Being a top star is rough. One needs determination and drive to pursue his or her dreams just like these South Korean actors who followed their desire to become an actor despite their parents' disapproval.

There's no denying that Yoo Hae Jin is one of the most versatile stars in Hallyu, however, just like Choi Woo Shik and Ahn Hyo Seop, his parents were against his decision of becoming an actor.
"At that time, they were the most handsome boys. They said that actors should be pretty boys. My friends teased me a lot," he tells Yoo Jae Suk during his appearance in "You Quiz on the Block."
Meanwhile, his parents think that acting is not a stable job and will only have a difficult life if he turns out to be unsuccessful.
Despite this, he pursued his dreams and said to his father that he wanted to act. Seeing his determination, Yoo Hae Jin's father was convinced that it was what his son wanted and gave him his blessings.
