After a few roles in Korean TV movies, Yong-jun Bae became a star thanks to the series "Winter Sonata". Following this triumph, Yong-jun Bae could have chosen the easy way out and tapped into the opportunity. Instead he chose to try something different by debuting in cinema. His first part on the big screen was that of a Valmont-like ruthless seducer in Yong Je's 2003 "Untold Scandal", a loose adaptation of "Dangerous Liaisons". He was totally different but as convincing in the sensitively told romance "April Snow", showing once again that there is more to Yong-jun Bae than just a standard heartthrob.
Favorite Sports: Geomdo, Hapkido (martial arts).
His loves Golf, Computer Gaming, Photography, Weightlifting, Fishing.
He was educated in Il-mun Preschool and Myung-il Elementary School. In his school days, Bae was a very quiet boy with few friends. He eventually went to study in PaiChai Middle School and Hanyoung High School.
After 1999, Bae decided to step away from acting to focus on his education at Sung Kyun Kwan University, where he majored in film studies.
He is also known as the abbreviated BYJ to many of his fans, or as Yon-sama with the "sama" being an honorific suffix in Japanese.
