Due to lovesickness, Yuri is later revealed to become an antagonist for Seasons 3-4.

## Appearance

Choi Yuri has short bobbed brown hair and light brown eyes, similar to Dan-I, but with a cooler texture. She wears two hair-clips above her ears.

## Personality

Choi Yuri is seen to be the kind and reliable friend to her classmates, mainly to Yeo-Ryeong. She worries for her friends, and tries to resolve conflict given to them. Yuri isn't afraid to stand up for her friends, and believes justice is needed.

However, Choi Yuri's intent isn't so sincere. Behind her sweet smile lies obsession, blinded by jealousy over her unrequited love for Eun Ji-ho. She goes to such great lengths to frame Dan-I as the creator of the anti-cafe, and does so discreetly.

Yuri pretends to be sweet, humble and caring. Despite her behavior, her words are pointed. She manipulates by gaslighting or instigating doubt, and she often uses her wealth to create problems for her victims.

## Relationships

### Ban Yeo-Ryeong

Choi Yuri is introduced in the story as Yeo-Ryeong's only friend (other than the Kings) from Class 1-1. She comes off as kind and caring to Yeo-Ryeong, and the two become good friends. Yeo-Ryeong trusts Yuri as a friend, and she gives Yuri her number.

While the situation at first was sweet, Choi Yuri secretly despises and envies Yeo-Ryeong for being beautiful and "surrounded" by the Kings.

On multiple occasions, it is implied that Yuri is responsible for some of the harassment incidents Yeo-Ryeong to trouble her. But she befriends her to find a way to become close to Eun Ji-ho, and to destroy Yeo-Ryeong's and Dan-I's relationships with the boys.

### Eun Ji-ho

Ji-ho and Choi Yuri first met at a party two years before the prologue. The party was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Haneul Group. Ji-ho and Yuri were apparently meant to form a political marriage, but Yuri fell for Ji-ho at first sight.

With her feelings fueling her jealousy over Yeo-Ryeong and Dan-I, she then overhears on a school trip one day that Ji-ho confessed to Chun-young (Chapter 76) about his feelings for Dan-I in middle school. Yuri then decides to get rid of *her* too.

### Ham Dan-I

Choi Yuri is frightened by the thought of Dan-I being the culprit for the anti-cafe, and her classmates believe her. The two didn't have a good relationship, as Yuri believed the rumors about Dan-I and did it solely for Yeo-Ryeong's well being.

With this facade established, Choi Yuri targets Dan-I as her rival, and sets her up on multiple accusations in order to frame and distance Dan-I from Yeo-Ryeong.

Dan-I is the only person in front of whom Yuri never continues the sweet girl image; this is possibly due to Dan-I being seen as non-threatening to her at all, ability-wise. It is also implied that Yuri smokes cigarettes (Dan-I smells them near her in Chapter 81), a direct contradiction to her "sweet girl" image.

## Trivia

* Yeo-Ryeong befriends Yuri with the thought of being one of the only people she could trust, and partly because she vaguely looks like and reminds her of Dan-I.
