When asked to describe her most memorable role to date, Yoon Da-young described "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" as meeting that definition as her TV drama debut. Yoon Da-young seemed to believe that she could have done a better job in her fairly minor role, despite knowing at the time how important the part was. Yoon Da-young smiled as she expressed a wish for director Lee Eung-bok and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook to have seen more of her.

For her earliest influences, Yoon Da-young cited a church play when she was a middle school student as giving her a taste for acting. Yoon Da-young went on to do dance in high school. This naturally led to her being interested in musicals where she could act and dance at the same time, and she continued her studies accordingly for such a career. Having her start in musicals, Yoon Da-young said that she wanted to challenge herself with more musicals and stage plays.

Regarding her parents, Yoon Da-young said that her father strongly opposed these interests and tried to make her go to cram school for math. However, Yoon Da-young said her mother secretly helped her to attend acting classes instead. When Yoon Da-young was accepted into a universiy for acting, her father contacted her to apologize for his opposition. Yoon Da-young claims that he is now a big supporter of her work.

To maintain her glamorous work, Yoon Da-young claims that she does a lot of home care in regard to her skin, although she also goes to skincare clinics as necessary. She does one pack her day and also sleeps with a pack on her face at night. For role models, Yoon Da-young called out Jeon Do-yeon for her loveliness, Lee Bo-young for her charisma, and Seo Hyun-jin for her expression. "Apple of My Eye" premieres on KBS this coming arch 27th.
