< More news to share as we uncover Yoo Geon and his mysterious profile >
* PLEASE PROVIDE FULL CREDITS SHOULD THIS ARTICLE & TRANSLATION ARE BOTH TAKEN OUT FROM CARI FORUM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CORPORATION *
Yoo Geon "the stubborn unemployed bum is a lot like me"
Big bright round eyes and tall nose, through his sturdy built, he often gets mistaken as mix-race.
Even from Caucasians in America, he was thought as mix-race. To prove he was 'Korean' he made a choice one summer and
his skin color changed. As his skin tanned to brown under the sun, his Caucasian friends realized he was Asian.
Actor Yoo Geon (24) who has an attractive appearance is very Korean unlike his outter look.
After exchanging just a few words he is already joking and his warm manner wants you to share your thoughts.
His amiable behavior scents off that he is native more so even than the soybean paste soup.
Perhaps that is why it feels really natural for him to play the 20-something jobless Seo Jong-Man character in film "The Kidnapping Incident of Madam Kwon Soon-Boon." ( MISSION POSSIBLE: KIDNAPPING GRANNY K)
He wears jeans instead a suit, and he is a jobless bum who lives in reality instead of goals, and the image he sets off is not polished refinement, but rather a comic ruined person. "Actually this is a new venture for me too. This is first time acting comic. But after I did it I realized he resembles me a lot. His role is part of a 3-person team that kidnaps Madam Gwon Soon-Boon (Na Moon-Hee), as the youngest member who is their driver." He does whatever he wants with the orders given to him by his seniors and ruins things and has a lot of complaints. Yoo says, "with wardrobe of clothing he's never wore before" and "it is a project that helped me realize by awkward points."
Though Yoo Geon began his acting through 2006 KBS 'Hello Dear God,' he actually got a taste of the entertainment world in '99 as a rapper in the group 'OPPA.' And he went through a lot before his debut in entertainment.
After wrapping up his singing career he went against his parents to return to Korea to be an actor,
and while working odd jobs in clothing shops and restaurants, he groomed his dream of becoming an actor.
With the money he earned penny by penny he entered school and enrolled in a management company but was conned. He says, "Back then I didn't have a place to sleep, so I went to my friends' places, and it was to the extent that there are no neighborhoods in Seoul I didn't live in," and as he blushed around the eyelids he disclosed,
"When I think about it now I became an actor by my own making." Whether it is because of the difficult past, or because of the past times of loneliness, he says he is more comfortable infront of the camera than infront of people.
He said, "I am most happy and joyful the moment I act." "Even though I started acting against my parents, now I think that being happy in acting is my way of being filial. No matter how many times I go into filming, I am always happy in my heart."

Interview : YTN Star
Interview with YTN Star News: 14/09/2007
꽃미남 배우 유건
< Pretty Boy Actor Yoo Geon >
YTN: Our studio is so much brighter since a handsome man like Yoo Geon is here. You are even more handsome in person. I heard you are active these days, are you busy?
A: the film opened on 9/13, and so since then I've been busy with promotion, and passing time busily doing this and that.
YTN: The film 'Kidnapping Mz. Kwon' opened this Wednesday and it's receiving lots of love. What is it about?
A: It's about 3 people who are trying to kidnap Mz. Kwon Soon-Boon, and the drama that arises from it. Na Mun-Hee teacher is very smart so even though we kidnapped her it's as if we're the ones getting kidnapped.
YTN: Yoo Geon, your role is one of the 3 sloppy kidnappers, right? What is he like?
YG: Mine is the role of 'Jong-Man' who is a 20 something bum, and who isn't very bright, but he is very opinionated, and stubborn in doing things his way, and lives life without much thought.
Q: In comic films it seems there might be lots of NGs due to the hilarity. Especially since mz. Na Mun-Hee's great at ad lib. Please tell us about something that occurred that was funny.
YG: Teacher Na Mun-Hee, and everyone was so good at acting, instead of saying the NG was funny, it was fun all the time we were acting. The director is very funny, and the whole acting was fun,
and Yoo Hae-Jin sunbae

유건 "요즘 장근석 씨 연기가 범상치 않던데요."
