On the type of women he has dated, Yoo Ah In described, “A past girlfriend used to go back and forth from being uptight and being relaxed. I felt a certain charm in that and wanted her more.”
Yoo Ah In also stated that in the future, he would like to be in a relationship in which he can give his whole heart to.
Yoo Ah In also revealed in this interview the fact that he carries around three cellphones. On one phone he has 300 contacts stored. The second one has 20 contacts. The third has his closest friends stored and is never off.
Yoo Ah In also carries around a lighter engraved with the words “From —-’s Best Friend, Prince Uhm Hong Shik.” “Uhm Hong Shik” is Yoo Ah In’s real name and the lighter was created for his best friend’s birthday. Yoo Ah In wanted to give something more meaningful and he thought it would be funny. He ordered a thousand of these lighters last year and still has a ton left at home.

Kim Yoon-seok and Yoo Ah-in’s movie “Punch” broke through a million admissions in two weeks.

With a total of about 400,000 viewers over the past weekend, considering the fact that there are no competing movies up at the moment, it should be easy to break through a million in its second weekend. The second runner up, “Real Steel”, has gathered many audiences. Third is the melodrama “Always”with So Ji-sub, which accumulated 533,124 viewers. Source : news.nate.com/view/20… ( Korean )
Interviewing Yoo A-in was like looking for the end of a maze while holding onto a single piece of thread. And it is because it was not easy having a conversation with someone who would give an answer in a language of his own to whatever question and topic he was asked on and make the interviewer wonder about new questions. However, although that thread was thin, it was sturdy. That is the single thing that hasn’t changed about he who rose to stardom through KBS ‘”SungKyunKwan Scandal” a year ago and is now back with “Punch” where he again plays a youth who is lost yet is different. Yoo A-in still lives as Yoo A-in. That’s why he is interesting.
While watching “Punch” I suddenly thought, ‘Why does this actor always get so much burden placed on him?’ You seem to play a lot of characters that are lonely, poor and are lost.
Yoo A-in: My characters have really always been burdened by something. Because it is actually no fun to play teenagers who don’t have any burden on them and just go through everything that everyone does. I think Hyung-kyu from KBS ‘”Man Who Can’t Marry” was the rarely sound and universal character that I played. I’m sure he must’ve had concerns of his own but they didn’t necessarily show in the project.
The moment you cried out, “Why on earth are you doing this to me?” in “Punch,” I felt that you have a face that is great for expressing sadness. And I felt that it came from the feeling of unjustness that you feel inside you, not just from playing your character.
Yoo: That was really me. There definitely was a side to me that wondered, ‘Why on earth is the world treating me like this?’ and Wan-duk was just someone that’s younger than me. In terms of my facial expression, I have the face where when I raise my eyes like this, I can look sad and pitiful really well. [Laugh] I used to think that acting is difficult and tried to go with my instincts but I think I’ve come to be more analytical and know which muscles to use to express certain emotions.

A translation of a Sports Donga interview by reporter Lee Hae Ri. Yoo Ah In not only dropped out of high school, but has once also quit acting. At that time, he never stopped questioning himself – “Is acting really what I want?” He then realized, that even when he stopped acting, he could never get addicted to a comfortable life. This was his answer. This guy lives his life to the fullest. He is a star of youths, receiving the love of many ardent fans in their teens. If you thought Yoo Ah In is just well-known for being a cool fashionista, you’d better read on. This guy thinks about his troubles more fervently than peers of the same age. Yes, I’m talking about my (reporter’s) discovery of Yoo Ah In who talks passionately about his opinions. The movie “Wandeukie” is directed by Lee Han and will be opening on Oct 20, 2011. Yoo Ah In takes on the lead role of 2nd year high school student “Do Wan Deuk,” or simply known as “Wandeukie.” The majority of reviews describe the movie as “unexpected”.

Yoo Ah-in was asked at the production presentation of “Wandeugi” how he had relieved his stress from school when he was a student, and he answered, “I think that there are not many ways for students to get rid of their stress.
Due to huge stress from school, I had decided to drop out of school at that time, and I feel sorry now because I might have stayed in school if I knew how to relieve stress”.
He gave advice to current students by saying, “I think that you had better try some different things when you are a student. Once you come out to society, it will be illegal, but if students do something bad and illegal, it could be considered as a cute aberration as long as it is not that serious. I hope that you permit some degree of aberration for you”.
He continued, “I left school very early, so I have a lingering desire about high school life. It could have been a mistake in my life. While I was filming this movie, I could reminisce about my high school years, and I worried whether I could exactly express the emotion of high school students because I am already grown up”.
Asked about any aberrant behavior he had engaged in as a student, he answered, “I cannot tell you everything now. But I went to Seoul Art School at that time and I had to take lessons at night at school, which was compulsory at school, but I never participated in the class. I usually hung out with my friends at a café near our school and I was just sitting on the street without doing anything”.
Yoo Ah In wrapped up movie Wandukki in May, and is now looking for a drama for the later half of the year. This means: we’re gonna see Sik on TV f**king soon!!!!! According to his management company spokesperson, “(He) really wants to do a drama before the year ends. (Received) A lot of good scenarios to shift through. You will be seeing him in a modern drama before the year end.”
On Section TV aired June 19th, Ah In created a buzz when said he wanted to do a
“shocking melodrama” with veteran actress 이미숙/Lee Mi Sook (recently played step-mom in Cinderella’s Sister). To add oil into a burning fire, Sik revealed the rating of that movie/drama can be 25, meaning ONLY THOSE OVER 25 YEARS OLD CAN HANDLE!!!!!
Lee Mi Sook is a 51 years old veteran actress, has a very accomplished career, and still has strong chemistry with younger actors. Proof is her super hot photoshoot with TOP on ELLE last year.

Q: Can you talk about your first impressions on your fellow cast members and any interesting events that happened?
A: With regards to Yoochun, he’s a super star, so at first I originally thought of him to be distant. Unexpectedly, he was as pumped as a little kid, and sometimes even pulls…
