He starred in one of the most well-known Korean films -- a big zombie post-apocalypse -- directed by Yeon Sang-Ho called Train to Busan.The film is also available to stream on Netflix. Another globally popular work of the actor includes his K-Drama titled Goblin: The Lonely and Great God. In it, he starred opposite Kim Go Eun. The supernatural drama saw Gong Yoo play the role of a goblin. The show also did huge wonders for the popularity of another Hallyu actor, Lee Dong Wook.But fans' anger at the media outlet is understandable. Fans also pointed out that the actor is not new or upcoming, but a famous one back home. They did not appreciate the indifferent manner in which he was addressed in the media.The Silent Sea, also starring Bae Doo Na, is a space drama directed by Choi Hang Yong and is scheduled to release on Netflix on December 24.
