The six-foot heartthrob has a long list of movies and dramas, but we have decided to put his best work here.

Train to Busan

Train to Busan was South Korea's first zombie blockbuster, and it made Gong Yoo, an international cinema star after its debut in 2016. He plays a divorced father stranded on a train with his daughter during a zombie outbreak and must save himself and his kid. Train to Busan is an intense and distinctly Korean zombie thriller that will make you scream, laugh, and cry in just two hours (make sure you have plenty of tissues). In interviews, Gong Yoo confessed that he was terrified of the zombie actors while filming, which likely contributed to his believable performance.
