In the 2022 Apple TV+’s original series “Pachinko”, he was cast as Baek Isak, a humble and righteous pastor from North Korea who cares for Sunja with good feelings.  

Noh Sang Hyun is a rising actor whose range is impressive. He is also showing off his sense of variety through the entertainment show “Dopojarak: Story of Homme the K-Wanderer”.
