Yoo Seung-ho's daily life changed after playing the role of a gay man with AIDS

Yoo Seung-ho, who played the role of a homosexual with AIDS in a theater production, revealed how he changed his appearance for the character.

On the 6th, a video titled "Go in a car with the handsome Yoo Seung-ho" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'VIVO TV - Vivo TV'. On this day, Yoo Seung-ho, who appears in the play 'Angels in America', appeared as a guest and talked with Song Eun-i about various topics.

Song Eun-i embarrassed Yoo Seung-ho, who chose Jung Woo-sung as his ideal type, by saying, "I dated you for a while." Song Eun-i said, "Jung Woo-sung appeared on the 'Welcome - Guardian' episode. That day, Jung Woo-sung bought me a meal. I gave him a side dish and said, 'If you eat this, you'll be dating me,' and as he ate it, he said, 'Sure.'"

Yoo Seung-ho made people laugh by saying, “I thought it was real and thought about whether I should turn off the camera.” Song Eun-i said, “I feel good that you thought it was real, even if only for a moment.”

When asked if he grew his hair out because of theater, Yoo Seung-ho replied, "There's something like that." Yoo Seung-ho said, "Actors are usually like that. When they don't have any work to do, they train themselves a little. Because they don't know what role they will play or what they will do. I also trained without thinking, but this play I finished is a colorful character with a bright personality. I can use my brain well. “I raised it because I thought I could do it,” he explained.

Yoo Seung-ho introduced the play he is appearing in. “I appear as a homosexual with AIDS,” he said, showing off his fingernails covered in black nail polish. Yoo Seung-ho said, "I tried it after receiving a recommendation from the director. It's a story about minorities in the 1980s in America. He advised me that it would help me act if I felt the gaze they felt in their daily lives. I don't usually wear accessories. “I’m doing it because of the character,” he said. He added, "I usually don't use my hands much when I talk, but I'm trying to make bigger gestures when I talk."

When asked how he spends his free time, Yoo Seung-ho replied, "I like being at home with my two cats. I don't really enjoy being active outside." Regarding his hobby of photography, he said, "I've already bought everything. Now I don't do it as much as I used to." He continued, “My most recent hobby was boxing, but I can’t go out these days because I don’t have time to practice for a play.”
