RYU HYE YOUNG 🌟 | Korean Actors 200

Ryu Hye Young is an actor who has been on the ‘elite’ path. She went to an art high school, and when she was a sophomore in 2008, she debuted with the short film High School Girls (2007), enjoying the film world at an early age. While majoring in film in college, Ryu appeared in the play Dr. Irabu and expanded her career by joining several short films such as Immature (2011) directed by Yang Ikjoon, and Love, 100℃ (2010) directed by Kim-Jho Gwangsoo. Ryu’s first feature-length independent film, INGtoogi: The Battle of Surpluses (2013), marked her career’s turning point.

There was another director who was fascinated by Ryu Hye Young through INGtoogi (2013). It was Shin Wonho, one of the most successful producers in the TV drama world. At first, he noticed Ryu, saying, “Who is that strange girl?” Shin cast Ryu for TV series Reply 1988 (2015), the third version of Reply which produced a lot of new stars. Ryu Hye Young made sure that her presence was felt through Reply 1988 which gave birth to stars such as Park Bogum and Ryu Junyeol.

The steady step-by-step journey of her entering the art high school, majoring in films, appearing in short films to popular dramas is a big asset Ryu Hye Young has. Having a brief period of voluntary rest after The Mayor (2016), where she worked with Choi Minsik, Ryu resumed her acting career with the TV drama series Eun Joo’s Room in 2018. Ryu Hye Young is gradually expanding her scope as an actor, with her next film Law School (2021) on the line.

I remember reading about Kim-Jho Gwangsoo, one of the few openly gay director credited on making the first ‘real’ korean gay feature film, and then realized it was lee je hoon who played lead in one of his other movies, and i remember this one article where they were like wow lee je hoon is such a big star now what did you think about him when you first casted him and im paraphrasing here but basically he just said ‘I’m gay, i know an artist when i see one. and lee je hoon just has IT’

Lee Hong-nae 'strong eyes'

"That gay marriage isn't legally recognized in South Korea... Right? Just asking cause the amount of gay couples that are married are quite... surprising." Kim Jho Gwangsoo symbolically married his long-term partner. It's not legal because they have a long way to go. But muses can still refer to their partners as spouses. It's just nothing on paper.
