Early life

He is the only child of his family, and was raised by his grandparents. At the time, while peers of his age went to kindergarten and learned English, Yoon went to seodang, a traditional school that taught Confucianism, and learned Chinese characters.[1] Yoon's unique childhood was then unveiled through his song "Grandpa's Bicycle" for Barefooted Friends.

In October 2016, Yoon was cast in a three-episode miniseries, Romance Full of Life, which is part of MBC's 9-episode miniseries, Three Color Fantasy. The drama premiered in March 2017.[23] The same year, Yoon starred in KBS2's youth drama Hit the Top.[24]

In 2018, Yoon starred in the historical romance melodrama Grand Prince.[25] The series was a ratings success becoming the highest rated TV Chosun drama since the network's establishment in 2011.[26][27] He next starred in the legal drama Your Honor, playing double roles as a judge and convict.[28] In the same year Yoon was cast in the film Private Woman alongside Kim Yoon-hye.
