In the early morning of February 25th, Yuri held a brief chat session with fans on Instagram over a cup of coffee. Topics for the session included Yuri’s cake and coffee preferences and habits, a certain American film she saw recently, and some of the music she has been listening to. Her comments and their translations (in italics) can be seen below.
Yuri: 나 커피 조아해요 요즘
(I’ve been liking coffee lately)
Yuri: 아메리카노. 드립 . 에스프레소 ..엄청가끔
(Americano. Drip. Espresso ..Really often)
Yuri: 아포카토 이쁘고 귀엽고 마싯쪙
(Affogato is pretty, cute, and tasty)
Yuri: 근데요샌 매일 네스프레소캡슐 선물반은걸로 먹고이써여 행보케여
(But lately, I’ve been drinking Nespresso capsules I received as a gift every day. I’m happy.)
Yuri: @sintop_999 루왁왁왁왁 …!!!! >< (luwak-wakwakwak…!!! >< )
Translator’s note: “luwak” refers to “kopi luwak”, beans of coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by the Asian palm civet. The name is also used for marketing brewed coffee made from the beans.

Translator’s note: Yuri is probably referring to drinks.

Yuri: @janicexiaodui 찹쌀 탕수육만조아

Translator’s Note: “Chapssal tang soo yook” is deep fried pork in sweet and sour sauce, with the batter coat being made with glutinous rice.
Yuri: @kangmuy 케이크 같이 먹는건 시러
(I don’t like eating cake together [with coffee])
Translator’s note: The “with coffee” is implied.

Yuri: @tamtam22222 내가 그여자를 참 조아해요 엉엉엉

Translator’s note: It is unclear who Yuri is referring to without seeing the question that she is responding to.

(@ram876e The one I have lit right now is Penhaligon’s. I received this as a gift too ^^)
Yuri: @tkdals111 안해 ㅡㅡ요
(@tkdals111 I don’t ㅡㅡ)
Translator’s note: It is again unclear what Yuri is referring to without the question to which she’s responding.
Yuri: @mk_ggyr 안해…요 ㅡㅡ… 근데 꾸준히 모아는 두는데. 안먹어서 다 썩어….ㅎㅎ
( I don’t… ㅡㅡ… but, I do collect them consistently. They all spoil because I don’t eat them…. ㅎㅎ)
