Happy birthday to Song Kang-ho, South Korea's cinematic gem who effortlessly switched from gangster swagger as Jo-pil in "No. 3," guarded pride guarding borders as Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil of "Joint Security Area," and puzzled persistence as Detective Park Doo-man in the timeless thriller "Memories of Murder." Your characters are unforgettable—charming us with every emotion (and interrogation room karaoke session)!May your day be filled with more applause than Kang In-goo ever dreamed in "The Show Must Go On," fewer mysterious trails to chase, and endless ovations honoring your irreplaceable craft. Here's hoping you celebrate today better than Detective Park solves crime!
