Known for his versatility, Yoo Ji Tae stole the spotlight when he starred in Netflix's "Money Heist: Korea," taking on the role of the professor.

He then continues to capture the attention of viewers by playing unconventional roles, which include his character in "Villains" and his latest K-drama, "Vigilante."

Since the series is webtoon-based, he wanted to look a lot like his character, and to do this, he gained 20 kg. Among his preparations are intense workouts and a diet.

According to the actor, he "had trouble doing quick movements during action scenes" because of his weight gain.

Yoo Ji Tae's bulked-up physique was also evident not only in the K-drama but also in how people would react around him.

"Some people were looking at me when I walked across the street. I think they might have felt threatened by my presence. I became so big that I had to tilt my body to get into a room."
