— Yura is a tall woman, but if not for this, she'd be mistaken to be much younger than her age as she has a baby face and good skin. Many idols love to dye their hair, especially bright colours, but Yura usually sticks to black or dark brown.

elaboration. At first, Yura seems to be antisocial because she is selective about her company. In order to prevent others from getting too close to her, Yura acts y to make people keep their distance. She has no qualms openly trashing people who have done her wrong. She also seems to talk condescendingly, never failing to bring up that she has been a leader before and therefore knows better than the rest of the group. She may seem rude when she tells others off, but that's because she doesn't tolerate people disrespecting her or her members. #TalkGetHit

The truth is, Yura cares deeply for her members and never stops thinking about their interests. Have they eaten? Are they healthy? Those are what's always on Yura's mind. Yura is always ready to help them if they have any difficulties and sticks with them through their hard times, or stands up for them when they are being unfairly criticised. Yes, Yura is very loyal to those she loves. And she works hard so she can provide them with the best she can give. Of course, such a nice person does get hurt when they feel appreciated, and Yura tends to be needy when she feels so, needing her members to affirm that they love her and appreciate what she does. But Yura never lashes out at her members for not appreciating her or even messing up, she stays calm even when provoked. Sure, she tells them off when she's mad and her words may be harsh, but at least she's being honest. Besides, she does show the same honesty when praising her members too.

background. Yura often went for karaoke sessions after school with her friends when she was in middle school, and this made her fall in love with singing, and she ended up being able to sing well because of it. During these times, she would often imagine what it would be like to sing on stage, with crowds cheering her on. When Yura's parents found out, however, that she wanted to become an idol, she got a long lecture about how it "wasn't sustainable" and "not as fun and glamorous as she thought it would be". Yura refused to believe it. If that was the case, why did so many people want to be idols?

Nevertheless, Yura knew that if she wanted to fulfil her dream, she had to work hard and do it herself. She secretly got a job washing dishes for four hours a day after school at a roadside stall to save up to move away from her parents, which she managed to successfully do once she turned eighteen. For the next few months, Yura continued washing dishes during the day while singing at bars at night. It was definitely not a smooth road as the customers would try to take advantage of her, and if not for her being alert and streetsmart they would have succeeded. Yura was eventually scouted by NH Media when she was spotted at one of her bar performances, and debuted in the girl group Larcenciel in 2012.

That's not where it ends though. Due to their cute concept, which many other groups were doing, and being from a small and unknown company, Larcenciel remained underrated for many years, and another member's untimely pregnancy while they were on hiatus just made everything worse. After releasing their final single in December 2014, Larcenciel disbanded. However, Yura, determined to continue pursuing her passion, continued auditioning for other companies, hoping to get into a bigger one. Alas, she only managed to get into another small company. Yura was chosen to be part of a girl group called #EXPOSED in 2015, but due to issues within the company, the group failed to debut. However, Yura was not about to run home crying to her parents that they were right. Two (three?) years later, Predisposed Media came back with a brand new line-up for #EXPOSED, and yes, Yura was a part of it.

social circle/relations. 

— partner in crime : Nam Sera (fc : EXID's LE) / 26 / underground rapper influencer / ostentatious, supportive, imoulsive, caring, straightforward / best friend

Yura and Sera had been close since their school days. Nowadays, Yura and Sera are just texting each other 24/7, and never fail to meet up whenever Yura has an off day.

— Groupmate : Breenadette Riverend-Oh / 28 / Member of #EXPOSED / stated in her app / Good Friend

Yura was skeptical of Bree at first because Bree being a mother (and leaving her kids alone to be one) reminded Yura of her former groupmate becoming pregnant and leaving Larcenciel, which ultimately led to their disbandment. It took a while for Yura to accept Bree, but now they're practically inseperable.

— Groupmate : Jung Sunmi (LilySaturn's character) / 17 / Member of #EXPOSED / stated in her app / Best Friend

Ever since knowing Sunmi's past, Yura has been fiercely protective of the younger girl. Wanna harm Sunmi? Be ready to face Yura's wrath.

— Groupmates : #EXPOSED / 16-26 / Idols / varies / she considers them her best friends

Yura blames herself for Larcenciel's disbandment, so she tries her hardest to keep her current group together and show them she loves them. They're some of her few close friends so she doesn't ever wanna lose them.

trainee life.

— In NH, it was mostly normal for Yura other than one girl. For seemingly no reason, she was rude to all the members, especially Yura. Somehow though, this girl managed to hide her iness from the management and higher-ups, and nobody knew about the horrible things she did to the members behind closed doors. In 2013, the maknae of Larcenciel became pregnant and left the group, and this just gave the mean girl more excuses to pick on Yura. The mean girl's bullying was finally brought to light when the maknae revealed everything about her life in Larcenciel during an interview, and they finally disbanded after their final single, Turn It On.

— Yura thought she had found friends in the fellow 4 initial #EXPOSED members, but they ended up leaving her alone in Predisposed Media. For a long time, Yura trained alone and slept alone in the dorm room, until a few more trainees joined the company. Though Yura tried to keep her distance, the girls who ended up later becoming the members of the new #EXPOSED managed to break down her walls.
