‘I’m still very young,’ Yoo says
Yoo is 41 years old and still enjoys being single. Out of all the people, he knows he is at the age to be married, has kids, and settle with a family. In a December 2016 interview with the Inquisitr, he admitted that his peers his age were already fathers and mothers to children.
Despite being the same age, he mentioned addressing married friends as “Hyungs” [Big brother]. Then, while affirming his desire for a wife and children, Yoo admitted that he was mentally too young to deal with the difficulties of getting married, having children, and starting a family.
Yoo was asked about his thoughts on marriage and why he was not married during the MBC Docuflex’s Coffee Prince special Youth Documentary in 2020. He clarified that he had no intention of never marrying but that he had misjudged his timing.
He used to have a girlfriend
It’s not that the actor has never been in a relationship; he was once romantically involved with a woman. When he appeared on SBS’s talk show Because I Wanted to Talk in 2019, the Train To Busan star admitted to having a girlfriend.
He admitted that he once texted his ex-girlfriend while drunk and received no response. He texted her again the next day, explaining that he had been drinking. The actor admitted that he was relieved not to have received an answer because it prevented their relationship from becoming more awkward.
His Relationship Rumors
Yoo, despite his forthrightness, is not immune to rumors. He was rumored to be dating his co-star Kim Go Eun, for example.
The on-screen couple from the TV show Goblin were the subject of dating rumors. However, both of their agencies dismissed the rumor as a hoax. The rumor began after Eun ended her relationship with her then-boyfriend Shin Ha-kyun. Yoo had nothing to do with Eun’s breakup, according to her agency.
