Shin Ha-kyun is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Shin Ha-kyun (Thirst, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Joint Security Area, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Shin, a cultural icon

Born Shin Ha-kyun in Seoul on May 30, 1974, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Korean history. Shin'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-kyun hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Shin Ha-kyun as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

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