Recently, Korean actor Gong Yoo and many Asian stars such as J-Hope (BTS), Chu Nhat Long, Vuong Hac De, Jackson Wang, Bam Bam attended the Louis Vuitton show, within the framework of Paris Men's Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025.
This is the first international Louis Vuitton show that Gong Yoo has appeared in as the new brand ambassador. The star born in 1979 was announced to become the ambassador for the French fashion house from June 25, 2024.
At this show, Gong Yoo scored points when combining a dark brown plaid blazer, wide-leg trousers and a romantic mullet hairstyle. At the age of 45, Gong Yoo is praised for being more and more stylish and attractive.
Not only impressing with his fashion style, the Korean actor also made fans excited when he performed an action related to the movie "Squid Game 2" in which he participated.
On the way to the show, while waving to the audience, Gong Yoo suddenly formed his hand into a gun and recreated the scene where the recruiter character points a gun to his head while playing “Russian roulette” in “Squid Game 2”. The images and videos of him performing this action went viral on social media.
Just like part 1, in "Squid Game 2" Gong Yoo still takes on a guest role, which is a salesman in disguise to recruit contestants for the game.
With more screen time in part 2, Gong Yoo made the global audience go crazy even though he only appeared in the first episode. The actor was praised for his "superb acting" when he successfully portrayed the multi-dimensionality of the character.
On the outside, he wears a luxurious suit and always has a polite smile. But that is just the cover of a madman, cruel, finding joy in the suffering of others.
The scene where Gong Yoo asks Lee Jung Jae (playing Gi Hun) to play “Russian roulette” with excitement mixed with defiance caused a storm when the film was released. To play this game of chance with Gi Hun, he was willing to point a gun at his own head while still laughing happily.
Gong Yoo's crazy eyes and expressions as if he was "hunting for prey" made many viewers shudder, calling him the "Korean Joker". This video has nearly reached 7 million views on YouTube after 3 weeks of posting.
After “Squid Game 2”, Gong Yoo is currently filming the new drama “Slowly and Intensely” with Song Hye Kyo. The work was written by famous screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung - the “mother” of famous Korean dramas such as “That Winter, the Wind Blows”, “It's Okay That's Love”, “Dear My Friends”, “Our Blues”...
According to Korean media, “Slowly and Intensely” has a production budget of up to 80 billion won and is currently in negotiations to be released on Netflix as a 22-episode series.
