'Popular but Empty'... Girls' Generation's Yuri Reveals the 'Real Reason' for Her Sudden Move to Jeju ('My Little Old Boy')

K-pop star Yuri, a member of the iconic girl group Girls' Generation, opened up about the unexpected emptiness she felt despite her fame and success.

Appearing on the popular South Korean variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (also known as 'Na Honjasangdae'), Yuri, who has been living in Jeju for three years, shared her candid thoughts. The episode, which aired on July 10, provided viewers with a glimpse into her life away from the spotlight.

Despite her glamorous career, Yuri confessed to experiencing a sense of hollowness. She detailed the genuine reasons that prompted her to leave the bustling city life behind and relocate to the serene island of Jeju. Her narrative focused on embracing a more natural and slower pace of life, a stark contrast to the high-octane world of K-pop.

The show highlighted Yuri's efforts in furnishing her Jeju home, including sourcing furniture and even the house itself through second-hand transactions, emphasizing her commitment to a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
