Comments

Jane Mar 21 2024 1:40 pm This actor deserves more roles, his acting is impressive and he's totally immersed in any role he's given. He's not a pretty boy type so they always cast him in dark dramas, would love to see him in lighter dramas.

Sharon Jan 28 2024 9:32 am Love his acting skills and his look. Really enjoy viewing his work.

edward Dec 01 2023 3:15 pm just finished save me 2. wow. absolutely nailed his character. perfect performance.

Henry Lyman Nov 29 2023 8:01 pm Love your character in Save Me 2. Your overall verbal command and overall Fear you put into your Wooo's,,,, Screams,,,, Loudness

momo Oct 22 2023 3:25 pm oh my god, his husky voice. im in love, rewatched the film just to hear him ahhhhhhh, he's so charismatic, and handsome.

Xander Sep 16 2023 2:27 pm First time I heard his voice in night in paradise ?

Yu Aug 20 2023 10:01 am New project with han sunhwa playing girl ..romance drama..so excited

June Jan 09 2023 2:51 am Back here again as the fresh start of new year 2023, because I miss this man?pls have new project on screen soon ?

Amira Jun 01 2022 4:18 am I just watch Night in Paradise.. Taegoo oppa jinjjaaaaaa, waaa, undescribeable... love at first sight!! Very exciting to wait next project. I hope oppa will staring at romance action crime :))) and i amazed with oppa in real life, very different in dramaa.. how can oppa became so charismatic in movie or drama but so shy and introvert person in real life, so cutee!! Oppa fightingggg! saranghaeyooo!! always support u in future!!

Caroline Nov 28 2021 9:06 am What can I say ? It was love at first sight with Um Tae-goo … Saw him (and heard him) in “Night in Paradise”. He had me at “Annyeonghaseyo”. Leaving all that aside : he is a super-talented actor !!

ryuka Oct 09 2021 7:48 am I can't sleep because his husky voice. i mean his voice is so eargasm T_T. and how can he play role like Hashimoto and then his personality was like fluffy cinnamon roll. i hope he got a famous film like the age of shadow but become male lead. I think it is my hobby to stanning underrated person T_T

Ross Oct 03 2021 11:00 am I first noticed him in Veteran. He had a supporting role then but the sparring scene with Yoo Ah In made me think he'd be perfect as a lead in an action film. He doesn't have the "conventional" handsome face but he's still very handsome and his overall "aura" is very appealing. I'm glad he finally had a big role in Night in Paradise. He's a very good actor and he looks like he has a lot of range. He has a generally kind face but his look in Vanishing Time convinced me that he could also play a psycho.

Ryan G Sep 26 2021 2:22 pm My future husband. I first saw him in "Night in Paradise" I can't wait to see his other films.

Idil Aug 03 2021 3:21 am Uhm Taegoo is the best actor 2021. Taegoo deserves more and I hope he will resev so much love ? in the 2021

Eloise Jun 12 2021 9:47 pm Woah i spent my time scrolling thru the comments below and i can't agree with you guys more. Uhm Taegoo really is one of a kind actor and i also think he deserves more spotlight. Sometimes i wonder why he's not an A-List actor yet. With his superb acting, he should've been one of them rn :(

I also wanna see him in a romance drama :( romcom would be really nice haha. His chemistry with the female costars in Trivial Matters and Save Me 2 is so good and cute :( I hope after Hometown you'll get a romance project, with my fav actress i hope haha.

I think he's already pretty known in SK, but I hope this year, 2021, he will gain more success and recognition, nationally and internationally. I'm rooting for you, actor Uhm Tae Goo!

abara Jun 12 2021 9:25 pm discovered him from night in paradise and ended up watching his previous projects. his acting is superb. i paused and repeated almost every scenes he's in. can't wait to watch hometown! i hope the filming goes really well and i hope hometown will have a lot promotion like night in paradise lol. i also hope it will air on netflix. can't wait to see the bts of the filming on ocn's youtube channel lol. actor uhm tae goo, fighting!

girlygirl9983 May 11 2021 6:21 pm 2 words to describe this beautiful chiseled but adorable & manly face, husky deep voice, shy/introverted real life personality, & stellar acting performance................ Highly Underrated (Main Role worthy & nothing less). 1st time seeing him was in Age of Shadows then I was completely sold with Save Me 2 + Night in Paradise + House on Wheels (variety show). I really want to see him play a character in a series that shows off his shy/introverted/funny personality that I see in interviews, etc. AND a really dramatic melodrama haha like "Kill Me, Heal Me" or "Just Between Lovers" vibes.

