In 2010, Yoo rose to fame when he starred in 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal', a result of which earned him praise as a unique actor in his time. Ah-In was then cast in the film, 'Punch' (2011), which was followed by his first nomination for Best Actor in his career. Since then, Ah-In went on to star in 'Fashion King', 'Jang Ok-jung, Living by Love', 'Tough as Iron' and 'Thread of Lies'. What's more, he made a brilliant comeback in 2020 when he starred in and made headlines for '#Alive', which eventually became the first hit film in South Korea since the pandemic hit the film industry, and was also the first Korean film to top Netflix movies all over the globe!
