Biography

Throughout the mid-1990's, Yoo Oh-sung complemented a career in television with minor roles in film. With his success playing a young gangster in the hit movie Beat, Yoo's face became familiar to a new generation of moviegoers. The year 1999 was somewhat of a breakthrough, as he took the lead role in the acclaimed comedy The Spy and also starred in the hugely successful comedy Attack the Gas Station.

His career reached its peak in the year 2001, however. Appearing as the co-star in Kwak Kyung-taek's smash hit Friend, which sold an unprecendented 8 million tickets, Yoo won effusive critical praise for his hard-edged performance as a ruthless gangster and enjoyed a tremendous degree of exposure.

This fame would carry over somewhat when he took the lead in director Kwak's fourth feature Champion, a 1980s-set biopic of Korean boxer Kim Deuk-gu. However, even though Yoo was praised for his body makeover and acting skills, the film failed to deliver on the high expectations that preceded it. Later that year, a series of highly public disagreements with Kwak made headlines and served to cool some of the public's interest in the actor.

Yoo's next two films, the melodrama Byul with actress Park Jin-hee and the patriotic/historical drama Thomas Ahn Joong-geun, bombed badly at the box office, with most Koreans seemingly unaware of their very existence. At this stage the future course of Yoo's career seems to be in question.
