INTERESTING FACTS:
He 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.
