Yoo Ah-in (born Eom Hong-sik[2] on October 6, 1986) is a South Korean actor. He rose to fame in television series Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010), and became best known for his leading roles in coming-of-age film Punch (2011), melodrama Secret Love Affair (2014), action blockbuster Veteran (2015) and period drama film The Throne (2015),[3] drama series Six Flying Dragons (2015-2016).

Career
Eom Hong-sik was born in Daegu and dropped out of high school to pursue acting.[4] Using the stage name Yoo Ah-in, he made his acting debut in the teen series Sharp 1 in 2003. Various roles on film and television followed, from a lost teenager in low-budget indie Boys of Tomorrow, the lonely warrior in Chil-woo the Mighty, to the energetic patissier aspirant in Antique,[5] and a cheeky assistant in He Who Can't Marry.
Yoo's breakout role came in popular 2010 period drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This was followed by his first big-screen leading role in the coming-of-age film Punch, a critical and box-office success in 2011.[14][15][16][17][18] His costar, veteran actor Kim Yoon-seok predicted that "In the next 10 years, he will be one of the biggest names in Korean cinema."[4]
But Yoo's next project Fashion King was poorly received by audiences, particularly its controversial ending.[19][20][21][22]
Considered one of the most outspoken and politically minded Korean actors of his generation, Yoo drew media attention in late 2012 when he tweeted a strongly worded criticism against the withdrawal of Ahn Cheol-soo from the presidential race.[23][24] Yoo's unconventional image was strengthened by his willingness to make his social, artistic and philosophical interests public, and he is also the director of a "complex creative space" called Studio Concrete in Hannam-dong, Seoul, which he created with a group of seven artists of various media.[3]
Cast as King Sukjong in the 2013 period drama Jang Ok-jung, Living by Love, a revisionist take on infamous royal concubine Jang Hui-bin,[25] Yoo called the role one of the biggest challenges of his career and he garnered favorable press reviews for his mature, charismatic and versatile portrayal.[4]
He then played the titular character in the film Tough as Iron, about a Busan pier worker who takes care of his mother afflicted with dementia and kidney disease.[26] Yoo and Tough as Iron costar Jung Yu-mi later collaborated again as voice actors in the animated film The Satellite Girl and Milk Cow.[27]
In 2014, he appeared in a quirky supporting role in Lee Han's Thread of Lies (this was Lee's second film adaptation of a Kim Ryeo-ryeong novel after Punch). Cable melodrama Secret Love Affair followed, in which Yoo played a piano prodigy who falls for a married, much older woman.[28]
Two top-grossing films starred Yoo in 2015.[3] He played an amoral young millionaire who faces off with a detective in Ryoo Seung-wan's crime thriller/comedy Veteran, and as the tragic Crown Prince Sado in Lee Joon-ik's period drama The Throne.[29][30][31][32][33][34] Yoo was then cast as ambitious prince Yi Bang-won in the drama series Six Flying Dragons.[35][36]
