In the variety show 'What's the Point of Leaving It?', actress Yoo-i (38, real name Kim Yu-jin), formerly a member of the group After School, openly shared details about her dating history and thoughts on marriage.

The 52nd episode of tvN STORY's variety program 'What's the Point of Leaving It?' aired on the afternoon of the 20th, featuring Yoo-i and Im Soo-hyang as guests.

On that day, MC Lee Young-ja asked, "Yoo-i was a sensation as the center of After School. Her popularity was enormous. At this point, I thought she would have gotten married already. The reason is that her father isn't Kim Sung-gap, the baseball coach? So I assumed she'd marry a baseball player. She must have received countless blind date offers."

However, Yoo-i countered with, "Isn't that how it should be?" before adding, "But no players ever mentioned anything like that. It seems my father blocked those connections entirely. The players never even brought up the word 'blind date.' From what I heard, my father said, 'My daughter is not an option' before they could even ask. Articles even appeared stating, 'We are not interested either.' I did nothing, yet it turned into something like '0 confessions, 1 rejection.' It's so unfair—I've never once been on a blind date with a baseball player," eliciting laughter from the audience.

Lee Young-ja then brought up Yoo-i's ideal type early in her debut, noting that she had previously stated on another variety show that she follows the 'Day-Lose-Night-Win' (낮져밤이) principle—losing during the day but winning at night.

Yoo-i recalled, "After that, my mother scolded me many times. She asked, 'Do you even know what that phrase means when you wrote it?'"

Soon after, Yoo-i said, "Right now, I really value someone with whom I can communicate well. I want to build a relationship where we talk and suddenly realize how much time has passed."

When MC Park Se-ri asked whether her dating style is direct or indirect, Yoo-i replied, "I'm not sure if only I feel this way these days, but it's not easy for someone you like to appear. So I speak directly. But everyone seems really scared of that. When I confess like that, they get very burdened."

Notably, Yoo-i bluntly stated, "Still, I think I was rejected once or twice."

Furthermore, when MC Lee Young-ja asked the direct question, "Do you currently have a boyfriend?" Yoo-i answered simply, "No," and added, "It's been a long time since we broke up. My last relationship was five years ago."

When asked about her thoughts on marriage, Yoo-i honestly shared, "That feels too burdensome. It would be too much pressure to date with marriage in mind. I think we should start with fun relationships first. Actually, during my earlier activities, I hid and met people secretly because I was afraid of scandals. These days, though, it doesn't feel like that anymore. I'd like to walk around holding hands on dates; I think I can do that now. I really want to have a proper romantic relationship. That's why marriage feels so difficult."

The show 'What's the Point of Leaving It?' airs every Monday at 8 p.m.
