Having generated significant buzz by sharing updates on her life in Jeju, including yoga, daily moments with her pet dog, and volunteering for abandoned dogs, Yuri boldly confessed her fandom in front of Lee Hyori.
She said, “Is there anyone who doesn’t imitate Hyori unnie?” praising Lee Hyori’s influence. She then coolly admitted, “How could you not imitate someone like Lee Hyori?” making Lee Hyori smile brightly.
In response, Lee Hyori surprised everyone by saying, “Yuri started yoga before I did,” giving unexpected recognition to the original.
Lee Hyori also mentioned the unit Hyorisoo, of which Yuri is a part, stating, “It’s similar to my name. At least give me some shares,” sparking laughter. Yuri fired back, “It’s only complete as ‘Lee Hyori Soo’ with the ‘Lee’ attached,” and quickly seized the moment by suggesting, “What about you joining us, unnie?” causing bursts of laughter.
