Yoo Ah In Signs With BILLIONS As Agency Addresses His Past And Acting Comeback

On August 21, BILLIONS announced that it had signed an exclusive contract with Yoo Ah In. The agency also shared the following statement:

Entertainment company BILLIONS has signed an exclusive contract with actor Yoo Ah In on August 21, 2026.

BILLIONS is fully aware of the concerns surrounding Yoo Ah In following his past case and recent resumption of activities. Before entering into the contract, the company held multiple in-depth discussions with Yoo Ah In over an extended period, carefully considering the responsibilities and attitude required for him to resume his career as an actor, as well as the direction he should take moving forward.

After this cautious and thorough process, BILLIONS decided to accompany Yoo Ah In on his new beginning.

What Yoo Ah In valued most during the contract process was not better terms or superficial support for simply resuming his activities, but a sincere partner who would carefully navigate each step of the difficult and sensitive process of seeking the public’s forgiveness and understanding and rebuilding their trust. He wanted a partner who could seriously accompany him through the long and challenging journey of standing again as an entirely new actor, rather than simply continuing from his past. BILLIONS shares this sentiment and intends to support him from a long-term perspective, without rushing, so that he can take responsibility for his actions and build an entirely new relationship of trust with the public.

Going forward, BILLIONS will carefully manage all aspects of Yoo Ah In’s activities while providing a stable environment in which he can continue working in a healthy and consistent manner. The company will also provide its full support so that he can focus entirely on his responsibilities as an actor.

We will not take his past lightly or attempt to move past it hastily. We understand that deeply reflecting on the past and having a sincere attitude are essential to regaining trust. BILLIONS will be a responsible partner as Yoo Ah In honestly works to forge his own path once again.

We take the current concerns very seriously and will humbly listen to criticism from the public and media while approaching any necessary communication with sincerity and humility. Alongside reflecting on his past mistakes, we will work carefully and diligently to ensure that his genuine commitment to his craft and acting can be conveyed through his actions and work in the future.

With this, BILLIONS respectfully announces Yoo Ah In’s new beginning. We ask that you continue to watch over his journey.

Thank you.

Yoo Ah In was recently confirmed to make his acting comeback in “Vampir” (literal title), a new film directed by “Exhuma” director Jang Jae Hyun.

Yoo Ah In, Lee Sung Min, And Yoon Kyung Ho In Talks For New Vampire Film By “Exhuma” Director

Yoo Ah In may be returning to the big screen with a new film.

On July 3, MyDaily reported that Yoo Ah In has been confirmed to star in the upcoming film “Vampire” (working title).

“Vampire” is the latest project from director Jang Jae Hyun, who successfully established himself as a leading filmmaker in the occult genre with “The Priests,” “Svaha: The Sixth Finger,” and “Exhuma.” The film follows a vampire hunter, a priest, and the people whose lives become intertwined with theirs as they pursue vampires. The large-scale production is also said to feature several major Russian characters alongside its Korean cast.

Yoo Ah In will reportedly play a vampire hunter, while Lee Sung Min has reportedly been cast as a priest. Yoon Kyung Ho is also said to have joined the lineup.

Responding to the report, a representative from the film’s investor and distributor NEW said, “Nothing has been confirmed yet.” The representative added, “We are currently coordinating with various actors, including those who have been mentioned. We will share more once the cast is finalized,” taking a cautious stance on the report.

Previously, in December 2025, when reports claimed that Yoo Ah In had been cast in “Vampire,” director Jang Jae Hyun denied the speculation, saying it was “completely untrue.” He explained that the script had not yet been completed and, although he had recently reached out to Yoo Ah In to check on how he was doing, he had never officially offered him a role in the project.

If confirmed, “Vampire” would mark Yoo Ah In’s first new acting project in approximately four years, following the hiatus he took after becoming embroiled in drug-related charges in 2022.

“Vampire” is expected to begin pre-production soon, with filming tentatively scheduled to start as early as October.
