Hoe-seok Jeong

Hoe-seok Jeong’s name pops up more and more if you’re even half-plugged into recent Korean dramas and movies. He’s not exactly a household name (yet), but the guy’s been quietly racking up some pretty solid credits—think Mouse (2021), My Happy End (2023), and A Normal Family (2023). Not really the type to hog the spotlight, but every time he shows up on screen, there’s this vibe—like he’s not just playing a role, he’s actually living it. Let’s talk Mouse. This wasn’t your standard crime thriller. It was dark, twisty, and a little bit wild, and honestly, Jeong fit right in. He brought this raw edge—made you question what you thought you knew about his character. You’d think you’ve got him pinned and then, bam, he flips the script. Seriously, it’s the kind of performance that sticks with you after the credits roll. Then there’s My Happy End. Totally different energy. Instead of all the gritty suspense, you get something way more introspective. Jeong manages to show a softer, messier side, digging into the emotional messes that come with, well, just being human. He’s subtle, but it hits hard. No melodrama, just a kind of honesty that’s rare. And A Normal Family? That one’s got its own flavor—family drama with some real bite. Jeong slides into the ensemble like he’s always been part of it, bringing depth without making it about him. Each project he picks up, he adds another layer, making you wonder what he’ll pull off next.
