Girl's Day's Yura already showed her amazing drawing skills through a sketch of Elsa from 'Frozen,' but she impressed once again on the August 21 installment of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3' with her sketch of MC Yoo Jae Suk that was spot on! In addition, as mentioned in the preview article for this episode, Yura also elaborated on how she came to be contacted by 40 agencies.
The MCs asked how she got to debut in a girl group. She explained that she had only done art because people told her she was so good at it. She went on to reveal that back when minihompies (most likely in reference to the Cyworld personal home pages) were popular, her page was once featured on the main site. Many agencies seem to have gotten to her personal page through this feature, and contacted her.
She said while laughing, "There was Jung Chan Woo, asking if he could meet me once," although she did say she wasn't sure if he personally sent that. However, she never met up with him as she had already been in contact with another company.
She also elaborated further on how exactly she was scouted by saying that she posted 2 years worth of her dance videos over a month and that her CEO had actually seen them all and saw how fast she was able to progress. He then personally went to seek information about her at her dance academy and that's how she came to be chosen.
