The sacrifices she made to build her career in the entertainment business have left her lonely in her personal life. Then, Chairman Park Sung-hwan who is a longtime fan of hers, asks her to marry him.[1]
Aged 33 she is a Yoo Ji-na impersonator who goes by the stage name, “Yoo Gina.” After her father lost his job and her mother died, she had to earn money to support the family so she found a singing gig at a nightclub where she was a Yoo Ji-na impersonator. Her dreams of becoming an original artist and producing her own songs were becoming more distant by the day. Her boyfriend is the only person who fully supports her and gives her the strength to go on. He is both her manager and driver.
