Shim Hyung-rae clown?

[edit]

I watched a movie with Shim Hyung-rae. He appears to be a classically trained clown. In one scene, he wears a silly outfit and the others comment that he is dressed like a clown. It appears to be a joke implying that the actor normally dresses in that way. I've searched, but haven't been able to find much about him at all. Is he a trained clown? I know he has been in some movies and directed the most expensive movie in South Korea - that is all that I keep finding. Nothing about his past work. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 12:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC) Thank you for your question! Wikipedia celebrates curiosity. We are sorry that you haven't received a reply, but these reference desks are staffed by volunteers. Apparently, none of our current staff feel they have the expertise or knowledge to answer your question.[reply]

You may find answers elsewhere. One excellent resource is a real-life reference desk, staffed by professional librarians. There may be one in your area, often at a central branch of a public library system. In addition, your national library (e.g. the British Library) may allow online reference requests. An alternative is the New York Public Library's ASK service, which operates by text-chat and telephone. Here's a news article explaining how they work, which describes them as a "human Google".

Please feel free to ask us another question in the future, or indeed to re-post your original question (perhaps re-wording it) after a week or so, as there may be a different set of volunteer editors reading the page then. We apologize for not being able to help you at this time.Carbon Caryatid (talk) 16:42, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
