Yuko Fueki (born June 21, 1979 in Tokyo) is a Japanese actress. She is most popular in South Korea, where she is known as Yu Min.

Fueki made her feature film debut in the 2001 film Hotaru (Firefly) and, in the same year, her Korean TV debut. She is more popular in South Korea than in Japan. Fueki was the subject of a legal dispute between the Korean company A Stars and the Japanese talent agency Riku Corporation.

Her most recent film, 2005's Sinseolguk, caused a stir for her nude scenes that followed on the heels of her nude photo shoot a few months earlier. For a time, the film's website received so many visitors that it briefly crashed.[1]
