Aside from acting, Yoo also ventured into radio. She was the DJ of Let's Crank Up the Volume from 2011 to 2016.

Career

At the age of 16, Yoo In-na joined an entertainment agency as an apprentice singer in 1998, and had nearly become part of a girl group. After 11 years and five different agencies, she could not be prominent.[1] Yoo said she had difficulty memorizing the dance choreography required of K-pop singers, and after practicing for eight hours a day, six days a week, she had resigned from becoming an idol.[2]

In 2006, Yoo joined YG Entertainment as an aspiring actress. She said, "If singing wasn't meant to be, I decided to give acting a go because it seemed fun. I never gave up. A lot of my friends did, though, even though they were prettier and more capable than me."[2] She first came to note in 2009 with the sitcom High Kick Through the Roof on MBC.[3] Several supporting roles followed, notably in the 2010 drama Secret Garden,[4] which she received a Best New Actress award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, and as the second female lead in Hong sisters' romantic comedy The Greatest Love.[5]

She was an MC for TV Entertainment Tonight from March 3, 2011, to June 4, 2012,[6] for which she won Best Variety Entertainer at the SBS Entertainment Awards.[7] She was also the DJ for KBS Cool FM's Let's Crank Up the Volume, which is the highest-rated radio program in its timeslot across both AM and FM bandwidths.[2][8]

Yoo's vocals were featured in Humming Urban Stereo's 2011 digital single "You, That Day" (넌 그날).[9] She also sang for the soundtrack of her 2011 film My Black Mini Dress alongside her castmates Yoon Eun-hye, Park Han-byul, and Cha Ye-ryun.[10][11]

In 2012, Yoo starred in her first leading role in the tvN time-slip romance series Queen and I.[12][13][14][15]

Personal life

At a June 7, 2012, fan meeting to mark the end of Queen and I, Ji Hyun-woo made a surprise public declaration that he was in love with co-star Yoo.[16][17] The declaration was covered significantly by the press in the following days,[18][19][20][21] during which their agencies, and Ji and Yoo had remained quiet on the issue,[22][23] except for a message to his fans that Ji posted on Twitter on June 11.[24][25] Speculation about their relationship status ended on June 17, when gossip website Sportsseoul.com photographed the couple together on a midnight date at a park in Bundang, Gyeonggi, where Yoo lives.[26][27] On June 18, Yoo confirmed on her radio show that they were officially dating.[28][29][30] On May 14, 2014, their respective agencies confirmed in a press release that the couple had ended their relationship.[31][32][33]

Philanthropy

On February 9, 2023, Yoo donated 30 million won to help in 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake through Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.[34]
