The time has come for another break, and yet again I've already delayed it, but only for about a month this time, so I'm getting better :P But the last few months I've been working overtime when it comes to research and got a great deal done, but I need some rest too. Now that my Steam library is working and my PC has had an overhaul (almost done), the timing seems perfect. So this will be my last KUP for a while, I do have one more film update coming in a few days too, but then it'll be a little while before my next update. Don't worry, there's always plenty more to come.

Today we have Jun Chong (aka Jeong Joon), I have used this transliteration as this is the version of his name that he's been credited as throughout the majority of his career both on and off the screen. Though born in Korea, he moved to the US in the 70s and has been there ever since.

He's probably more famous as being a martial arts champion and trainer of champions than as an actor, and when it comes to Korea, he only did three films, which is a pity. I do plan to do a bio for him at some point, but it won't be ready for a long while, as it's easy to find information on him all over the place already, that's also why I'm keeping this note quite brief.

He already had a page with a few alias and the info that he was male and from South Korea. The only credit was for Bruce and there were no portraits which is understandable as even my with my “DVD” version, the quality of the footage is horrendous, very blurry and extremely dark, it was not a fun one to work with.

So I've added some other aliases, his year of birth and added a small list of his students, as he's had many actors among them, including several that appear on the HKMDB.
