Yoo In-Na (born June 5, 1982) is a South Korean actress and DJ. After supporting roles in High Kick! Through the Roof (2009-2010) and Secret Garden (2010), she rose to fame as the lead actress in Queen In-hyun's Man (2012), which led to a supporting character role in the hit drama My Love from the Star (2013-2014). She is also the DJ of the highly rated radio program Let's Crank Up the Volume. Most recently, she starred in Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016-2017), one of the highest rated cable television series in South Korea.
At the age of 16, Yoo In-na joined an entertainment agency as an apprentice singer in 1998, and even came close to joining a girl group at one point. But 11 years and five different agencies later, she was unsuccessful at breaking out. Yoo said she had difficulty memorizing the dance choreography required of K-pop singers, and after practicing her dance moves for eight hours a day, six days a week, she called it quits.
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." Her big break came in 2009 with the popular daytime sitcom High Kick Through the Roof on MBC. Several supporting roles followed, notably as the heroine's perky best friend in 2010 hit drama Secret Garden, which won her Best New Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards, and as the second female lead in Hong Sisters' romantic comedy The Greatest Love.
