During her appearance at the 'Salty Brother Shin Dong Yup,' Bae Doo Na was only 20 years old when in 1999 she did the drama 'Madness,' "I didn't know how to ride a two-wheeled bicycle," she explains. When this issue came up while shooting, the director decided to include a scene where Won Bin's character taught her how to ride and the experience not only helped the scene feel natural but also gave Bae lasting skill. She is now cycling confidently to and from work, thanks to Won Bin for giving her this newfound confidence. On the topic of public relationships, Bae Doo Na said that dating may have overshadowed an actor's professional identity.

She expressed a desire to be known more as an actress rather than "somebody's girlfriend." Even though she understood that public personalities were allowed to give up information of their relationships voluntarily, she feared it would taint the audience's minds towards their acting. When someone teased her for advice on newcomer Lee Soo Hyun how to avoid public dating scandals, Bae Doo Na quipped, "Just date without getting caught. Bae Doo Na stars in the K-drama 'Family Matters' at present. In this series, a mother who has the ability to alter the memories of people teams up with her family to bring criminals down. Ryoo Seung Bum, Lomon, and Lee Soo Hyun are also part of this show.
