Won Jin
Der südkoreanische Kampfkunstmeister ist vor allem für seine Rolle als Sonny Wong in „The Scorpion King“ (auch bekannt als „Operation Scorpio“) und seine Actionregie bei der Filmreihe „My Wife Is A Gangster“ bekannt.
Er entwickelte einen einzigartigen Stil, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war und viele Techniken des modernen Tricking vereinte. Er inspirierte auch berühmte Kampfkunstschauspieler wie Scott Adkins und Tony Jaa.
Mit etwa sieben Jahren begann er Taekwondo zu lernen und entwickelte seinen eigenen Stil aus Tritten und Akrobatik. Er war ein großer Fan von Bruce Lee und begeisterte sich für den Nunchaku. Später lernte er Hapkido, Wushu und verschiedene andere Stile.
Ende der 1970er-Jahre trainierte er zusammen mit Elton Jeong im YMCA Mechanical Gymnastics Club und wurde Mitglied der koreanischen Kampfkunst- und Stuntgruppe Ottogi Martial Arts Team. 1979 wirkte er an seinem ersten Film mit. Er hatte Nebenrollen in einigen koreanischen Martial-Arts-Filmen und erhielt 1988 seine erste Hauptrolle.
Anfang der 90er-Jahre verschickte er ein Demoband, woraufhin David Lai ihn für einige Hongkong-Filme besetzte. Der bekannteste Film, „The Scorpion King“, etablierte ihn als Kultfigur. Nach einigen weiteren Filmen kehrte er nach Korea zurück und avancierte dort zu einem der führenden Action-Regisseure. Er praktiziert und fördert weiterhin Kampfkunst und wurde für sein Schaffen vielfach ausgezeichnet.
