Although Yoo shared how awkward he felt while dealing with women in real life, he mentioned he could handle such situations on screen. In his own words, he could do anything when being under a character.
Yoo elaborated his say, stating that the portrayal would feel comfortable and less embarrassing because the subject would not be him as a person but his character. And in that case, he could express his feelings as demanded by the role or the plot.
The 42-year-old remarked that the very reason was what he liked most about acting. One could borrow a character and be different.
Concluding his explanation, Yoo mentioned that his fan's mental image of him being a sweet and romantic person wasn't entirely accurate. The talented actor pointed out people had such an image of him because of his roles in TV series and movies.
Then, he disclosed he wasn't a romantic or a caring person, stressing he was "more careless than what people thought."
Given Yoo's statement that he is shy in front of women and regarding such topics, it can be speculated that he is still single. No news of him dating a possible girlfriend has surfaced out on the internet. His social media also shows no hint of him dating.
Also, during an interview with Inquisitr in December 2016, the Busan native admitted to being too young to get married, He confessed he was already old enough to settle with a family but stated he wasn't ready for the responsibilities.
