  1. Byun Jang-ho's birthdate: movie.naver.com gave the 1940 date in the introduction, but the text said he was born in 1935. Two articles said he was born in 1939. However, Daum agrees with the 1940 birthdate . All the news articles from when he was named to the National Academy of Arts in 2012 agree that he was 72 at the time . Similarly he won an art award from Goyang City in 2007 and the article said he was 67 at the time . It seemed the 1940 date is more likely to be correct. Researched by User 58.176.246.42.
