It’s nearly the end of 2021. With vaccination rates on an upward trend, businesses have already begun reopening, invigorating the economy once again. And yet the Covid-19 virus still continues to reap its victims, a grim reminder that we are still not over this pandemic that has caught the world in its grip for nearly the past two years. During these trying times, medical frontliners have been hailed as heroes for their life-saving work and courage in facing this unprecedented health emergency.

The breakout performance propelled him to international popularity and cemented his status as one of the most successful actors in South Korea. Perhaps it was this display of heroism, coupled with his ‘tough guy’ persona, that landed him in Hollywood’s radar. In 2019, Ma was handpicked to join the cast of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Eternals alongside a star-studded lineup of actors including…
