Career
Yoo In-na began her acting career in the popular daytime sitcom High Kick Through the Roof in 2009.
Several supporting roles followed, notably as the heroine's perky best friend in 2010 SBS drama Secret Garden which won her Best New Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards.
She was an MC for Night of TV Entertainment from March 3, 2011 to June 4, 2012, for which she won Best Variety Entertainer at the SBSEntertainment Awards. She is currently a DJ for the KBS Cool FM radio show Let’s Crank Up the Volume.
Having trained for years under YG Entertainment hoping to become a singer before her acting debut, Yoo's vocals was featured in Humming Urban Stereo's 2011 digital single "You, That Day" (넌 그날). 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. Their chick flick is about the lives of four twentysomething friends as they juggle life, love and work.
In 2012 Yoo starred in her first leading role in the tvN series Queen In-Hyun's Man. The plot of the cable drama centers around obscure actress Choi Hee-jin, played by Yoo, who falls in love with time-traveling scholar Kim Boong-do (Ji Hyun-woo) from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) who jumped 300 years to the 21st century.
In her first big-screen leading role, Yoo has been cast in the melodrama Pure Couple, which begins filming in December 2012.
Personal life
At a June 7, 2012 fan meeting to mark the end of Queen In-Hyun's Man, Ji Hyun-woo made a surprise public declaration that he was in love with co-star Yoo In-na, shocking fans and press alike. This sparked a media frenzy in the following days, during which their agencies remained mum on the issue and the two stars lay low, except for a reassuring message to his fans that Ji posted on Twitter on June 11.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. The next day on June 18, Yoo confirmed on her radio show that they are officially dating.
