As someone who has not watched any Korean drama in years, I think I can be forgiven for not knowing who Yoo Ah-in is.
I only discovered who he was when my friend Jaz starred in a movie with him. She played Yoo’s Pinay mother in Wandeugi (Punch), and very well, I might add! She’s a great actress and I am so happy that a Filipina is making it big back in Seoul.
Lucky for me, when I visited Seoul last November, Wandeugi was still showing.
Even luckier, Jaz managed to wangle a brief photo opp with Yoo after one of their meet-and-greets. It was nice to meet Yoo and the other stars,
Yoo was cute after all, in a boyish and charming way. Hard to believe he’s in his mid-20s!
I have long stopped being K-pop-struck, but it’s still a thrill to meet a rising young star like Yoo.
PS. Wandeugi is one of the biggest hits of 2011 in Korea!
