Hello. I am actor Yoon Yeom-yeong.

I am a young man in my late 20s who loves acting very much.

But my love for acting feels like a one-sided romance.

I practice and strive every day because I love acting so much,

so why do I feel I’m not getting anywhere?

When I see my fellow actors auditioning, or colleagues working on projects, I wonder, when will it be my turn?

I compare myself to others, and when I fail auditions I blame myself a lot.

I often ask myself, was that really the best I could do? Could I have done better? INag at myself for a long time.

Yet I also take action and broaden my experiences by pushing forward one step at a time.

Not every moment of acting has been happiness. It’s not true to say every moment was bliss.

I have cried, fallen, and blamed myself many times while acting, and I can’t forget those times.

But within those times I felt a sense of belonging working alongside colleagues, and the precious moments spent focusing on the process rather than the results.

Looking back over those years, I realize I have grown, and I think I was really glad I chose to pursue acting.

For me, acting is persuasion.

I believe my job is to persuade everyone—on the set, all the staff and crew, and the audience.

What I value most is sincerity.

I believe sincerity always reaches others, even in the face of hardship and adversity.

I am actor Yoon Yeom-yeong, living with all my heart and sincerity.
