"Before, what came first were my worries about what my character looked like and how to act out my role, but now, those concerns have been flipped around. Instead of those worries, I spend more time thinking about what kind of impact I can have on this project, what kind of impact my role has on the other characters, and whether my energy will be conveyed," Gong Yoo noted.

Furthermore, Gong Yoo went on to share that the overall message of a project has become incredibly important to the actor when he picks the roles that are offered to him.

Beyond this, the superstar also talked about his venture into the YouTube scene via video uploads. Since he made his way on YouTube, fans have been able to see Gong Yoo in a more sincere and natural way, to their delight. 

As per Gong Yoo, he does not have a script or format or any plans, with regards to his YouTube. He just turns on the camera in the morning and films in a stream-of-consciousness style. He said that he wants to show his true self, after all.
