Each successful actor or actress, despite the number of roles played in a movie or theater, has one that has become the starting point on the road to success. For Ilya Korobko, this is M. Ponomarev successfully played by him from the TV series “Molodezhka”. Today, he is one of the most popular young actors with thousands of fans and big plans for the future.
Biography
In 1992, on January 14, a boy was born in the Korobko family. Parents of little Ilya were in no way connected not only with the cinema or theater, but also with the world of art. Their children were an exception. The younger brother and sister of Ilya are engaged in folk dances and design, respectively.
The actor himself also attended art school for 3 years. But he was not able to achieve significant success because of frequent absenteeism. Ilya’s next hobby was football. But even here there were problems - an allergy to synthetics was very irritating and the boy could not concentrate on the game. Today, sport, like acting, is important in the life of Ilya Korobko - he has been engaged in Thai boxing for quite some time.
Creative hobbies are not alien to the actor either - together with Art Pictures Ilya Korobko launched a project in which he takes black and white photographs and videos. The main characters are his colleagues in the Youth. This project is not related to the series, but Ilya fans will definitely like it.
Personal life
For each person, his family is a standard according to which he will build his own. Elijah's family is an example of a strong and reliable rear. This is exactly what the young man dreams of creating. In an interview, he admitted that he appreciates his positive qualities in a person and considers the re-education of an adult to be a futile undertaking. Ilya is also adamant about marriage - he is sure that first you need to get on your feet and only then create a family.

At the moment, the young man does not have a girl.