Emmasshi May 06 2021 9:38 pm I was also shocked that his character and his attitude on real life was so different! He is so shy, so introverted person. How come he's a gangster here? Very good actor! Very underrated.

Emmasshi May 06 2021 9:36 pm First time to watch both him and Jeon Yeo-Bin on Night in Paradise. It was a splendid thriller movie, so gore and dark, but it was excellent! I didn't notice his voice when acting, just knew it on some comments I've read. He and female lead have chemistry! Like to see them both again on a series. The female lead's swag on that restaurant scene though. So cool!

Toofat Apr 28 2021 10:34 pm I fall for his voice...

PANDORA Apr 17 2021 8:13 pm He’s seriously stunning, what a face. Also his voice is everything, it’s so deep, a low whisper. what a combo of a man.

Nufaa Apr 12 2021 12:53 am I love his voice. Actor uhm tae goo fighting

Lola Apr 10 2021 6:33 pm One best actor for me .. excellent action star.

Savindy Feb 17 2021 12:54 pm My first time taking the time to/bothering to leave a comment for a kdrama/movie actor. Saw him first in Save Me 2, and I was smitten. I had to immediately google him and watch other shows/movies he was in. He deserves to be in the spotlight so much. He is not one of those mainstream actors. Everything about him is so unique and he makes you watch him so intensely !! His looks, voice, physique is just not something you see in everyday shows/movies. I guess that is why he is such a gem.

I am not sure if you will ever see this. But YOU ROCK!!!! One of my absolute favorite actors!!!! - Savi (Sri Lanka) <3

Edith Feb 13 2021 11:25 pm I very rarely like villains in films, but you sir changed my mind. I love a man with chiseled features. Keep up the good work!

Nicole Jan 18 2021 2:31 pm Tae Goo is so talented. I love his voice and his personality so much. The way how he acting is fansinatic, he delivers all his characters so well that makes him such an amazing actor.

Irina Jan 15 2021 7:55 pm I saw Save me 2 and he impressed me from the first time I saw. I became his fan so fast. His acting skills are so good 10/10 besides this his voice is so unique and so deep beautiful and he's so handsome. His personality is incredible let's not talk about how charismatic he is. I have only good words for him because he is so talented. After I saw him in that drama, how good he played his character ot made me to say that now he is my favorite actor . All of my respects. I will support him and I will always look forward to his future works. I wish more people to discover him and to acknowledge how talented he is. I can wait to see him in a main role again , because he only deserves to play as the main actor. His acting skills are the proof . I wish him all the luck in the world and health. I wnat him to be cast more in a lead roles. I love and respect him so much.

Patrick Lim Aug 30 2020 12:09 am I watched your guest appearance in House On Wheels and noticed that you're too quiet and shy.

Squark team Aug 27 2020 6:11 am Wowww daebak! I love his personality. Wait the new drama/film. Hope can see u with go joon/kwon sang woo in comedy action filmm

Jooooojiiiii Aug 16 2020 4:24 pm I think he suit the role of a cray cray or a psychopath. Like, al pacino on scarface or christian bale on american psycho.

Koreanloverrr Aug 08 2020 7:37 am Awwww I love him on House on wheels. I can’t believe he is shy. So dhy and always anxious. Awww Uhm Tae Goo shi ❤️❤️?. He is even having the same name as Yeo Jin Gu younger brother ❤️?. I am your new fan

duna Jun 15 2019 12:53 pm He has a sexy voice. DAMN

Tanya Jun 13 2019 7:03 am Um Tae Goo's acting in Save Me 2 is phenomenal, it's not something you would see from other actors who get to have a tough guy's role in a drama. I was deeply moved by his unique and terrifying aura. Although SM2 has not released all the episodes just yet, UTG has already killed it in my opinion.

Lizzy Bennett May 24 2019 9:48 am Promising actor His husky voice is super sexy Rock your role in SM2 and win awards Salanghaye oppa❤
