Wiki.
The President's Barber (Korean: 효자동 이발사; RR: Hyojadong Ibalsa) is a 2004 South Korean comedy drama film directed by Im Chan-sang. It follows a barber, his wife, and their only son through four decades of tumultuous Korean history.

The role of the barber is played by Song Kang-ho and Moon So-ri plays his wife.
