Actor Kim Soo Hyun aced a lot of firsts in his six-year career and this week he adds narrator to his list of accomplishments. The actor, who mastered songs and dance moves for his role as a Kirin High student in "Dream High," will debut as a narrator on a documentary special about director Bong Joon Ho.

He agreed to narrate the "MBC Documentary Special - Director Bong Joon Ho" because he is a big fan of his works.

"As an actor and a fan of director Bong Joon Ho, it's an honor for me to narrate his documentary special," said Kim Soo Hyun. "I'll do my best to give viewers a closer look at the director's productions and life."

The documentary, which airs on Aug. 26, will examine the inspirations behind Bong Hoon Jo's creative vision and works.

Bong Joon Ho is currently breaking box office records with the release of his English language film, "Snowpiercer," which stars Song Kang ho, Go Ah Sung, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Jamie Bell and Tilda Swinton. The science fiction film has already sold eight million tickets since its release earlier this month and its success attracted attention from international newspapers such as "Variety," "The Wall Street Journal" and "The Hollywood Reporter." The film is set in the future when everything is frozen except for one moving train full of survivors and that train is segregated into the haves and the have nots.

Bong Joon Ho is known for his dark humor and not so subtle political commentary.

Before "Snowpiercer," the director was best known for "The Host," a film that combined elements of a horror film with commentary about the American military presence in Korea. That film also starred Song Kang Ho and Go Ah Sung. In the film, the Han River is polluted when the American military dumps chemicals and a few years later those chemicals spawn a monster. "The Host" also broke box office records, selling 10 million tickets in three weeks and attracting fans worldwide.

Other films that Bong directed include "Barking Dogs Never Bite," "Memories of a Murder," and "Mother." He also wrote the screenplays for "Seven Reasons Why Beer is Better Than A Love," "Motel Cactus," "Phantom the Submarine" and "Antarctic Journal." He had acting cameos in a few films, including "Crush and Blush."

Kim Soo Hyun recently broke some box office records of his own, when his appearance as a North Korean spy in "Secretly, Greatly," helped that film sell millions of tickets in record time.
