BIOGRAPHY (2006)
The long-legged, tall actor, is well-known for his easy-going manner, good looks, and fit body. But >, as a high school bully. In <Spy Girl>, he was a clueless student, studying for his college entrance exams the third year in a row. He wasn't in the limelight yet, but he was very, very close.
In <SuperStar Mr. Gam>, he was cast as pitcher Park Chul-soon. The natural athlete in Gong Yoo enabled him to perfect the pitching style of the real-life baseball player - Even the Korean Baseball Orgaization applauded him! Then the star joined Kim Sun-ah in the film <S Diary>, as a arrogant young man she had slept with. The name, Gong Yoo, was quickly on the rise and catching the attention of audiences and the industry!
The immature, young rookie is replaced with a mature actor ready for some real action. His latest reviews have been laced with positive praise and eagerness to see more of the star. With popularity comes more pressure... But Gong Yoo has strong motivations.
The list of productions he's been in as a supporting actor is long - And finally, he has gotten his own leading role, one well-deserved. We've seen the passion he has in his acting - But that's only the TIP of the iceberg!

Message for those who are interested to apply to be an entertainment soldier:
I feel that being an Entertainment Soldier is a very meaningful job as it help relieve comrades who are tired working for the country as well as for comrades who are at the frontline carrying guns to protect their country. If you wish to have this honour and pride, please come forward to take up this challenge.
