His most recent project, the Netflix series "The 8 Show," has also been well received, drawing praise for his powerful and immersive performance. With his new partnership at UAA, industry watchers are eager to see what new heights Ryu Jun-yeol will reach as an actor.
UAA currently represents leading stars such as Song Hye-kyo, Yoo Ah-in, Kim Dae-myung, Ahn Eun-jin, Kim Da-mi, and Jang Ki-yong.
