Happy birthday! Kang Ha-neul turns 36 today

Kang Ha-neul is celebrating his 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-singer Kang Ha-neul (Squid Game, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kang, a cultural icon

Born Kim Ha-neul in Busan on February 21, 1990, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Korean history. Kang's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ha-neul hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kang Ha-neul as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 36.

Happy Birthday, Ha-neul, you're the best!
