Additional Profile
This is a translation from a handwritten profile taken from YOO&I, probably dated back in 2001. I know it's a bit old, but still it's about Gong Yoo. Since it's handwritten, some of the words are not very clear making it hard for translation, so some of the information might be missing. But most of the things are there.
