Yoo Yeon Seok’s portrayal of Baek Sa Eon in When the Phone Rings is just brilliant! He perfectly captures the complexity of a man torn between his public persona and personal struggles.

[@KScoop_official]

Absolutely! Yoo Yeon Seok is killing it as Baek Sa Eon in When the Phone Rings!

I'm on my second watch of this brilliant series YYS, os my fave kdrama actor.

[@denisemckinney3973]

Can we blame these celebrities for trying to keep their lives private? Fans should leave them alone. They are real people who deserve their privacy.

[@SylviaMakakona]

Be kind to the actor. People are just jealous and trying ruin someone. Be strong and stay positive and be safe and be happy. Your wonderful on “WHEN THE PHONE RING”🥰

[@army-bi7px]

Currently watching his drama when the phone rings....im hooked❤❤❤

I wouldn’t call that a controversial life. I’d call it anything but controversial.

[@KScoop_official]

I get where you're coming from! The title is meant to highlight the intriguing aspects of Yoo Yeon Seok’s life and career-moments that sparked conversation or stood out. It’s all about showing how those moments shaped the amazing actor we admire today!

[@SylviaMakakona]

His so sweet. Very quiet and gentle. Congratulations on your pursuit and more. 🥰💚💙💜🤙🏼👋🙏

[@whitephoenix1513]

Smart move of YYS not to Make comments regarding the False allegation and let his Agency handle this. Obviously there are people in Korea that out of Spite and jealousy can Make base less and False accusations Just to gain notice. They are so desperate for attention that they resort to destroying one’s reputation Just to Make their existence valid.

[@KScoop_official]

Totally agree! YYS staying quiet and letting his agency handle things was definitely the right call. Some people will do anything for attention, even if it means dragging someone else down with false accusations. It’s sad, but I’m glad he’s rising above it all!

[@antheaphilander55]

Loving When the phone rings and love him as an actor too, especially in Dr Romantic and Hospital Playlist. WTPR is now my personal favorite of his shows💕The emotional tension is fabulous!

[@KScoop_official]

I totally agree! When the Phone Rings has definitely become a standout, and Yoo Yeon Seok’s performance is just incredible.

[@lauriemcclain5605]

Mr. Sunshine was previously my favorite of his, but When The Phone Rings was just outstanding!

[@twinkletunes4523]

i loved him when he was playing goo dong mae in mr sunshine . He was unforgettable

[@cathybaggott2873]

It seems absolutely ridiculous to a westerner that an actor's career should be jeopardised because one person complained that, "Hey, he was rude to my dad once."

[@IshitaSehgal-he4rr]

Yoo yeon seok’s hotness is blinding me to the fact that the lead is a million red flags!

[@KScoop_official]

Right?! 😂 Yoo Yeon Seok’s got me so mesmerized, I’m ignoring all the 🚩🚩. Hotness like that should be illegal, lol!

[@left4breads]

Well, if you read the manhwa, you'll see there is no red flags in the character! It's just that the kdrama doesn't explain things as much as the manhwa does. But the character will prob make more sense as the show goes on.

[@Anonymous-rb2tm]

Yoo yeon seaok acting is outstanding...i became a fangirl of him..

That story sounded like BS for real. Who in real life would quit their livelihood over a bicycle comment.

[@zh2716]

Koreans can be dramatic😂 also if he did quit, i would say the security guard was very egoistic to not tolerate such incidents at his workplace like every workplace have people whose not gonna be polite to you all the time..

I love all his work art but My favourite drama is: Interest of love 💕 Love him from Morocco ❤🇲🇦

Just because he popular and well love by fan that doesn’t mean he innocent some time star get away with bad behavior why the guard quite his job ?

[@aasthajain-tb5tx]

While it's true that fame shouldn't shield accountability, assuming guily without evidence is unfair. Everyone deserves a fair investigation before juping to conclusions.

[@ellasy825]

I love this guy and Jin of BTS😊For me,they look alike.

[@FLOSSYTREADWELL]

OMG even if he had given that response to the security guard so what. The guard shouldn't have aimed his question at Yoo personally. that was insulting for a start. He should have sued the guard for singling him out and implying the abandoned bicycle was his. A security guard leaves his job because his insulting question was laughed at... ah poor baby making him so embarrassed he felt he had to leave his job. This is typical of lowlives trying to make money from those they believe have plenty. It's a form of fraud and that should be suspected and the complainants investigated. OMG 'again' he had dinner meetings with someone of the opposite sex, SO WHAT! Even if they did have a relationship with benefits whose business is that. I hope he doesn't dine out with a male friend because I suppose then he'll be labelled as gay! Keep news about celebs positive & from a distance. Unless they do something unforgivable with purposeful intent just let them be. Bad press can ruin careers & some of us thrive on that unfortunately. I'm glad I'm not one of them.

He is seen in an interview showing misogyny behavior so there is that. Just search for his name and misogyny and you can find the video where he tells his costar that how she dresses is why she is still single and women who wear see through dresses with hm mean they are interested. Good actor though.