2007년 09월 12일 오전 10:56
미남배우 유건이 최근 눈여겨 보게되는 또래 배우로 장근석을 꼽았다. 영화 '권순분 여사 납치사건'(감독 김상진, 제작 감독의집 )의 개봉을 앞둔 유건은 동시기 개봉 경쟁작 '즐거운 인생'(감독 이준익, 제작 영화사아침) 의 장근석을 예사롭지 않게 바라보고 있다고 한다.
"라이벌 개념이 아니라 또래 배우들의 연기를 보며 긴장도 하고 배우기도 하는데, 요즘 장근석 씨를 유심히 보게 되더라고요. 드라마 '황진이'에서 준비된 연기가 인상적이었어요. 앳돼 보이는 외모와 달리 다양한 색깔을 담을 수 있는 그릇이 될 것 같아요."
장근석과 온주완, 박진우 등 열심히 노력하는 또래 배우들을 보며 긴장감을 늦추지 않는다는 그는 이번 영화에서 코믹 연기에 도전, 쟁쟁한 선배들과 호흡을 이뤘다. 국민 어머니 나문희를 위시해 유해진, 강성진 등 선배들과 연기한 유건은 무사 태평의 백수 '종만' 역할을 맡아 영화의 흐름을 따르는 코믹 연기를 보여주었다.
영화 '권순분 여사 납치사건'과 올 연말께로 개봉 일정을 미룬 '무림여대생'에서 서로 다른 모습을 보여줄 유건. 어떤 영화가 더 잘 될 지 꼽을 수 없다는 그는 "마치 아빠가 좋으냐, 엄마가 좋으냐는 질문에 답하기 힘든 것과 마찬가지"라고 애정을 보인다.
인기나 흥행보다 작품 속에 잘 녹아드는 연기를 하고 싶어 출연했다는 '권순분 여사 납치사건'과 '안녕하세요 하느님'의 순하고 여린 캐릭터 이후 강하고 남성적인 모습을 보여주고자 '무림여대생'에 합류했다고 한다. 덕분에 영화에서 액션이 가미된 터프하고 강인한 이미지를 보여줄 수 있을 것 같다고 그는 자신감을 보인다.
영화와 드라마를 오가며 바쁘게 필모그래피를 만들어가고 있는 유건은 최근 종영한 드라마 '불량커플'에서도 인상적인 캐릭터를 연기했다. 소심한 유부녀의 자아찾기를 옆에서 물심양면 지원하는 부유하고 자상한 모델 역할을 맡았다. 남편에게 버림받은 유부녀 최정윤의 가짜 애인 노릇을 해주다 사랑에 빠지는 극중 역할은 많은 여성 시청자들의 지지를 받기에 충분했다.
"사실 (최) 정윤 누나를 고등학교 때부터 좋아했어요. 누나와 연기를 한다고 생각하니 팬으로서 가슴이 어찌나 설레던지요. 좋은 경험이었어요." 드라마 속 수영장 신을 위해 난생처음 끼니를 거르며 다이어트를 해봤다며 웃는 유건. 브라운관과 스크린을 오가며 많은 작품을 통해 다양한 매력을 뽐내고 있다

Repost Spoilers " LOVE SELLING DOT COM "
Spoilers Alert !
Dong A makes his entrance to the restaurant. There he meets YeonWoo (JYH) - who's working as a waitress.
^As he tries to speak to YW, Dong A accidentally trips & tipped over YW's tray ... oH-Oh! the coffee cup flew over to this AhJummah.
In this next scene, Dong A is seen with his friend - Tae Ho.
^Tae Ho shows Dong A the picture of his "girlfriend (i.e. HeeJoo ) " stored in his handphone.
Tae Ho suggests to set him up for a blind date on the site .. so he sign up Dong A in this ' Love Selling Dot Com ' site
(even tho Dong A said 'no' )
While, the 2 guys goes for some soju for a heart-to-heart talk...& DongA surfing the net searching for this artist ( I think.. )
^ DongA receives news YW has quit working at the restaurant.
Tae Ho & Dong A is shocked to see YW's picture on the website ...
^TaeHo hurries Dong A to text msg this 'girl' & now this girl ie Yeon Woo - rcvs the text message.
Dong A set a place for them to meet that is , at the ' Fine Arts Museum' & YW agrees to meet his ' blind-date '
( unknowingly that it's Dong A).
Both guys got so happy & excited upon receiving YW's favourable reply, they hugged each other .
