Yuri of Girls' Generation revealed an episode where she thought she had to quit being an idol. Recently, a video titled "The moment Yuri of Girls' Generation tried to quit being an idol" was posted on Lee Sora's YouTube channel "Super Market SORA," and Yuri made a guest appearance. In the video, Yuri's extraordinary affection for the members of Girls' Generation stood out. She revealed, "They are truly special, and I feel even more special after turning 30. There's a bit of camaraderie. I think, 'We've endured well.' Of course, I think that's true for other professions as well, but in this tough world, we're all enduring in our respective places and are friends who positively influence each other." Lee Sora asked, "I heard that you and Hyoyeon had a hard time memorizing the lyrics, but how do you memorize the lines for acting?" Yuri replied, "Acting has a story. So I memorize the story. The lines are long." She continued, "But the songs, when Girls' Generation debuted, we sang them divided among 9 people, so the (individual parts) were too short. I couldn't memorize them without a storyline. So Hyoyeon and I couldn't memorize them well." At the time, Yuri was scolded for making mistakes in the lyrics. She said, "I was scolded terribly. It was like that since I was a trainee," and confessed, "Hyoyeon and I were scolded a lot and cried a lot." She also talked about an episode where she made a mistake in the lyrics, saying, "Hyoyeon once sang the A and B parts mixed together. She sang 'a person without nose hair' live on air and made everyone laugh." Not only that, Yuri recalled a dangerous experience, saying, "There was a song I sang live for the first time on stage on the program 'Love Request.' But because of my personality, I get really nervous in a solemn atmosphere. When that happens, my mind goes blank. I hurried to the stage after finishing my last schedule. Normally, I remember just before my turn, but I couldn't remember." She then mentioned the lyrics "When I see you walking holding my hand, I can't think of anything," and said, "I could only think of 'I can't think of anything,' so I sang it that way. It was broadcast live. It's still remembered as a legend." Above all, Yuri revealed her honest feelings, saying, "At that time, I really thought I had to quit (being an idol). I thought, 'I'm not suited for this.' I thought that if I failed, it would be absolutely terrible. But it seems like I wanted to comfort myself more. I seemed cold and difficult, and when I said, 'I couldn't remember anything,' the fans were happy. I was surprised, thinking, 'What's going on?'" She stood out with her candid feelings.
