After years of being in the industry, she proved that she could do main roles, even the antagonist part. Lee Yoo Bi's new drama is the much-awaited sequel, "Yumi's Cells" season 2, which will premiere on June 10.
She will reprise her role as the bubbly officemate of Kim Yumi. The 31-year-old definitely entertained the viewers with her character's hilarious and very positive personality, especially how she's around with SHINee's Minho, who plays the office crush, Chae Woo Ki, in season 1.
Surprisingly, apart from her stellar performance in "Yumi's Cells," which gained praise from viewers, Lee Yoo Bi also made headlines after being romantically involved with a Kpop superstar.
