Yoo Su-bin (Korean: 유수빈; born November 6, 1992) is a South Korean actor. He is primarily known for his role as Choi Hyo-Man in Weak Hero Class 2.[2]

Career

Yoo made his drama debut in Prison Playbook in 2017, as Yang Jung-suk, who was involved in the back story of Jung Hae-in's character Yoo Jeong-woo.[2]

In 2019, he had a major supporting role in the short film The Present. However, it was his role as a North Korean soldier obsessed with South Korean dramas in the drama Crash Landing on You that made a surprising impact. Besides his amusing characterization, he also received strong praise from North Korean defectors who were impressed with his accent.[citation needed]

Personal life

Yoo is the younger brother of director Yoo Soo-min, who directed Weak Hero Class 1, and Yoo also made a cameo appearance for his older brother.[3]
