Yoo Yeon-seok (born Ahn Yeon-seok on April 11, 1984) is a South Korean actor. After making his acting debut in 2003 with a small role in ''Oldboy'', he resumed his acting career in 2008. His notable works include the films ''Re-encounter'' and ''Whistle Blower'', as well as the television series ''Reply 1994''. ==Career== Ahn Yeon-seok lived in Seoul until he was six years old and his family moved to the South Gyeongsang Province because his father, a professor of selenodesy, was posted at a national university there. In his junior year in high school he decided to take up acting, so he followed his brother, who was studying another year to enter university, to Seoul and they lived together near the district of Samseong-dong. While taking acting classes, the high schooler met a friend who would later work on the costume staff of film director Park Chan-wook. Remembering that he resembled actor Yoo Ji-tae, she gave him a call about auditioning for a role. So without having to pass out his resume, he made his acting debut as Yoo's younger counterpart in the acclaimed 2003 film ''Oldboy''.〔 Upon graduation from Sejong University with a degree in Film Arts, he resumed his acting career in 2008. At his agency's recommendation, he began using the stage name Yoo Yeon-seok. He took on supporting roles on television, such as the haughty student body president in the horror series ''Soul'' and more appealing characters in medical drama ''Midnight Hospital'' and ''Tasty Life''. But Yoo received his best reviews yet for playing a sensitive ex-boyfriend searching for his child in indie ''Re-encounter''. Soon after he became known to mainstream audiences as the rich and spoiled antagonist in the box office hit melodramas ''Architecture 101'', and ''A Werewolf Boy''. He further raised his profile with comedy film ''Born to Sing'' and the fantasy series ''Gu Family Book''. Yoo rose to popularity in the nostalgic campus drama ''Reply 1994'' in late 2013. Following his breakout year, he was cast in two high-profile films in 2014: ''Whistle Blower'' about infamous biotech researcher Hwang Woo-suk, and Joseon-set period drama ''The Royal Tailor''. Yoo then appeared in the travel-reality show ''Youth Over Flowers''. In 2015, Yoo was cast in his first leading role on network television as a chef and restaurateur in the romantic comedy series ''Warm and Cozy'', written by the Hong Sisters and set on Jeju Island. He also starred in the thriller ''Perfect Proposal'' (a remake of ''Woman of Straw''), and ''The Beauty Inside'' (adapted from the social film of the same title). Later in the year, Yoo played the protagonist in ''Le Passe-Muraille'' ("The Man Who Walked Through Wall"); this was his first stage musical since his professional acting debut (Yoo had previously appeared in theatrical productions while still in university). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yoo Yeon-seok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
