Actor Yoo Hai Jin signs an exclusive contract with VAST Entertainment and embarks on a new leap. Since it is the agency that represents Hyunbin, expectations are growing for the synergy between the two.
VAST Entertainment CEO Kang Geon-taek said in an official statement on the 6th, "We are pleased and honored to join actor Yoo Hai Jin, who has long been loved by audiences, in his new beginning," and "We will stand as a strong partner so that actor Yoo Hai Jin, who has a distinctive charm, can take on various challenges."
Yoo Hai Jin, who debuted in the 1997 film 'Blackjack,' went on to build his presence through numerous works including 'The Gas Station Raid,' 'A Moonlit Night in Silla,' and 'Public Enemy,' followed by 'Tazza,' 'Jeon Woo-chi,' 'Confidential Assignment,' '1987,' and 'Mal-Mo-E.' With his characteristic realistic acting and human charm, he has demonstrated a wide acting spectrum across genres and established himself as a leading actor in Korean cinema.
Especially after appearing in major hits such as 'The King and the Clown,' Veteran, A Taxi Driver, Exhuma, and most recently The King's Warden, Yoo Hai Jin further solidified his position as a "box office guarantee." Based on the achievements of these works, the cumulative audience for films featuring Yoo Hai Jin surpassed 100 million, leaving one of the most notable records in Korean cinema.
Recently ranked first in actor brand reputation and continuing his heyday, Yoo Hai Jin is set to appear in the upcoming film 'Assassin(s).' Yoo Hai Jin is expected to once again deliver a weighty presence by playing the role of a chief inspector at the central police station. Attention is focused on what kind of synergy the meeting between Yoo Hai Jin, who has built audience trust with a solid filmography, and VAST Entertainment will create, and on his next moves following the box office momentum of The King's Warden.
Meanwhile, VAST Entertainment represents Hyunbin as well as Jang Keun-suk, Hwang Wooseul-hye, Ryu Hyeyoung, and Shin Do-hyun.
