Yuri’s Selca and Message on Japanese Mobile Site

Hello everyone. This is Yuri!

The shooting of the drama I acted in in Korea has finally finished!  This is a picture taken during a shooting break.

I was busy every day, but I am happy I was able to challenge myself in acting. I also took acting lessons and tried my very best.

And since next month we can meet everyone with nine members after such a long time, I am really looking forward to it.

Just wait a little bit more!

After debuting in early May, Girls' Generation's subgroup, Taetiseo, has held successful promotions for their first mini album, "Twinkle", winning on several music shows and taking the triple crown on Inkigayo. Though their promotions have been successful, it seems that the group will end them soon, as they will hold a goodbye stage on this week's episode of Music Core.

However, the group will go out with a bang--MBC has revealed through their official website that not only will Taetiseo perform "Twinkle" for the last time on Music Core, but they will be joined by Sooyoung and perform another track from their mini album, "OMG".

Although Taetiseo's promotions are coming to an end, Girls' Generation will return to the stage as nine soon, with the upcoming release of their Japanese single, "Paparazzi".
