INTERESTING FACTS:
Gong Yoo started out as a VJ on MNet back in 2001. He was still using his real name then. At that time, somebody suggested that he drop Gong from his screen name which he declined because he wants to keep his family name. Gong Yoo, his current screen name, was chosen by him and is a fusion of his parents’ last names (Gong is his dad’s last name. While Yoo is his mom’s last name).

He was nicknamed Kkong, which literally means small head, because as a child he had a relatively small head compared to his body.

LATEST NEWS:
Gong Yoo is set to serve his 2-year mandatory military service starting October 2007.

Military Service:
Actor Gong Yoo is slated for conscription this October, joining the ranks of men, famous and unknown, who have served their country for 24 months or 2 years. According to the Office of Military Manpower Administration, Gong, 28, will serve at a station in Uijeongbu-dong, Gyeonggi, starting Oct. 9. He will undergo the six weeks of bootcamp required for new conscripts. He said previously that he would enter service after completing his current mini-series in which he costars with singer-turned-actress Yoon Eun-hye. However, his label, sidusHQ, said Gong hasn't formally received an enlistment warrant but it was likely he would serve later this year.
