Yuri's predebut video:
"Things that a trainee must leave: Yuri"
"I started training since 6 years ago.
When I was young, my friend saw an article on some "best selection" contest and asked me to go with her... (laughs)
So I followed my friend and thats where I was casted.
Since my home is far away in Ilsan, I regret not having more time to hang out with my friends.
I want to do everything well, and I have many desires, but it was also hard not being able to study. Since I had to both train and go to school side by side, it was very tough."