Tae Ho dials HeeJoo's h/phone wanting to tell her bout this matter .... instead, Hee Joo pretends that she's abroad ( Paris...? Rome ? )
& that her line ( h/phone connexion ) is bad .. then cuts it off .
Next ... as YW walks up to her meeting place, she thinks her date is late ( unknowingly that her 'blind-date' is already there but hiding behind a tree )
YW suddenly hears a faint whistling sound of a h/p ...turns & walked towards the faint voice talking behind the tree ( observe the cute reactions from DongA ) ... YW got closer to the tree & instantly recognises that is Dong A ...the same guy from the restaurant ! )
YW turns & hurried to leave. Dong A spots her & calls out aloud for her name but YW pretended not to hear & continues to leave...
^ Dong A caught up with YW & asks if she's here to meet her 'date'. YW denies it.
So, Dong A tested her and dialled to his 'blind date's' h/p no. ... YeonWoo trapped in more awkward situation when her h/p rang right in front of him !!
Yeon Woo tries harder to differ & says that this h/phone isnt hers...and tries to leave again.
Quickly Dong A shows her these tickets & bowed humbly for her.
Leaving with no alternative YW asks Dong A to 'follow her'.
At the Art Gallery - here Yeon Woo's describing the Art display ...
Dong A listens as he grins to himself in delight ....
(Their dating scene is so cute ! this familiar nice English song playing @ the background )
While out on the streets in the midst Yeon Woo & Dong A were seperated ... YW dials DongA's h/p but later decides not to...since they're not 'lovers' (thinks YeonWoo..)
So she switched off her h/p instead. Dong A went looking all over for her, he even tries to call Yeon Woo but wasnt able to get hold of her.
YW goes home with disappointment. HJ asks how's her date...YW replied it's not like how she expected it to be.
(Aah ~ seems that Dong A was already attracted to YW frm the beginning.)
HeeJoo (YeonWoo's room mate / buddy) recvs this text msg saying '' I miss You ...'' from this other guy ( Seo Ji Han )
whom she's been seeing without Tae Ho's knowing . HJ hurries over to see SeoJiHan @ his place.
Next scene...YW is out with this 'long haired-specky' guy .. (i think, it's another one of her ' blind-date(s) ' ?? )
YW receives a text msg from Dong A. (Seems that of late, she's been avoiding all of his calls)
Dong A text msg to asks YW to return him his call. YW excused herself from the specky guy to make this call to Dong A.
( ^Woah .. this scene, the facial expressions .. Dong A speaks to YW in super speed made him sounded like chipmunks ... ... )
After such speedy explanation...YW agrees to meet up with DA.
Next, YW meets Dong A at Lotte World (... I think ). Dong A suggests they go skating ...YW hesitated.
So they had some fun... ( & I had fun watching these 2 'butterflies' .. )
(^More sweet n captivating scenes of the love-birds. in the skating rink )
Some visuals:
Dong A professes to YW
^ (Flashback) himself being bored & snoozing during one of his ' soo gae ting ' ( Edit: ' introduction meeting ' ) at the restaurant where Yeon Woo works.
Then he woke up & saw his ' love at first sight ' --> ....... her, that is. ( Yeon Woo blushes & suddenly feels the atmosphere is a little warm. )
In this next scene - they went for some ' refreshments'.... and more dialogues.
(YW made a pretty nice sketch of Dong A on the paper napkin )
Due to some misunderstanding YW got annoyed with Dong A, so she stepped outside.
Dong A raced up to Yeon Woo then puts his arm round her shoulder .... (Uh Oh...bad timing)
^.... Dong A tries to kiss YeonWoo .. & later got the nose bleed
Dong A sees Tae Ho & tells him what happened earlier (nose bleed). Tae Ho teases Dong A & then falls off frm his swing.
*giggles* Dong A got pretty mad so he chases TH round the park /playground. Tae Ho encourages Dong A to call YW to apologise on his behaviour ... in return, Dong A receives a loud YELL from Yeon Woo.
Next scene - YW is seen out with this specky ajusshi (again) .... her heart & mind is some where else...
this specky ajusshi wants YW to be his steady.... YW panics & quickly runs out frm the ajusshi's car.
At Hee Joo's home : Hee Joo tries to call SeoJiHan but he hangs up on her.
YW comes back & i dont quite catch what was their conversation...
