Biography
He wasn't in an awful lot of movies, but for those that he did play in, he always seems to make his presence known. In everyone's favorite his Cult-classic Godfathers From Hong Kong, he was most impressive. Kicking techniques were excellent, as he followed in the footsteps of another Korean kicking-machine, Whang In-Sik. His display of flying-kicks are so smooth, you could see why he became a star in demand, after this film.
He came in the movie business, around the time other Koreans were taking American audiences by storm (which was during the early 70's). His other film - The Rats, is even more obscure than his first one. It was a Modern movie, that starred some of Kung Fu's top-notched villains. He stood out because he was such an accomplished martial-artist, before he got into the business. No doubt, his fans tripled after he hit the big screen. An 8th-degree Blackbelt in Hapkido, he was (also) taught Hapkido by master Chi Han-Jae, who starred in Game Of Death and Bruce Lee & I.
