'Reply 1988' star Ryu Hyeyoung reveals why she keeps her curtains closed all day

Actress Ryu Hyeyoung has opened up about the real reason she lives with her curtains closed.

On the episode of MBC’s 'I Live Alone' that aired on the 19th, viewers got a rare, quiet look into Ryu Hyeyoung’s daily life. The actress, who has been living independently for 11 years now, started her morning by watching content, studying foreign languages, and chatting with her houseplants.

However, the one thing that really caught the cast's attention was the curtains.

Ryu Hyeyoung kept her curtains pulled shut in both her bedroom and living room. She mentioned, "I'm the type of person who wakes up immediately when I see sunlight." She was seen opening the curtains just enough to let in the absolute minimum amount of light needed for her houseplants.

When asked about the reason, News1 and Sports Chosun reported that Ryu Hyeyoung shared, "After I started receiving a lot of attention through 'Reply 1988,' I realized that my words could have influence." She added:

"Since then, I've become more cautious about speaking and even about meeting people. I'm still quite a fearful person, so I tend to keep things closed up a lot due to anxiety."

Back in 2015, Ryu Hyeyoung gained recognition for her role as Sung Bora, the blunt and charismatic older sister of Lee Hyeri's character in 'Reply 1988.' Since then, she has consistently shown different sides of herself through various dramas and films like 'Law School' and 'Law and the City,' as well as variety shows and Youtube content.

Shin Minah drops relationship advice on her recent appearance on 'No Prepare'

Having recently tied the knot with her long-time partner Kim Woobin after a beautiful 10-year relationship, Shin Minah's take on dating hits a little differently.

On the 19th, Shin Minah made a guest appearance on Lee Youngji's Youtube show 'No Prepare' and dropped some dating advice that is currently going viral.

In the video Lee Youngji asked her, "How do you actually know when you've found the person you want to marry?" As covered in Sports Seoul, Shin Minah suggested that people should probably delay marriage, saying, "Personally, I think the later you get married, the better." She clarified, "I don't mean that you should date lots of people," and added:

"You need enough time to look closely within yourself when you're in a relationship. It's important to learn who you are and how you react in different relationships."

Shin Minah also shared her honest thoughts on how to judge a romantic partner. She said, "Because of your affection, you tend to just look the other way and ignore it. But deep down, you already know. Often, you've already sensed that this person may not be right for you."

She emphasized that the exact same thing also applies to friendships, noting:

"There are relationships that are enjoyable, but not comfortable. You shouldn't mistake being 'fun' for a healthy relationship."

Shin Minah also advised paying attention to how your body physically reacts to a relationship. She stated:

"If you feel physically sick or completely drained after meeting someone, it means you're trying too hard in that relationship. The person who gives you comfort and a sense of stability is ultimately the one who matters more."

 

Even though she is currently a newlywed, this advice comes from her experience in a long-term public relationship. As we all know, Shin Minah and Kim Woobin first went public with their relationship in 2015. When Kim Woobin began his battle with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017, she remained right by his side, and the couple eventually got married last year.

Toward the end of the video, Lee Youngji joked, "I wish my future husband would just have 'I'm your husband' written on his forehead." Hearing this, Shin Minah laughed and said something that has resonated with so many people:

"But deep down, you already know the ones who aren't right for you, don't you?"
