In the entertainment industry where handsome guys and beauties are blooming, what most handsome men and beauties fear most is their appearance. They are afraid of the ruthlessness of time, but Kong Yoo is on the contrary. Time is more like him. A gift. If 15 years ago, Kong Yoo was a teenager with a face full of collagen; then 15 years later, Kong Yoo is a wise man who has been tempered over the years.
Mention Kong Yoo’s early acting works, most people should think of "The Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", this TV series changed his view of idol drama. Before filming this TV series, Kong Yoo was very resistant to acting in idol dramas. He felt that this kind of love story was just to please the audience, and it was actually meaningless, and even reached the point of boredom. It was not until later that he had a face-to-face and candid conversation with the director that he understood the gentleness, tolerance and understanding contained in the play, and then agreed to take the play.
Kong Yoo also quickly became popular with the "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", but at this time he had to go to military service, leaving regrets for the fans, but also cut off his growing plump wings. Kong Yoo, who was serving in the military, received a novel from his superiors—The Forge. The opportunity came quietly in this wonderful life. After reading the novel, Kong Yoo was deeply shocked and immediately decided to adapt the story into a movie. After retiring from the army, he spent two years resisting pressure from all sides, breaking through various obstacles and difficulties, and finally shot the movie "The Melting Pot" that sparked national heated debate.

After two years of shooting, Kong Yoo suspended his work and faded out of the showbiz. During the break, people could hardly hear anything about him.
2016 was a year when Kong Yoo made a strong return. After nearly 3 years of precipitation, he became more peaceful and seemed to have found a direction that suits him. This year, he starred in TV series and movies "Ghosts" and "Travel to Busan" rave reviews. When filming "Travel in Busan", Kong Yoo admitted frankly that as long as the effect of the film is good, it doesn't matter if you don't play the role of color. He no longer eagerly wanted to grasp something to prove himself, nor was he lost in the sense of glory.
The biggest wish of most artists should be "famous", but this is not the case for Kong Yoo. He said in an interview on the talk show: "It's really been a year of getting a lot of blessings, but on the other hand, do you think I deserve to have so many? Under this kind of thinking, the whole person slowly becomes a little cringe and has to bear it. All this seems a bit difficult.” And frankly said, there is no way to enjoy this sudden pursuit, this kind of life will make him feel depressed. In the interview, he also expressed his gratitude to everyone for their likes, but in order to prevent the audience from seeing his bad side, he had to stop work again.
continued until the movie "Kim Jiyoung Born in 1982" was released in 2019. This film made Kong Yoo "shenzhen" again, but this movie also caused him to be controversial. From "The Furnace" to "Jin Ji Young Born in 1982" "Zhiying", these movies are all related to social issues, and one can't help but wonder if Kong Yoo can only accept this type of movie?

But he still said: "My position in the film industry is a bit too high and not too low. Although it is a bit unpleasant, it's just my heart.In terms of acting skills, my acting skills are more mature than those of newcomers, but I am very immature compared to powerful actors. "The low-key and modest quality keeps Kong Yoo at a safe distance from this bizarre entertainment industry.
In fact, the audience who has watched Kong Yoo’s interviews can find that although he has played roles with various personalities, he His character has not been affected. Behind this is the experience of time and the self-cultivation of the actor. Just like Song Kanghao's evaluation of him: "Kong Yoo's mind and soul are very clean and transparent. "

"Kong Yoo allowed us to see the strict requirements of an actor for himself, and also the sobriety and introspection behind the fame and fortune. Some people stopped to go further.
