In recent years, Ha has risen as arguably one of the most popular actors in Korean cinema. Almost every film he has starred in since 2008 -- from the 2009 sports drama “Take off” to the 2013 spy action flick “The Berlin File” -- have been box office hits. Most recently, he starred in Park Chan-wook’s thriller “The Handmaiden” and Kim Sung-hoon’s disaster flick “The Tunnel” last year. This year, the actor also stars in “1987: When the Day Comes,” director Jang Joon-hwan’s historical drama about the 1987 pro-democracy movement.
