- Yoo quietly enlisted for his mandatory military service as a regular soldier on 5 March 2013, reportedly working as a trainer of new recruits. He drew praise for doing so at age 19, as majority of Korean men choose to carry out their army duty shortly after high school or during university, unlike most male Korean celebrities who choose to delay their enlistment until they turn 29.Yoo was discharged on 4 December 2014.
- Yoo began his career as a child actor in 2000, when he was seven years old. But Yoo rose to stardom in his first film The Way Home (2002), playing a bratty city boy who learns to appreciate country life when he's forced to spend the summer with his deaf-mute grandmother. The low-budget film was a surprise box office hit in 2002, drawing more than 4 million admissions.
- Yoo Seung Ho topped the results of a survey in 2015, where parents selected the Korean celebrities they would like their children to resemble.
- Known in the press as Little So Ji-seob for his resemblance to the said actor, in 2013 Yoo starred in the music video for So's single "Eraser" together with Park Shin-hye. This was his second time promoting So's musical endeavors, after "Lonely Life" in 2008.
- Yoo made his entertainment debut in a N016 cellphone commercial in 1999. The advertising agency responsible for the campaign had been looking for a "new face," not a professional model, so Yoo's mother sent in a photo of her son and he was chosen.
- Yoo's first photo book titled Travel Letter, Spring Snow, And... was published; it was the last project shot by celebrity photographer Bori before her death on 9 April 2013.
