwon in the issue-raising North Korea-set drama Apostle in 2014.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
