Shin Hyun-jun (Class of ’87, Dept. of Physical Education) is one of Korea’s most beloved movie stars, famous for his roles in Stairway to Heaven, Barefoot Ki-bong and General’s Son. In an interview with The Yonsei Annals, Shin shared with us his story of how he became one of the most well-known actors in Korea. . Annals: You originally applied to Yonsei’s Dept. of Physical Education but later received your master’s degree from the Graduate School of Journalism & Mass Comm. What prompted the change? Were you considering a career in acting at the time? Shin: I always loved watching movies when I was younger. I wanted to major in the Department of Theatre and Film but my parents disagreed and persuaded me to major in physical education. My father told me I would be better off studying sports or business since people started to take interest in leisure sport activities back then. I was also the only son in the family so I didn’t really have a choice but to follow my parent’s desires. In the end, I applied for the Department of Physical Education at Yonsei and decided to pursue my dreams of acting later. But when I was a sophomore, I had the opportunity to audition for a movie called General’s Son and luckily got the part. My dreams of becoming an actor worked out faster than I had expected and while I did have some conflicts with my parents, they eventually came around and are now my biggest supporters. As for graduate school, I thought it would be interesting to learn about media and producing videos since I was already starring in movies and producing my own movies as well. . #yonsei」6月18日 8時59分
