Yura is born at the night of 1st of September, year 1995 at Korea's Light Province, Gwangju. She is the first child of Kim Yeonju, a waitress and Choi Hongbin, a teacher. In the year 1997, her parents decided to file for divorce because of her father's concubinage. Her mother, Yeonju, spent all her life savings for them to move to Seoul but Yura's uncle disagreed and brought Yura with him to London, against her mother's will. Yura learned all about this when she was nine years old and tried to rebel against her uncle at her young age, but her uncle said that she should be thankful for the first class living and education she receives. Yura tried to shut herself up and appreciate it; continued her normal, happy life but then a letter came from Korea when she was twelve, saying that her father is doing self-harm and is admitted to a mental hospital. There she broke down and started to be cold towards people.
She excelled in her studies and joined extra curricular activities, specifically the glee club. Her peers praised her for her singing and eventually, she learned how to fast talk a.k.a rap, too. Rapping became her extra outlet of loneliness. Although, she is pretty talented, Yura doesn't have many friends but still boys tried to make her them, only giving up with three days span of time. She only has one best friend and that friend stayed with her throughout her hardships.
That friend convinced her to take the SM Entertainment Global Auditions happening in London. Yura finally agreed and auditioned by singing a Korean song, G.NA's "I'll Back Off So You Can Live" and an English song, Ellie Goulding's "The Writer". After three rounds of auditions, she became an official trainee and is flown to Seoul for her training. There, she meets her mother, after not hearing any news about her for the past fourteen years since she was two years old, working as a PD for SM Entertainment. They reconciled and she properly trained for three years. Yura promises to work harder after debut.

LOVE INTEREST: GOT7's Mark
BACKUP: Jay Park
In variety shows, every time Mark is asked about his ideal type, he constantly answers Yura and that never changes. They first met in the backstage of M!Countdown and Mark did a backflip in front of Yura which made her shocked but also made her laugh, that is the first time her fellow members saw Yura laughed that hard and it is because of Mark. Ever since, Mark slowly got to know Yura and vice versa. They always hang out just the two of them in their free time. The two act very affectionate towards each other, often making skinships. Mark is very vocal though of his feelings towards Yura but Yura never gets awkward and is just waiting for the right time and the perfect urge for her to say her real feelings.
