At the age of only 19 years old, Joo Hyuk decided to give modeling a shot by joining a contest sponsored by YG KPlus under YG Entertainment

[{ "selector": ".ddlfz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-314px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".jgkbx-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-324px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".mutnr-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-45.500000000000014px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".cnzlb-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 598px))", "opacity": "50%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "50%"} ] }]

Joo Hyuk’s experience in acting in front of cameras didn’t instantly start with the TV shows we know him for. Prior to becoming the sought-after actor he is now, he first appeared in the music videos of K-pop

[{ "selector": ".kfulm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-336px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".jplsd-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-321px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".enxja-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-42.500000000000014px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".csfrc-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 600px))", "opacity": "50%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "50%"} ] }]

Joo Hyuk kicked off his K-drama journey as Park Dae-bak, a computer genius in the 2014 romantic-comedy series The Idle Mermaid

In 2018, Joo Hyuk landed a main role for his silver screen debut, The Great Battle, a historical action film set in the late 7th century. It was also in that same year that he bagged the Best New Actor Award

[{ "selector": ".aqxxd-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-341px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".enote-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-324px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".ztdop-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-43.500000000000014px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".slgtc-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 600px))", "opacity": "50%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "50%"} ] }]

Joo Hyuk shot to even more fame after getting cast as Jung Joon-hyung in MBC’s Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo in 2016. He starred alongside Lee Sung Kyung in the coming-of-age romantic drama

[{ "selector": ".oqmcz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-336px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".mcmoz-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-325px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".jdsca-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-41.500000000000014px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".dodoz-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 600px))", "opacity": "50%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "50%"} ] }]

In 2020, Joo Hyuk left YG Entertainment to join Management SOOP, a South Korean acting agency established in 2011. This company is also home to other talents such as Gong Yoo, Choi Woo Shik, etc

[{ "selector": ".blgdg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-354px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".lsubu-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-324px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".esuwg-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-44.500000000000014px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".gtilq-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 600px))", "opacity": "50%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "50%"} ] }]
