## Early life

Jung Woong-in was born on January 20, 1970, in Jecheon-eup, Jecheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province as the eldest of two sons. Jung completed his primary education at Seoul Gongneung Elementary School in 1983 and later graduated from Wongok Middle School in 1986. He then attended Yangmyeong High School, where he accidentally discovered his passion for acting while attending a theater class. After graduating in 1989, he pursued his studies in Theater and completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at Seoul Institute of the Arts in 1994.
Jung was also known as a strict senior who enforced discipline on new juniors. He worked on the theater stage for a long time but decided to pursue a career in broadcasting due to difficult family circumstances. He entered the film industry with "Rehearsal" and made his official debut in 1996 with the drama "Thousand and One Nights".

## Career

Since his debut, Jung Woong-in has played minor roles in several works before gaining attention for his role as loyal gangster Chun-sik in "Eunsil" in 1998, which recorded a high audience rating of 38.5%. He also received recognition for his performance in "Kook-hee" in 1999, which recorded a high audience rating of 53.1%, and won the Rookie of the Year award for his role as capitalist Kim Sang-hoon.
In 2000, Jung Woong-in gained popularity as a comical character in the MBC adult sitcom "Three Friends" alongside Yoon Da-hoon and Park Sang-myeon, which recorded a high viewership rating of 30%.
He continued to build his filmography with various genres, including historical dramas and modern plays, such as "Foul King" (2000), "Dust Master" (2001), "Don’t Tell Papa" (2004), "Death Master," "Wizards" (2006), "Unfortunate The City" (2009), "Hong Guk-young" (2001), "Cheersy Women" (2005), "The Last Scandal in My Life" (2007), "Queen Seondeok" (2008), "Coffee House" (2010), and "Ojakgyo Family" (2011).
In 2007, Jung appeared in family weekend drama Last Scandal. In 2008 he acted as Lady Mishil's brother Misaeng in historical drama Queen Seondeok.
In 2011, Jung starred in family drama Ojakgyo Family as Hwang Tae-shik, the oldest son of the family. He won best supporting actor award in KBS Drama Awards for the role.
In 2013, Jung starred in Fists of Legend.
Jung played villain character Min Joon-gook in SBS drama I Can Hear Your Voice. His character is extremely popular. He became known for his lines such as "I will kill you if you talk" and "I will kill the person who listens to you," which were parodied on the Internet and entertainment shows, and established himself as a representative buzzword that reminds people of him.
   "Director Jo Soo-won, who directed I Can Hear Your Voice, said that the first movie he saw after directing Cheongdam-dong Alice was Fists of Legend. They said they cast me after seeing me in that movie. However, the reason the director had no choice but to think was because the viewers formed a consensus when I played the villain. After thinking about it, the director made a bold decision and called me. I was really grateful."
He was titled as the best villain of 2013.
He then acted as a terrifying villain in Empress Ki.
In 2014, Jung Woong-in appeared in MBC Family Entertainment's Dad! Where Are We Going? Season 2 alongside his eldest daughter Jeong Se-yoon.
He also starred in the film "Veteran" in 2015.

## Personal life

While attending a college classmate’s wedding in March 2005, Jung met Lee Ji-in, who was a college student at the time and was 12 years younger than him. They got married on June 3, 2006.
The two currently have three daughters: eldest daughter Jeong Se-yoon (born 2007), second daughter Jeong So-yoon (born 2009), and third daughter Jeong Da-yun (born 2012).
