On July 22, Baek Jin Hee uploaded a video titled “How to Stay Fresh During the Rainy Season | A Visit to the Korean Sauna.” During the episode, she participated in a relationship-themed “ideal type” tournament that explored various dating dilemmas.

When asked to choose between “having high standards for an ideal partner” and “hoping to reunite with an ex,” Baek answered without hesitation. “Once I’ve put a full stop to a relationship, I never look back.” Her firm response quickly caught viewers’ attention, especially given her well-known past relationship with actor Yoon Hyun Min.

Baek Jin Hee also discussed why dating can feel difficult today. When choosing between fear of being abandoned and a lack of financial stability, she admitted she could relate to both. “These days, I hear that many people avoid dating to save money. Relationships take both time and money. I think being abandoned is also something that’s scary.”

Later, when asked whether a busy work schedule or a lack of opportunities to meet someone was the bigger obstacle to dating, she chose the latter. According to the actress, even a hectic schedule can be managed if someone truly wants to make time for a relationship.

The final question asked Baek Jin Hee to choose between emotional scars from previous relationships and a lack of self-confidence. After some thought, she selected self-confidence. She explained that while painful relationships can eventually be forgotten through new experiences, building the confidence to begin dating again is much more challenging. “If you lack confidence, it’s difficult to show your charm to someone else. That’s why I chose confidence.”

Baek Jin Hee debuted in 2008 and rose to fame through projects including the sitcom High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged and dramas such as Empress Ki, Pride and Prejudice, and My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol.

She began dating actor Yoon Hyun Min after the two met while filming the 2016 drama My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol. The couple maintained a public relationship for approximately seven years before announcing their breakup in 2023.

Although fans have occasionally wondered whether the pair might reconcile, Baek Jin Hee’s latest remarks strongly suggest she has firmly moved on and is focused on the future.
