Fan-favourite and critically-acclaimed actor Yoo Ah-in stars as a cult leader in the highly-anticipated series set for a November 19 release.
While Yoo has been praised throughout his career for his acting talent, the 35-year-old is also a gifted fashionista, writer and art entrepreneur.
Here are a few ways he showed just how multitalented he is.
A fashion trendsetter
In fact, he would rather have full control over his wardrobe than hire stylists to dress him up, according to Preview magazine. “Fashion is an attitude. It is necessary to have your own sense and pleasure in fashion,” he said in the 2015 interview.
His eye for fashion even landed him a modelling gig with Diesel in 2018, making him the first Asian actor to be chosen as a global model for the Italian brand. According to Soompi, Diesel decided to collaborate with him because of his originality as an artist. As a model for the brand, he even went on to film a campaign video with international stars like Nicki Minaj, Bella Thorne and Gucci Mane.
