A graduate of Sports Industry Studies at Hongik University, JO Han-sun made his debut as an actor at the age of 20 in 2001, starring in a beer commercial. He became a TV actor a year later, when he appeared in <Nonstop 3>, and quickly became a household name, appearing as one of the leads of <April Kiss> alongside Su Ae in 2004. This was the same year he made the switch to feature films, starring alongside GANG Dong-won and LEE Chung-ah in the youth drama <Romance of Their Own>, which earned him nominations for Best New Actor from the 3rd Korean Film Awards and the 42nd Grand Bell Awards. JO next appeared in the romantic drama <Now and Forever> in 2006, and later that year featured opposite SUL Kyung-gu in the gangster drama <Cruel Winter Blues>, for which he won much acclaim and the Best Supporting Actor prize from the 15th Chunsa Film Art Awards. He was also nominated at the Blue Dragon and Korean Film Awards. Among his next roles was the buddy cop film <My New Partner> and romantic comedy <Lost and Found> in 2008, the sequel to anarchist youth film <Attack the Gas Station> (2010) and the 2010 remake of John WOO’s <A Better Tomorrow>. Following a three year break, JO once again became active on both the big and small screen, taking part in smaller scale films such as the island thriller <Deep Trap> and the suspense thriller <Malice>, which screened at the Bucheon International Film Festival in 2015.
