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."[3] She first came to note in 2009 with the sitcomHigh Kick Through the Roof on MBC.[4] Several supporting roles followed, notably in the 2010 drama Secret Garden,[5] 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.[6]
