This is the second Netflix series that Yoo is starring in, following his role in the 2021 sci-fi show The Silent Sea. He also made a cameo appearance as a recruiter in Squid Game, which premiered in the same year. 

Yoo is best known for his roles in Coffee Prince, Train to Busan, and Guardian: The Great and Lonely God.
