[Interview] Yeo Jin Goo Hopes that One Day He Can Look Younger than His Age

[footballfina]

 

Having turned 18 years old this year, Yeo Jin Goo met with Newsen recently and spilled on looking more mature than his age.

Yeo Jin Goo debuted through film Sad Movie in 2005 at the age of 9 and since then has been acting in both small and big screens, showing mature acting abilities. Have there been any difficulties for Yeo Jin Goo, who has already spent nine years as an actor?

He said, “I want to grow taller but it’s been difficult since I don’t get much sleep. But it’s okay since acting is really fun. I really enjoy acting. Like my friends who enjoy going to school, I’ve been enjoying acting.â€

 

When asked if he has any concerns these days, Yeo Jin Goo brought up his role of ‘Soo Myung’ from film Shoot My Heart, which is what he is currently filming.

“Soo Myung from Shoot My Heart suffers from schizophrenia. I’ve heard about schizophrenia but I didn’t know much about it. There are many symptoms of the disease and even though I analyzed the character by reading the original novel and talking with the writer, it was harder than I thought. And Soo Myung is a quiet person on the outside but I want to show him as a dynamic person on the inside, so I’m concerned about how I will show that in a deep way.â€

Yeo Jin Goo will be acting as the same ahe as Lee Min Ki in the movie, who is actually twelve years older than him. He also acted opposite Ha Yeon Soo in tvN’s Potato Star 2013QR3 recently, who is seven years older than him. Doesn’t he feel pressure to be acting side by side with the actors with a large age gap?

 

 

“Lee Min Ki hyung really takes good care of me at the filming site. He told me to speak to him comfortably, so I’ve been trying. Yeon Soo nuna also treated me really nicely when we filmed. I don’t have much discomfort since they were both really nice.â€

The actor continued to share about his ‘older’ image saying, “I often hear that I look more mature than my age but I also hear that people who look mature when they are young end up looking younger than their age as they get older. I don’t know about others, but I don’t think I look much older than I did last year or two years ago, so hopefully if this continues, I’ll hear that my face doesn’t age. That’s what I’m hoping for. Haha.â€

Yeo Jin Goo showed optimism from the beginning until the end of the interview. What are some of the characters that this young actor, who has countless days to act ahead of him, wants to act out?

“I’d like to take on a villain role and a funny role too. I also want to act out a sly character, like Ryu Seung Ryong sunbaenim. I’m also okay with a dumb character.â€

Doubtful... after news of him trying to get out of army duty came out that love flipped 180....

??

Who are you talking about?

 

 

Yeo Jin Goo is 18(Korean age) and it will be another 10+ years before he needs to get enlisted. He acted since he was 8 and is transitioning from his child actor status to lead status in coming years. He is still young and a good actor so I see a bright future ahead of him.

He already applied for the Police Promotional Unit along with Super Junior's Sungmin. After all the back lash he got from it he rescinded the application...

Hmm

I don't know why I've never heard of that and the backlash because he is fairly loved in Korea, he and Kim You Jung (+Kim Sohyun) actually as the two brightest and most popular child actors to be leads in the future when they grow up completely.
