She is currently in the group Girl Friends with her good friend Chae Rina, promoting the single "Maybe I Love You" as of October 2006.

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 has been criticized 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.
