[Interview] Yoo In-na Is IU's Muse

Yoo In-na is an actress known for her sweet voice. She's highly popular as a radio DJ and has been running the KBS Cool FM "Turn Up the Volume" for four and a half years. Her popularity with listerners earned her the nicknames 'Honey' and 'Yoodi.' Therefore, many are anticipating her return to radio.

The same can be said for her acting. She's been on a break for almost a year since the tvN drama "Goblin". When will she be out with a new one? IU claimed Yoo In-na was her muse and Osen decided to interview the actress.

-There are many fans who want you back on the radio. When will you come back?

"It's always on my mind and I'm just waiting for the right time. If there is a seat and people want me without others getting hurt, I would love to go back to the time where I can focus on live broadcasting. I hope to stay in that position for a long time. I know that when DJ whose voice you've been hearing for such a long time leaves, it makes you feel empty. I don't want to do the same thing to my listeners again".

-IU claims you're her muse. How do you feel about that?

"That makes me feel really good. It's not easy being mentioned by someone as pretty as her. I remember once an actress mentioned the name of the man she loved while making a speech and I melted although it wasn't me. Then that actress looked prettier to me since then. This time, it's me! I am happy and grateful. I hope IU seems prettier to others who hear this.

-Who is IU to Yoo In-na?

"She's actually just an ordinary friend to me, but she's so good at expressing things the pretty way so it makes us look special. We have a big age gap so many ask how we stay friends, but we connect to each other and neither is uncomfortable with the other. We are good friends for life. She's someone I should be responsible and take care of and she's my support when I need it. We interfere with each others' lives and go around eating delicious food".

-Is there anything you would like to accomplish in 2018?

"I don't have obvious plans but I did turn down many works in 2017 because I was under pressure of being in the spotlight and I just wasn't sure about the characters that were given to me. I guess I was scared of ruining a good piece of work. This year, I hope to be more courageous and do something I can mesh with. I hope I make myself proud in 2018".

-A word for the fans please

"I don't get to meet my fans like singers do and I don't have SNS so I can't really communicate with you all. I am always sorry about that. At least when I was on radio we spoke on the way to and from work, but I'm sorry we can't do that now. Thank you for always waiting for me right where you are".

"I'll work harder this year and I wish you a Happy New Year. Health is always the best and I wish everyone the best of health".
