Yoo Ah-in (born October 6, 1986 in Daegu , South Korea ; real name: Eom Hong-sik) is a South Korean actor . He had his breakthrough with the television series Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010) and the film Punch (2011). Punch had more than 5.3 million cinema viewers in South Korea, making it one of the most successful films of the year. The adaptation of the novel of the same name by Kim Ryŏ-ryŏng was directed by Lee Han . Yoo also worked with Lee on Lee's next film, Thread of Lies (2014) , which is also a film adaptation of a Kim Ryŏ-ryŏng novel . In these, Yoo plays a larger supporting role.

In 2015 he was finally hailed for his role as the villain in the action film Veteran - Above the Law . He also played the leading role in the historical film The Throne as Crown Prince Sado alongside Song Kang-ho and Moon Geun-young . In 2018 he starred in Lee Chang-dong's film Burning , which was screened in competition at the Cannes Film Festival . In 2019 he played in the music video for Starry Night by the South Korean house musician and DJ Peggy Gou, staged by Jonas Lindstroem .

Far from show business, Yoo is very politically active.
