If I had a VIP preview, I want to call and invite her."

"Hong Soo Hyun and KARA's Seungyeon were co-stars whose characters I hated so much in the drama to the point that I even felt bad. Whereas Tae Hee noona and I had good chemistry together.

Yoo Ah In revealed, “I have a great feeling about this drama, especially after meeting our villainous director. I was aware that I had a harnessed scene today, but I had no idea that I was doing the stunt myself. I was a little afraid at first, but I had fun filming.”

Yoo Ah In’s new reality show on Mnet ‘Launch My Life’ airs this week!

Actor Yoo Ah In will star in a reality show for the first time in his life!
Yoo Ah In has been cast for the main role in a fashion business reality program on Mnet titled ‘Launch My Life.’ The show is scheduled to air on the 24th and he’s going to be following the footsteps of Seo In Young, who starred in the show’s previous season.
In ‘Seo In Young’s Launch My Life,‘ she showed the process of launching her own bag working as a creative director for French brand Nana Ricci. In ‘Yoo Ah In’s Launch My Life,’ Yoo Ah In will show the collaboration process between casual brand ‘JACK&JILL’ and ‘HAZZYS.’
He will also be showing a side of himself that was never shown in front of camera before.
“There is a certain stereotype about Yoo Ah In because he is rarely exposed to the public,” said producer Lee Seon Young. “We thought he would be rebellious, courageous, fashionable and sometimes lonely.” She explained, “through the show, we didn’t try to break that stereotype. But to show everything about him as he is because that kind of prejudice is also part of him.”
She also added, “We learned through the reality show that Yoo Ah In is very passionate about fashion. So everyone can be excited about this.”
However, Yoo Ah In stated that he originally worried about the production. “I questioned if what I’m showing is actually real,” said Yoo Ah In. “Is showing 100% of myself real and showing only 50% not? I tried my best to show the most of myself in the show. And I also had much opportunity to think about myself. Please enjoy the show.”
Mnet ‘Yoo Ah In’s Launch My Life’ airs on the 24th at 11 pm.
