The best part about performing in Yuri's opinion was to see all her friends and people she admired share the same stage as her. Not with her (like she really would have hoped) but seeing them perform on the stage that she was on just moments before made a big smile appear on her face. She waited backstage as her friend Areum finished up her song. She started dancing subtly to the music and smiled as other artists walked by. Areum and Yuri formed a connection while she was still a trainee. Areum had helped her out with her singing multiple times, and even though it started out as a business-y type relatinoship, the two just clicked.They were similar in age and personality so it was no wonder they got along so well. As Ariel finished Yuri clapped furiously and waited until Ariel could come offstage. "Unnie!" She shouted and ran over. She gave her a thumbs up, "You did so great out there! Congratulations!"
