Canon
Shin-Ae was suspicious of Yeong-Gi at first, but later on she feels more attached to him and wants to be a better friend. They're always teasing each other and they are friends.

They first met when she accidentally pours her orange soda on him, instead of his friend, who she was aiming for. She apologizes and tries to get the stain out of his uniform by punching it.

She runs into him again at his family's formal, where she drops her mask. Yeong-Gi picks it up. Afterwards he follows her and offers her a ride, she mistakes him for a pervert, and he tries to explain that he is not and wants to call her a cab and prank her friends, who had ditched her.

In Episode 5, he asks her to be his partner, for the prank, and she loudly slaps his hands and shouts "Heck Yeah!" He comes up with the idea of prank-calling Rika and May. Shin-Ae originally unimpressed, realizes the plan is better, but then quickly thinks it is going too far. Shin-Ae gets accosted by two men, and Yeong-Gi defends her. He then asks to have her drink. Unfortunately the drink was roofied by the two men from earlier. So Yeong-Gi passes out, and Shin-Ae takes him to the ER. After he is safe, and she has a terrible run in with Kousuke, she leaves.

In episode 10, she sees Yeong-Gi again at a bakery, where he asks to be friends. She is slightly suspicious of it, but says she will consider it.

In Episode 14, after she tells Maya about him, Maya sets up a blind date for Shin-Ae as payback. This causes the three to meet again.

In Episode 17, Yeong-Gi then follows her in the mall, and helps return a lost girl to her sister. They then exchange numbers.

In episode 20, They see each other again after school, where she goes to the arcade with him. He approaches her while she is reading a book, and offers to buy her a meal if she can beat anyone in a game. She ends up passing out, and he catches her.

After Kousuke comes to collect him, he tells Kousuke that if he gets Shin-Ae food, he will be cooperative for a week. This causes Yeong-Gi to start work.

In Episode 25, they run into each other at the Hirahara Corp, where Shin-Ae is thinking of applying. Kousuke invites her to lunch with the two of them. When both boys notice she is cold, they both take off their jackets. In Episode 27, Yeong-Gi puts his around her, and laughs at how 'smol' she looks. She refuses the jacket, but he decides to be cold with her.

In Episode 28, On the way home, she falls asleep in the car, and wakes up to something smelling nice. She sees that his jacket is around her. He walks her to the door, and tells her he hopes they can work together. She is concerned on why he would act so friendly if he has a girlfriend.

In Episode 37, they see each other again when he unexpectedly drops by when she is tutoring Soushi and Dieter. He joins for tutoring and pays her extra. She asks about his mom, assuming it is Yui, and he gets a shocked facial expression.

By Episode 43, they see each other again at WacDonalds, and he waits for her break. He tries to encourage her, but to her it comes off as strange. She confronts him on why he is being so nice even though he has a girlfriend. He tells her he was just trying to be a good friend. By Episode 44, they meet again later in the park by coincidence, and she tells him that she appreciates his efforts, but he is coming on too strong. He agrees to tone it down.

In Episode 49, he sees her next at the formal, where she is very upset and tired looking. He offers to do her makeup for her. He says he can learn via Woutube. They then get food and sit down on the floor at the formal. He and her get separated. He runs into her again and asks if they are friends. She says of course. He then introduces her to Alyssa, his girlfriend. She is shocked that Alyssa offers her to dance with him.

Starting in Episode 58, when she is drugged, he goes looking for her. He punches Sang-Chul in the face, and shouts 'Fried Chicken!' to distract her. She ends up falling with Kousuke catching her, and Nol catching his brother. Upon Yui's arrival, Yeong-Gi drops Kousuke. He then fell into water as well. He panics seeing Shin-Ae injured. He then gets arrested for possession of the vial, and assault. He then makes bail, and goes to bring the coats back to Kousuke and Shin-Ae. He sits outside her door. When she finds him, he runs to a balcony. She follows him. They talk and she cries.

Shin-Ae worries about him and calls him multiple times, but his phone is off while he is at a family meeting with the Kim's and Hirahara's. When he turns it back on, in Episode 73, he calls her back, and she asks if he is okay.

They see each other at work, and he encourages her to see Dieter. He also took the blame for her being late on her second day.

Later, in Episode 84, he is there when she calls Dieter about the intruder. He develops an allergic reaction to Lil'Buddy. He swats away her hand when she goes to check his temperature. She then leaves allergy medicine in his car for him.

In the Mid Season Recap, she says the following about Yeong-Gi: "That gigantic idiot. He's gotten on my nerves on plenty of occasions. I treated him poorly because of my own personal bias. But even after it all... from the start he always had my back... helped me through tough times... comforted me during one of my lowest moments... I'm sorry I have been unfair to you... you've proven to me that you are someone I can trust... I'm glad I gave you a chance"

In Episode 93, they see each other at the park again, and talk. She helps him pick up his earbud, and asks him to lower the music volume so he doesn't damage his ears.

When she sees him at WacDonalds after both her and his interview with Yu Jing, at the end of Episode 116, he tries to leave, attempting to avoid her. In Episode 117, she gets him to stay, and they talk, and she encourages him. She holds his hand, he reacts shocked and then tells her that he has a girlfriend. She says forget it, that she was just trying to be a good friend. He smiles and offers her a earbud to listen to his music.

Later that night when she is reflecting on it, her hands feel weird and she is embarrassed for saying 'You smell clean' to him.
