Sul attended Mapo Elementary School [ko] and then enrolled in Mapo Middle School [ko] and Mapo High School [ko].[2]

Career

edit

1993–1997: Early career

edit

Sul studied Theater and Film at Hanyang University (Class of '86). In May 1993, When Sul was in his 4th year of college, he directed play for the 1st Young Theatre Festival The Moon, Moon, The Bright Moon [ko]. At that time, Sul planned to enter The 3rd KBS Talent Recruitment, but he had no choice but to give up the recruitment due to his professor's request.[4] He was also active in Dongsung-dong since the second semester of his senior year, including guest directing play Bison, a performance for the drama class at Deoksung Women's University [ko], as a part-time job.[4] Gradually, he naturally gave up his dream of becoming a film director, and debuted in 1993 with the play Simbasame as Sul joined Hanyang Theater Company, a theater company with alumni of the Department of Theater and Film at Hanyang University as majority of its members.[4]

When Sul was in his 4th year of college, Sul received a full scholarship with straight A credits and went up to the department at once. Before graduating from Hanyang University, he received invitations from his advisor to study master at Hanyang University graduate school or Korea National University of Arts, but he refused.[4] Sul continued his theatre activities in Hanyang Theater Company, however Sul didn't want to be under the shadow of his school. After graduating, Sul left the company.[5]

In May 1994, Sul asked a college senior who was the head of the planning department at the theater company Hakjeon [ko]. At for a part-time job. He met Kim Min-ki and was cast in hit Korean adaptation of the German rock musical Subway Line 1 [ko]. Sul participated in this work from the premiere in 1994 to 1996, playing all but two of the 80 roles, accumulating various experiences and acting skills and earned big success.[6] In addition, he has been active as a theater actor and musical actor in Daehakro, appearing in plays such as Korean productions of Sam Shepard's True West and musical Mosquito (Musical) [ko].[1]

Since 1988, Sul began taking on minor roles in television. In the play, he was a star-actor who played 14 roles, but in television dramas, he was just an aspiring actor.[7] In the mid-1990s, Sul began taking on minor roles in feature films. In 1996, Sul made his screen debut in his first film A Petal, playing the role of Woo-ri, a college student who is chasing the whereabouts of the female lead girl (Lee Jung-hyun) at the recommendation of director Shim Kwang-jin, a college classmate who was taking directing lessons from director Jang Seon-woo.

1998–2002: Career Breakthrough

edit

In 1997, Sul met Cha Seung-jae, the CEO of Sidus FNH, the producer of the film Girls' Night Out, which released in 1998. Sul had minor role and his name was post in credit as a film actor.[8][9] Sul played a cartoonist who spends a night with Yeon (Jin Hee-kyung), a hotel employee in the play, and his acting was short but impressive. He then signed management contracts with Sidus HQ and made his breakthrough, with major roles in Rainbow Trout, Phantom: The Submarine, and The Bird That Stops in the Air (1999).[10]

In early 1999, Sul was selected for the lead role through an audition in director Lee Chang-dong's film Peppermint Candy. Initially, Sul failed at the first audition, but the director's wife, known as the playwright of the play Confession, saw him in the audition film she saw in the living room by chance, and recommended him, saying, "Here's Kim Young-ho" he is famous.[11]

In addition, director Lee Chang-dong revealed the reason for casting Sul Kyung-gu as follows.

Unlike other actors, I rather liked that he hesitated and said that he had no confidence. He looked weak in charisma with an ordinary mask, but his face was different every time I saw him, and that seemed to enable him to express various colors as well as good and evil, so he was cast.[12]

In film Peppermint Candy, Sul played Kim Yeong-ho, a suicidal man devastated by the two-decades of historical change his country undergoes.[13] After shooting for six months from mid-May to the end of September, the film debuted on October 14 of that year as the opening film at the 4th Busan International Film Festival. The film was acclaimed and Sul received rave reviews. He swept 10 New Actor Awards and Best Actor Awards at the Korean Film Critics Association Award, Chunsa Film Art Awards, Blue Dragon Film Awards, Daejong Awards, and Baeksang Arts Awards.

In 2002, Sul starred in three major films. As a violent and unscrupulous police detective in Public Enemy, he won Best Actor at the Grand Bell Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards respectively. In August, he starred in Lee Chang-dong's acclaimed third film Oasis, which won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival. Sul's portrayal of mildly mentally disabled outcast with sociopathic inclinations won him Best Actor at the Chunsa Film Art Awards, Korean Association of Film Critics Awards, Korean Film Awards, Director's Cut Awards, and 29th Seattle International Film Festival. In November, he acted together with Cha Seung-won in a box office hit Jail Breakers by director Kim Sang-jin.[14]
