Hello all. I finally did it, I finally took a break and finally finished Yakuza 5 (about 6 months later
). But of course, the story of my life is always the same, as the first day of my break I developed some kind of cold/flu so was pretty miserable for a lot of it I think I'm mostly over it now, my neck and upper back are still achy and sometimes I have a coughing fit, but mostly feeling a lot better.I'm still going to be taking it easy and pacing myself a bit, I'm even playing another game called Tunic which has been good fun. But it can be frustrating at times, so to get away from it I do a bit of sorting of my research, including this one which was very nearly ready for a while, just needed that gap to finish it off because it's another big one.
So here we have Jeong Joo-hyeon, one of my very first IDs I made, even before the KMDB had a pic of him (Would've been helpful a few years earlier, lads!)
Firstly, he seemed to show up in just about everything, which turned out to be a bit of a double edged sword because he wasn't credited in a bunch of them so made me question myself sometimes. But what really helped settle things was that I did a deep dive on him because he sometimes looks like Won Jin to me. So when trying to figure out WJ's true filmography, I checked all the cases where it was either WJ or Jeong Joo-hyeon, most of the time it was the latter.
He was certainly one of the busiest guys in the business, showing up in a bunch of films, often as several characters, though he never became a big star, which is a bit of a shame, but at least he's earned his place as a familiar face to fans of the genre, and now those fans have a name for the face. No doubt Gaijin 84'll be happy, as Gaijin already had about 7 portraits of him waiting, I've added tags as requested
He'd also been credited in about 6 films already but had not yet been ID'd:Fury Of Dragon; Lone Shaolin Avenger; Rage Of The Dragon; Martial Monks Of Shaolin Temple; The Divine Martial Arts Of Dharma; Woman's Martial Arts
I actually started his update a while ago, but there was so much (and new additions along the way) that I kept having to take breaks, as working too much on a single person can get a bit tiring. I'd even ID'd him already while working on the Korean cut of Seven Men Of Kung Fu [1978], unfortunately the quality of the footage is so poor, it probably didn't help anyone.
Again, sadly not much info to ad, just his year of birth and a few alias'. Another of those guys that don't seem to get much appreciation, even in their homeland.
