 Some are fascinated with his perfect body. Everyone who meets him talks about his eyes -- small but deep, sparkling with a powerful aura.Actor Yoo Ji-tae(31) is both calm and passionate. Yoo, one of the nation's top stars, is working in a small theater while his colleagues appear on TV. His quiet but logical words are his trademark. As soon as he finished shooting the movie "Hwangjin-y - Movie - 2007" about a Chosun-era gisaeng (a female entertainer) with actress Song Hye-kyo, Yoo chose to work on the stage. His movie career is different from that of other screen stars. Yes, he is the celebrity star who appeared in the hit movie "Old Boy" by Park Chan-wook. But Yoo produces and directs his own films -- unprofitable short ones. He also established a theater to put on one play a year. Almost all the money for the theatrical productions comes from his own wallet. "Producing a short film or a play can feel masochistic. I'm always unsatisfied with my work and complain about myself...| More | |||||||||

 By Chung Ah-youngStaff Reporter Top-rated actor Yoo Ji-tae has a strong presence in major local films such as "Attack the Gas Station", "Ditto" and is probably best known for his role as an antagonist in Director Park Chan-wook's "Old Boy".

Playwright Park Soo-jin wrote the script based on Yoo's draft and director Lee Ji-na will direct it.

 Yoo Ji-tae, a rising star in Korea's film and entertainment industry, returns to the stage with the experimental theatrical piece, "Welcome to Ghost House", next month. The drama, Yoo's second theatrical creation, is scheduled to hit the stage at Cecile Theater from April 10 to May 27.The 31-year-old actor and film producer wannabe said that he had chosen to create another theatrical piece to remain closer to audiences. "I can call myself a theater novice although I have already made myself known through 16 films so far. Theatrical drama, for me, is a chance to show my world and my conceptualized thoughts (directly) to audiences", said Yoo at a news conference held in Jeongdong, central Seoul, yesterday. Yoo told reporters that the drama can be seen as an experimental piece, although he and his crew try to deliver an everlasting theme: the undetectable bond between a mother and a daughter.
