(Adidas)

Actor Yoo Seung-ho, 22, has been selected as the new face of sports fashion brand Adidas, PR company Imok Communications said Monday.

Yoo will model for the “Ultra Boost Campaign” for Adidas’ running shoes line.

A representative of Adidas said, “Yoo Seung-ho’s urban chicness and compelling energy accorded well with our campaign.”

Yoo finished his military service last December and returned to the entertainment scene with lead role in film “Josun Magician,” slated for release in the latter half of this year.
