KATHMANDU: He stole hearts in the drama Sungkunkwan Scandal along with winning the best couple award for the same with co-star Song Joon-ki. And with #Alive ruling Netflix, actor Yoo Ah-in is gaining recognition, albeit a little belatedly.

October will see his latest work, Voice of Silence, premiere. And what is amazing about his role in this film is that he has zero lines, according to Soompi.

It is unclear yet why Yoo’s character is unable to speak, but it is said that the challenging role led the actor towards almost complete transformation. It is reported that Yoo gained 15kg for the role as well as shaved his head.
