I used to work out at the gym at UPenn in my college days and Rick Yune before he became famous was usually there a lot of the times when I was working out. He used to stand in front of the mirror with his shirt off and work out. He is a pretty big guy. I'm sure he might have toned down a bit now, but back then he was pretty much an adonis. I would describe him as being the height and build of an NFL free safety. I'm around 5'9" at 174.5 cm. He had a good 5 inches on me when I stood next to him in the mirror. Very good looking guy as well, chiseled face and chiseled body. I'm not gay or nothing, but he would come close as possible for a human to that whole greek statue thing. Oh yeah, it's obvious at the time, the guy had a huge ego and was very into his whole look thing. I don't think he had many friends however. I always saw him alone. Jean says on 30/Mar/08
Grey, you are liar. Yune is not over 6'1.

the average height of east coast urban chinese and general korean males is around 5'8 ~9..so 6ft is very common in this area..and remember when your height is same to your friend you will think you are at least 1~1/2 inch taller than your friend. because you are universe. AckiLeez says on 6/Jul/07
I'm an Asian Male model, and although Rick is in acting, agents usually boost the height a bit for marketing purposes.
I'm really roughly 5'11(measured). But on my comp cards say 6'0.
And especially with the rarity of taller asian males, being taller is a great asset for clients.
My guess is he is probably 6'0-6-2. no more no less.
And for the guy who was checking him out and claiming to be straight, You're Gay buddy...*pat on the back* pb says on 15/May/07
i'm 6'3" barefoot and i saw the guy in person at some korean students conference back in 2000. didn't get to shake his hand or anything but i did stand a couple of feet from him, and thus i got a really good look. i remember being surprised that he was a lot shorter than i would've guessed, and somewhat smaller framed, although it was hard to tell for sure on that latter point because of his jacket.
anyway, i remember my friends and i all pegged his height at around 5'11" or so. i can't explain the 2" discrepancy between my estimate and what this site lists, but i know what i saw. perhaps in movies and at big hollywood events he wears high-heeled shoes, lifts, insoles, and other means of adding height to give him the appearance of a 6' 1 1/2" or 6'2" individual? regardless, there's no way he's the height listed on this site. he surely hasn't grown since 2000, and i certainly haven't shrunk.

I'll guess so guestX, well then he really is TALL! If you are checking in here again, where did you meet him at church, in south Korea? Think to remember he grew up there? guestX says on 2/Jun/06
Big Dave.. yes RIck was passing by Brosnan but at that scene, Rich was barefeet and brosnan had his shoes on guestX says on 2/Jun/06
commenting on del mar about Yoo Ji-Tae, he's about 6'2, I know this because I grew up with him and he was the tallest at our church (I was 5'11 back then), it's weird to see your youthhood friend on the big screen =) del Mar says on 7/Apr/06
Well, I guess you're right, Leung, but nevertheless are the average height for asians stated much less than for west Europeans and Americans. Even if the average height is more than 5'7", it's yet more in the west. Jason says on 7/Apr/06
John Howard's not quite 5'7'', let alone 5'9''. The little prick's nickname is little Johnny because he is little! Leung says on 7/Apr/06
Following up on my earlier post. The Australian Prime Minister John Howard who is only 5'9" is constantly made fun of because of his short stature, his nickname is "Little Johnny". Leung says on 7/Apr/06
del Mar, 5'7" is probably the "average" height of asian men, however most of the younger generation of considerably taller. It's just like 5'9" being "average" height of American men, however the reality is that the average height of most younger men in America is closer to 6'
In Australia, males less than 5'11" are considered short and females less than 5'6" are considered short. del Mar says on 5/Apr/06
He and Ji-tae Yu (listed 6ft 1,25)from Oldboy are remarkable tall asian actors! I've heard the average height for asians is about 5ft 7,5! Brett says on 5/Nov/05
if henry aint 6'4" then rick looks lie 5'10 or less haha, It looks like henrys like 6'7 + in that photo HeyYouWithTheFace says on 20/Oct/05
I can imagine a lot of white chicks going for this guy. He's huge. I think he was just a tad under Brosnan's height in the movie -- a solid 6'1.5 like this site says. He's a solidly built guy too - so I think it gives the impression that he's taller. Plus a massive (I grudgingly admit -- good looking) face. Anonymous says on 5/Sep/05
Pierce brosnan is taller then rick yune, from photos one can see pretty easily. but pierce is rate 6"1 on this site. so which ones wrong, probably pierces, hes meant to be 6"2 anyhow Anonymous says on 23/May/05
Met the dude. I'm 6-0, 6-1 with shoes. He is slightly taller than me, though at first he seemed a lot taller up close, because he has a really big face and is pretty damn buff/massive. He's actually damn good looking (though I'm straight) and all the women in the area were whispering and pointing at him. Big Dave says on 14/Mar/05
I think that he is 6ft at the very most, possibly a fraction shorter. In Die Another Day there is a scene where he walks past Pierce Brosnan on a bridge(exchanging prisoners) Pierce Brosnan is definitly taller than he is. |
