Actor Yoo Ah-in has established himself as an icon for youth culture, first by appearing in the coming-of-age TV series "Sharp" (2003-2006). Then, he starred as a rebellious teen in "Punch" (2011), an ill-fated crown prince in "The Throne" (2015) and a poor farm boy in "Burning" (2018), among many others. However, the actor said that at the age of 36, he is no longer a representative of the youth and doesn't see himself as one. "As much as I try to maintain a young mindset, I would love to see younger actors take up the stage and become the new icons for the youth," Yoo said during an interview with The Korea Times held via Zoom, Monday. In the new Netflix film "Seoul Vibe," Yoo plays skillful driver Dong-wook, who is the de-facto leader of a group of young drivers and mechanics called the Sangye-dong Supreme Team.
