== Career ==
Yuri has also received recognition for her appearances on many Korean variety shows, portraying a very cute image. Because she calls many other Korean male celebrities 오빠 (''older brother''), she is often teased for not acting her age (as most of the other celebrities are in their early 20s). Once the Girl Friends' promotional schedule ended, she has taken a break.
