Tossup

At the end of one film, this actor’s character operates a shop that appears illuminated by a lamppost in a wide shot of a riverbank during a nighttime snowstorm. In another film, a character played by this actor collects the drug Kronole to destroy the title location. A character played by this actor works with his alcoholic brother and professional archer sister to rescue his daughter from a (*) monster (10[1])created by (10[1])the American (10[1])military’s dumping of formaldehyde. The director of one film noted that he hoped the subject of the film would see it in theaters to explain a shot of this actor looking directly into the camera after being told a man looked “ordinary.” Another film ends with a character played by this actor communicating with his son by using the lights in a house to send messages in morse code. For 10 points, name this Korean actor, a frequent star of Bong Joon-Ho films like Memories of Murder and Parasite. ■END■
