Yoo Ah In "rebellious" for 'High Cut' + addresses criticism

In his latest photoshoot with "High Cut" magazine, actor Yoo Ah In spoke up about the criticism his personality has been receiving lately. He's currently starring in his own reality program through Mnet, "Yoo Ah In's Launch My Life," and has been earning quite the response since it began airing. Most of the viewers' opinions are divided, with some thinking that it's "fresh and fun," while others expressed their distaste with his attitude and personality. Yoo Ah In clarified, "I knew that I'd get hate for it. There are some that say, 'Yoo Ah In has no manners,' 'He doesn't seem like he thinks,' and 'His personality is so dirty.' On the contrary, there are also those that say, 'Wow, he's really refreshing,' and 'He's so honest.' As for me, I think the division in the response is actually quite fun." At the mention of others criticizing the show itself for its "sloppy editing," he replied, "There is no script for the show at all. It's as real as a reality program can get, and I'm determined to show myself as who I really am in an effort to really launch my life." But why did he allow himself to show such an attitude on-screen? His reply was simple, in that he merely wanted to break the image people enclosed him in. "There's a stereotype that male actors must always be cool and caring. I wanted to break that image because I hate being forced into something so restricting. I want to give people that think they know everything about a person through just one side something to think about by turning the table on them." To follow the content of the interview, the photoshoot was done under the concept of 'rebellious Ah In', a befitting theme for his eccentric personality and pretty boy looks. Despite the photoshoot taking over four hours long, he kept the staff members entertained with the variety of his poses and the on-the-spot scenarioes he would come up with with the props used on set.
