As His Military Discharge Day Draws Near Yoo Seung Ho Considers New Acting Roles

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

There are less than three months left until actor Yoo Seung Ho finishes his mandatory military service. And he has been an exemplary soldier. He enlisted earlier than most k-drama actors, signing up when he was only 19. He chose active duty at a time when there was still the option of working with the now-defunct Defense Media Agency. In that department celebrities could serve in various public relations capacities and received some special benefits. But Yoo Seung Ho did not want any special treatment. He got good grades during his basic training and served as an instructor in the department that trains recruits.

But now that his service is about to end, he is already considering what his future acting projects will be.


His last project before enlisting was playing the vulnerable villain Kang Hyung Joon in "Missing You," with co-stars Park Yoochun and Yoon Eun Hye.

His agency, San Entertainment told OSEN that the actor is looking at different projects including a film titled "Joseon Magician."

"The film 'Joseon Magician' is only one of the projects we received proposals for," said a San Entertainment representative. "Although it is true that we did get the scenario for 'Joseon Gunman,' no decision has been made yet regarding the project. We are currently receiving good proposals and 'Joseon Magician' is only one of the many proposals we received."

Despite his young age, Yoo Seung Ho is a veteran actor. He debuted at age seven in the drama "Daddy Fish" and became a star with his first film "The Way Home." Since then he has done several films and dozens of dramas. At first he played the child versions of other actors but by the age of 16 he was taking roles of his own. The award-winning actor is known for his leading role in "Operation Proposal" and for playing the Jade Emperor in "Arang and the Magistrate."

Whatever project he chooses in the future, he should know that Park Shin Hye is interested in working with him. Earlier this year in an interview with InStyle magazine, the actress was talking about the popularity of the older woman/younger man or noona dramas.

Although she is only three years older than him, she said she would not mind starring in a noona romance with him, should the opportunity ever arise.

She described the actor as seeming "mature and manly." K-drama producers may want to consider this idea before Yoo Seung Ho's schedule gets too full.

I agree on this. Yoo Seungho loves acting and you can see it in his eyes when he acts. He is one of truly genuine persons who you know loves what they're doing. :D

I wish he took better project. I'm so pissed with his last project. :(

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

seriously, you can see the passion in his eyes, it's like they are on fire, he is not only a gifted actor, but one that truly loves acting and evolving.

ugh me too.

That seems like no time at all. I think he did the right thing - a clean break with being a child actor and no career interruption later on. He's talented, so I hope he's picky when it comes to selecting parts

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

omg has it been two years???? what have i been doing with my life

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I need him to act in historical drama again where his hair is as perfect and fabulous as Yeo Woon. 8D

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

Yay, I really loved him as The Jade Emperor.

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, coming back already?!? Good for him, I don't think there were any news about him serving that were anything but positive.

[pentrue.livejournal.com]

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

YEEEEEEEEEEES, DECEMBER!!! :3
Although I agree with the other commenters that he really seems to like acting, I've also read interviews where I got the vibe that he might be done with dramas after the military. Idk, on one hand I'd like to see him in more quality shows but on the other hand I also get that the whole live-shooting thing is hellish. :(
