Famous right from the first works

Jung Il Woo was born in 1987, is a South Korean actor, model and singer.

However, Jung Il Woo soon realized his love for acting, so he quickly turned to the Department of Theater and Film at Hanyang University.

In 2006, Jung Il Woo had his first role in the drama The World of Silence. In the movie, he plays a calm, peaceful, thoughtful guy, although he acts well, but because he appears few and has not many lines, he does not make much impression on the audience. Fortunately, in the same year, Jung Il Woo had the opportunity to appear in the hit sitcom Family Is Number 1, receiving the main role next to a series of veteran actors. After this movie, Jung Il Woo immediately became famous and had the opportunity to receive more TV series and movies.

With his eye-catchin.g appearance and outstanding height, Jung Il Woo continuously takes the lead role in a series of film projects from popular producers. However, his career is not too prominent compared to other actors of his ag.e when his name is mainly known in the country.

Fight with the god of deat.h to revive your career

2006 must be the most memorable milestone in Jung Il Woo's life when, in addition to his famous debut film, he also had to confront the god of deat.h. Specifically this year, he had a very serious car acciden.t, thinking that his career would en.d when he just started. The actor had to be treated for 7 months, broken wrist bones, broken pelvis, bleedin.g in the hea.d and mild memory loss. From this injury, it later left a heavy legacy with Jung Il Woo. This is the reason why Jung Il Woo has been missing for a long time, unable to take advantage of the charm of Family Is Number 1 to develop himself.

It was not until the en.d of 2007 that Jung Il Woo returned to the small screen. He participated in many projects such as Plum Sword, 49 Days, Golden Rainbow, Night Watchman, Cinderella and 4 Knights, Haechi Era... but not all films achieved success. as expected. The actor's career also fluctuated wildly. Up to now, Jung Il Woo's most impressive role for me is still Lee Yoon Ho of Family Is Number 1.

It was thought that after one time, Jung Il Woo would return to his acting career smoothly, who expected the sequelae from this acciden.t to cause him to suffer from a very serious brain aneurysm in 2016. In fact, before that. For 3 years, he had frequent signs of headaches, then his pulse gradually weakened and enlarged, causing internal organs to be pinched.

According to Jung Il Woo's agency, it was the injury from this acciden.t that seriously affected the actor's health condition. The company released the following official announcement: "In 2006, after a car acciden.t, Jung Il Woo was diagnosed with a concussion, brain hemorrhage, and regional amnesia.

This disease makes the Jung handsome man prone to coma, capable of having a stroke at any time and the most dangerous complication can affect the cerebral arteries and cause deat.h. When he discovered his illness, Jung Il Woo was extremely depressed and it took a long time to regain his spirit and fight the disease. Suffering from this disease at the time he was about to enlist in the army, although he was exempted from the service, Jung Il Woo still decided to carry out his responsibilities as a citizen.

At that time, despite being ill, Jung Il Woo still decided to join the military service. Jung Il Woo's representative revealed that the actor's additional examination for an aneurysm could be the basis for him to be exempted from military service. However, it was Jung Il Woo who decided to do his duty, "Although Jung Il Woo regrets not being able to enlist as an ordinary soldier and not being able to properly greet his fans, , but he will still do his best to perform his community service."

Having this disease made it difficult for work to return to the army, so he was forced to be absent for 2 years, causing Jung Il Woo's reputation to decline a lot. At the en.d of 2018, he was discharged from the army and immediately returned to work, trying to revive his career.

In 2021, the handsome Jung family is interested again thanks to the historical drama Bossam: Steal the Fate. In the near future, he will return with the movie Good Job, once again reuniting with the cult female idol Yuri, who together with him made the success of Bossam: Steal the Fate.
