Quotes

“At the end of the day, loving myself is the most important thing. I remembered how I get so much comfort whenever my fans and friends told me that even my flaws are cute. So I wanted to create something that comforts others the same way.”

“I really want to try the mystery, horror or zombie genres someday, because I’ve been a fan of them for so long.”

“I’m naturally not afraid of challenges. I think it’s because not getting what I want never fazes me. I simply tell myself I’ll get it done someday.”

“Maybe it’s because my goals are usually quite humble, so I feel a sense of achievement pretty easily. The key is to set a goal that doesn’t concern others.

“I want them to call me ‘Jo Yuri who never lets you down. Whether it’s music or another drama series by me, I hope they say, ‘I just know it’s going to be great.’ And I’ll do my best for that.”
