During the episode, Lee Yoo Ri shared that she would at times be confused for former Fin.K.L's Sung Yuri due to their similar names. Much to 'Healing Camp' MC Sung Yuri's surprise, Lee Yoo Ri stated, "During my rookie days, Sung Yuri's group Fin.K.L was gaining a lot of interest. Yet of all things, I had a difficult time because we had the same name 'Yuri'."
She continued to explain, "When it would be announced that a Yuri was appearing, people would happily say, 'Yuri appeared,' and think that Sung Yuri had come. When they realized that it was Lee Yoo Ri [that was coming], they wouldn't hide their disappointment."
On the same episode, she revealed that she was not only overshadowed by the trending idols at the time, but that she had a difficult time in general trying to get a role. She revealed, "I was dropped from auditions more than 100 times."
When asked what roles she had auditioned for, she mentioned, "Kim Tae Hee's role in the drama 'Stairway to Heaven'." Lee Yoo Ri added, "It makes sense that I failed the audition," perhaps admitting defeat to the fellow actress.
