Happy birthday! Yoo Ah-in turns 39 today

Yoo Ah-in is celebrating his 39th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Yoo Ah-in (Burning, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 39th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Uhm, a cultural icon

Born Uhm Hong-sik in Daegu on October 6, 1986, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Korean history. Uhm's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Hong-sik hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yoo Ah-in as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 39.

Happy Birthday, Hong-sik, you're the best!
