On April 18 episode of MBN's television show 'House of Eat Some More' (literal translation), Yuri made a guest appearance.

Yuri said, "My mother had breast cancer a long time ago, but it recurred right before my debut as a member of Girls' Generation."
She continued, "But I had no idea about that. Nobody in my family told me about it. They told me everything after she had all been treated."

She resumed, "After they told me that, I got so angry. I was upset that they hid it from me whatever their intentions were. I felt betrayed than thankful."

With teary eyes, Yuri commented, "I still feel terrible that I didn't know about my mother's health. I mean, she could have passed away then, if things became worse."
She added, "From that day, I try to speak to my mother more often. I also try to give more attention to my family, and take better care of them."
