Actor Yoo Hai Jin is taking a new leap forward by signing an exclusive contract with VAST Entertainment.
VAST Entertainment representative Kang Geon-taek said in an official statement on the 6th, "I am happy and honored to join actor Yoo Hai Jin for his new start after receiving much love from audiences for a long time," and added, "We will stand as a reliable partner for the various challenges that actor Yoo Hai Jin, who has a unique charm, will undertake."
Debuting in 1997 with the film 'Blackjack', Yoo Hai Jin communicated with audiences through numerous works starting with 'Attack the Gas Station', 'A Single Spark', 'Public Enemy', and went on to 'Tazza', 'Jeon Woo-chi', 'The Unjust', 'Confidential Assignment', 'Lucky', '1987', 'Intimate Strangers', 'Mal·moi', 'The Night Owl', and 'YADANG: The Snitch', solidifying a unique position with a wide acting spectrum.
In addition, from the films 'The King and the Clown', 'Veteran', 'A Taxi Driver', 'Exhuma' and up to the top talked-about film of early 2026, 'The King's Warden', he led box office successes that attracted more than 10 million viewers, writing the great record of surpassing 100 million cumulative viewers for his films, showing his seasoned presence as a pillar supporting Korean cinema.
His activities off-screen are also remarkable. Yoo Hai Jin's distinctive charm shone on variety shows as well. His unpretentious and sincere demeanor shown in tvN's 'Three Meals a Day' series and 'Spanish Hostel', 'Outside the Tent Is Europe', and his refined yet comfortable way of communicating have established him as a "national actor" loved by all generations.
Recently rising to No. 1 in actor brand reputation and enjoying the peak of his career in 2026, Yoo Hai Jin's next destination is the film 'Assassin(s)'. 'Assassin(s)' tracks the suspicions and backers of the Aug. 15 shooting incident that shocked Korea, and Yoo Hai Jin is expected to once again demonstrate his box-office prowess playing a police inspector from the central precinct who witnessed the incident on site.
Meanwhile, VAST Entertainment represents actors Hyunbin, Jang Keun-suk, Park So-i, Hwang Wooseul-hye, Ryu Hyeyoung, Shin Do-hyun and others. Attention is focusing on what kind of synergy the new meeting between Yoo Hai Jin and VAST Entertainment will create as they open a new chapter.<
