When I was young, I started acting without knowing what it really was. But as I began to learn about the profession, I wanted take responsibility and do my work well.

He confessed that actors make a lot of money for their work, but they need to have a sense of responsibility if they’re given the luxuries and extravagance that others don’t possess.
You can make a lot of money working as an actor. I believe that if you’re going to live a more luxurious and extravagant life than others who are your age, you need to take responsibility.
— Yoo Ah In
When he was younger, he didn’t understand the responsibility that came with wealth. He only focused on the materialistic happiness but now feel its what holds him back from being free.
Back then, I felt like a rich person if I had a lot of shoes. I used to buy all of the hottest shoes, collect them, line them up, and I used to get excited feeling rich.
But now I don’t have that feeling at all. It started to feel like shackles holding me back.
— Yoo Ah In
After learning that money and wealth isn’t everything, he’s trying to figure out how he can give back to society and how he should live out the rest of his life with the blessings that he’s been given.
Now, I wonder how I should empty them, throw them away, or share them. I wonder what I need pursue in life and what needs to be my driving force.
I’ve been wondering about that a lot these days.
