He is a versatile actor. - Hwang In Youp has indeed many facets as an actor. His ability to switch from a bad boy image to an ultimately sweet guy is perhaps one of the factors behind his immense popularity and stardom. His take on his character Han Seo-jun on “True Beauty” is testament to his raw talent, and the depth of his acting chops was also showcased in “Why Her.” He can snag the viewers’ hearts in a blink with a smile that always extends to his eyes. @hi_high_hiy
He has a cool sense of style. - With all his wardrobe choices, it is crystal-clear that Hwang In Youp’s sense of style doesn’t disappoint. Prior to his acting career, he also mentioned that he is into fashion and wanted to be part of the industry. He even took Fashion Design in college way back, and dresses in stylish outfits religiously—be it in casual or formal attire. With his background in modeling, it’s no wonder, too, that brands, like French luxury fashion house Dior, have tapped him as their ambassador.@hi_high_hiy
He is the reserved type, and that’s one of the charming things about him. - While his role on “True Beauty” showed otherwise, Hwang In-youp is actually an introvert by nature. In real life, he is quite shy and quiet, but also confident and self-aware all the same. Fans find charm in the way he behaves in interviews and interacts with the public. In one of his interviews, he revealed that one of the reasons he didn’t want to be in entertainment was because he prefers to keep things in private as much as he could.@keyeast_official
He is a total gentleman. - Many of Hwang In-youp's fellow celebrities would always put in a good word for the actor. In fact, his 'True Beauty' co-star, Moon Ga-young, revealed in an interview that In Youp would usually cover her in his clothes whenever she would trip or fall. Ga Young often wore short skirts during tapings, and In Youp always came to the rescue in case of any wardrobe malfunctions in the set. Awww!@keyeast_official
He is sporty (and he looks so good in a basketball jersey). - Another adorable fact about Hwang In-youp is his being sporty. He loves basketball, and even posted a snap of himself dribbling on his ’gram. tvN
He goes over and beyond what is required of him for his roles. - He acquired a driving license to do justice to his character Han Seo-jun on “True Beauty.” He even practiced on big bikes for the show! Talk about dedication for his craft! Who else thinks that he is nothing short of perfect whenever he would ride the motorcycle and be the handsome rough rider that he already is? @hi_high_hiy
He can effortlessly pull off a mullet haircut. - The mullet is making a comeback in today’s era and as one of Asia’s beauty centers, South Korea is no stranger to the fashion statement. Not everybody can sport one, though, but Hwang In-youp looks good in every angle with this hairstyle. His crowning glory also complements his small yet edgy face, making him look more swoon-worthy.@keyeast_official
He is a big Pokémon fan! - He’s gotta catch ’em all, fellas! You may have not heard of it before, but this oppa is a huge admirer of the 90s Japanese anime franchise. He even named several characters in one of his interviews and posted a Pikachu stuffed toy on his Instagram. In his post, the doll was seated in a vehicle with the seat belt buckled up around it. What a glimpse of his playful side!@hi_high_hiy
He has a good speaking and singing voice. - More than his good looks, Hwang In-youp also has an impressive diction and a deep voice that can soothe one’s ears. Apart from his knack for acting, he can also lull us down to sleep with his singing. We heard him sing on “18 Again” and “True Beauty,” and his performances on both series are proof that he can sing well. (Hey, go attend his fan meeting in Manila, and see him perform live on stage!)@hi_high_hiy
He loves the Philippines. - Hwang In-youp lived in the Philippines for about four years, when he was studying and taking up Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Philippines, majoring in Fashion Design years back. He spent his academic life at the Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai International School in Davao and graduated in 2012. He has a special connection with the Philippines, that’s why Filipinos love him back. And thankfully, he’s coming back to Manila to create more fun memories with his dearest fans. @hi_high_hiy
