Im Ha-ryong (born Im Han-yong on October 31, 1952) is a South Korean
actor and comedian. During the 1980s and 1990s, Im was one of Korea's
foremost comedians (called "gag men") alongside Shim Hyung-rae and Kim
Hyung-gon. As his brand of comedy became less popular among younger
viewers, Im started appearing in small supporting roles in films and
television series, particularly those directed by Jang Jin. In 2005,
he won Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for his
first major film role as a veteran soldier in the hit Korean War
dramedy Welcome to Dongmakgol. Other notable films include
workplace/musical drama Bravo My Life (2007) and political satire Good
Morning President (2009).
