Actor Yoo Seung-ho has shown outstanding shooting skills on Jeju Island.

The online manager of Jeju Shooting Range has posted on its official Instagram site on May 18 a photo of a paper target with eight bullet holes in the center.

At the bottom of the target is Yoo’s signature. Details show the date as May 18 and that Yoo fired from 10 meters for a score of 117 out of 120.

“He is a great actor, handsome, gentle, and his shooting skill is top of the top,” the manager said.

“I could tell by the way he held his gun that he was superior to the other shooters.”

Yoo, 22, was an officer at a training facility in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, during his mandatory military service from March 2013 to December 2014.

Visitors to the SNS attributed his shooting skills to his military training.

Yoo debuted as a child actor in 2000 and rose to stardom two years later in the movie “The Way Home.”

He finished filming a TV drama “Remember: War of the Son” for SBS in February.

In March, the site also praised the skills of Sehun from K-pop boy band EXO. The site showed a photo of his target and, although no bullet holes could be seen, said his shooting score was high.
