Born in 1997, 26 years old, with a 17 year acting career. Yeo Jin-goo, who started as a child actor, already stood shoulder to shoulder with respected senior actors like Kim Yoon-seok and Cho Jin-woong in the film ‘Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ (2013), directed by Jang Joon-hwan when he was in middle school. Many have witnessed his growth as he transitioned from a boy to a young man, actively traversing both the big screen and television with his vibrant presence and warm smile. Now he seeks to captivate the audience dressed appropriately as “a college student experiencing first love in his 20s.” In the remake of the iconic late-90s youth romance film ‘Ditto’ (2000), we meet Yeo Jin-goo who steps into the middle of his youth. He completely immerses into shooting with a manual camera, has a genuine passion for food and cooking, and we hear him say his fiery love is still to come.
“I remember it as a movie that warms the heart.” Yeo Jin-goo proudly considers himself a fan of the iconic youth romance film ‘Ditto’ (2000). At one point he was obsessed with Korean romance films from the 1990s and 2000s, and the ‘Ditto’ he watched at the time was a warm film with romance, unexpected twists, and vibrant colors. Thanks to his love for the original film, he was thrilled to receive an offer for the remake, and upon receiving and reading the script, he reminisces that it was indeed wonderful.
In anticipation of the movie’s release, prominent figures such as Ju Ji-hoon, SHINee’s Minho, and Im Si-wan attended the VIP premiere and showed their generous support.
“It feels like I’ve gone back to my 20s after watching the movie.” This is the statement that Yeo Jin-goo, who hoped to evoke nostalgia, wanted to hear the most. On the one hand, he received a considerable amount of congratulations for leaving behind such a youth romance film in his 20s.
In the remake of ‘Ditto’, Yeo Jin-goo portrays a character named ‘Yong’, a student from the Class of ’95 who lives in the year 1999. He becomes miraculously connected to ‘Mu-nee’ (played by Cho Yi-hyun), a student from the Class of ’21 who lives in the year 2022, through an old radio. In this adaptation, not only did the gender of the role originally played by Kim Ha-neul change, the character’s personality has also become brighter.
“The director wanted Yong to be an ordinary guy. Rather than having clear dreams or goals, he is someone who goes with the flow of his surroundings and society. He loves literature and wants to write, but due to the suggestion of adults, he becomes an engineering student to pursue a science degree.” Yong’s wardrobe and hair are styled to appear as plain and understated as possible, like jeans and t-shirts. He’s styled to naturally blend into the temporal background of 1999.
