Uhm Jung-hwa
Hwang returned his focus to films, starring in noir film "New World" (2013), where his performance was singled out by "The New York Times". He once again worked with Uhm Jung-hwa in the queer film "In My End Is My Beginning" (which was expanded from a short film in 2009's "Five Senses of Eros"). Hwang then played a middle-aged fighter in the sports film "Fists of Legend", performing all the stunts himself.
