Heo Jun-ho, strong presence proven through hard work in ‘Escape from Mogadishu’ ‘Missing 2’

Actor Heo Jun-ho's heyday is just beginning.
Heo Jun-ho's actions are unusual. In 2021, the movie 'Mogadishu' mobilized 3 million viewers and swept the Best Supporting Actor award at various awards ceremonies. He then won the Best Actor Award for the 2022 SBS drama ‘Why Oh Soo-jae?’ It is no exaggeration to say that his presence is growing stronger as the years go by.

In the first half of 2022, Heo Jun-ho played the role of Choi Tae-guk in 'Why Oh Soo-jae' and showed off his unrivaled acting as a villain. As the only character who can confront and confront Oh Soo-jae (played by Seo Hyun-jin), he led the center of the play and received many favorable reviews. He proved his worth in the Best Acting Award by giving narrative and three-dimensionality to the character beyond simply being a villain.
Heo Jun-ho then returned to tvN's 'Missing: They Were There 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Missing 2') and warmly decorated the second half of 2022. He returned with Season 2 and plays the role of Jang Pan-seok, a man who sees souls. He is playing an active role not only as a father who misses his daughter, but also as a person who comforts souls with a delicious charm. As an actor who coexists good and evil, he is 180 degrees different from 'Why Oh Soo-jae', proving his limitless acting spectrum.

Heo Jun-ho's performance will continue in 2023. He took on a new challenge through the Netflix series 'Hounds of Dogs' and played the role of CEO Choi, a legend in the private loan business, foreshadowing a different side of himself than before. In addition, the movie 'Noryang: The Sea of Death' has completed filming and is about to be released, and the movie 'Possession' (working title) has also confirmed its appearance, so it will continue to serve as a box office guarantee.

Heo Jun-ho breathes life into the character with passionate acting that exceeds expectations in each work. Heo Jun-ho, who is not satisfied with the present and is always thirsty for new challenges and opportunities, is raising expectations for the new heyday he will create in the future.
