In a recent revelation, Yuri member of Girls' Generation ( SNSD) shared a moment of vulnerability, recounting a time when she contemplated leaving the iconic K-pop group.
The confession was made in a video titled ‘The moment Girls' Generation's Yuri tried to quit being an idol', uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Supermarket Sora'.
Memorization Struggles: A Barrier to Yuri's Confidence
During the candid discussion, Yuri opened up about the challenges she faced in memorizing lyrics during Girls' Generation's activities.
She highlighted the disparity between acting and singing, noting that while acting lines are part of a narrative and tend to be longer, songs sung by nine members of the group often left her feeling shortchanged.
"It's short and improbable, so I couldn't memorize it and it didn't work out well," she expressed.
Yuri recounted instances where both she and fellow member Hyoyeon were reprimanded for their difficulty in remembering lyrics, citing a particularly memorable episode during a live broadcast of 'Love Request' where she stumbled over the lyrics, substituting her own improvised lines out of nervousness.
"I get very nervous in a solemn atmosphere," Yuri admitted, reflecting on the pressure of the moment.
Contemplating Departure: A Moment of Doubt
The culmination of these challenges led Yuri to question her place in Girls' Generation, admitting,
"I thought I should quit."
The pressure to perform flawlessly weighed heavily on her, and the mistake during the live broadcast left her feeling inadequate for the role. However, what followed was unexpected - instead of facing harsh criticism, Yuri found support and understanding from fans who appreciated her authenticity.
"I was dumbfounded," she chuckled, reflecting on the revelation that her imperfections endeared her to her audience.
As she continues her journey with Girls' Generation, Yuri's honesty resonates with fans, reaffirming the value of authenticity in an industry often characterized by perfection.
