On the night of September 25th, Yuri took to Instagram and began replying to fans who had commented on one of her posts earlier that day. Her replies can be seen below, along with the English translations in italics directly underneath each original comment.

Yuri: Monsooned Coffee

Yuri: 전 오늘 먹어본 몬순이라는 원두 맛있네요️ 흙냄새 .. 곰팡이 핀 나무뿌리 향 .. 이 나고 맛은 굉장히 진해요^^ 바디감도 있고
(The coffee bean called “Monsoon” that I tried today is delicious. It smells like dirt.. It has the scent of a tree root that has mold on it.. And the taste is very strong^^ It is full bodied)

Yuri: 드립? 맛도 맛이지만 …향도 너무 좋고 .. 내리는 동안 생각할수 있는 시간도 좋고
(Drip? Taste is taste… The scent is so good.. While it drips, I like that you have time to think)

Yuri: 몰라요.. 꽃향과 산미가 강한건 싫고, 바디감이 풍부한건 좋아요 묵직하고..
(I don’t know.. I don’t like ones with strong floral scents and acidity; I like full-bodied and heavy ones..)

Yuri: 로스팅까지 할줄알면 .. 좋겠다 ^^ 그럼 나중엔 와인도 공부하고
( If I knew how to roast.. I would like that^^ And later, I can study wine too)

Yuri: 요즘엔 초콜릿 안좋아하더라구요.. ^^
(These days I don’t like chocolate.. ^^)
Translator’s Note: In this context, Yuri could be saying “I” or “they”.

Yuri: 맞아요 서걱서걱 .. 소리랑 느낌이랑
That’s right. Crunch crunch.. the sound and feel

Yuri: 뭐어때.. 이건 이런맛이구나 저건 저런맛이구나 알수있는게 좋은거지뭐
(What about it.. It’s a good thing to know this tastes like that and that tastes like that)

Yuri: 무리이므니다 . 나이 가 괜찮으시다면 … 와인 딱 한 잔
(If you are of age… wine. Have one glass.)

Yuri: 오 .. 만델링^^
(Oh… Mandheling^^)
Editor’s Note: Mandheling is a brand of coffee bean.

Yuri: 아.. 생각 못해봤는데 .. 진짜 좋네?!
(Ah.. I haven’t thought of that.. but I really like it?!)

Yuri: ㅎㅎ 우리 탱구도 무조건 커피에 시럽 3번 퐁퐁 .. 전 커피.. ?! 몰라요
(Hehe. Our Taengoo pumps in syrup 3 times no matter what… Coffee before that…?! Don’t know.)

Yuri: 루왁 커피 ^^
(Luwak coffee ^^)
Editor’s Note: Luwak is another coffee been brand.

Yuri: 재밌죠? 와인이랑 커피랑 닮은거 같아요 참 ^^
(Isn’t it fun? I think wine and coffee are similar^^)

Yuri: 오 .. 진짜 그런거 같다..^^ 공부하고 알아가고 음미하고 .. 맞는 내가 좋아하는걸 찾아가고
(Oh… That really must be it..^^ Study it, learn it, examine it.. Find what suits your tastes)

Yuri: 커피마실때..?! 커피만 마시는거같아요^^
(When I drink coffee..?! I think I only drink coffee^^)

Yuri: 귀엽당
(It’s cute)

Yuri: 마끼아또는 몇년전부터 왠지는모르겠지만.. 멀어졌어요 라떼는 , 가끔 가끔 생각날때 마셔요
(I don’t know why but a few years ago, I distanced myself from macchiatos… I drink lattes once in a while when I think of it)

Yuri: 없어요 나 그냥 마시러 다닐래
(I don’t have one. I’ll just drink wherever.)

Yuri: 한정판인지라..이미 세줄은 내손에😬😬😬
( It might be because it’s limited edition… Three lines are already on my hands😬😬😬)

Yuri: 자유형이죠
(It’s freestyle)

Yuri: 언니 한때 밀크티에도 빠졌었어요 밀크티 <3 따듯한 맛 ^^ 여전히 좋아해요
(Unnie, I was into milk teas for a while too. Milk tea <3 A warm taste^^ I still like it)

Yuri: 프라푸치노여름에 자주 마셨어요^^ 라떼? 종류는.. 차이티라떼! 아니면 아메리카노
(I drank frappuccinos often in the summer^^ Latte? Type.. chai tea latte! Or Americano)

Yuri: 맥주는 Ale
(For beer, Ale)

Yuri: 맥주중엔 에일! 맥주보단 소맥 ! 소맥조단 와인 ! 샴페인도 좋구 막걸리도 좋구 칵테일도 좋구 ..
(Of beers, ale! I like so-maek better than beer! I like wine better than so-maek! I like champagne, I like makgeolli, I like cocktails ..)
Translator’s note: “So-maek” is a mix of soju and beer. “Makgeolli” is a Korean rice wine.

Yuri: 우유를 1분정도만 데워서 마셔봐요 ^^
(Try drinking milk after heating it up for about 1 minute ^^)

Yuri: 전 한입 …^^ 1:1
(Give me one sip… ^^ 1:1)

Yuri: 저 위스키는 무서워요
(I’m scared of whiskey)

Yuri: 좋아하는안주는 … 술에 따른 안주선택인지라 … ^^ 선택할수 없으므니다
(Food I like to eat while I drink is… I choose my food based on the alcohol… ^^ So I cannot choose)

Yuri: 나를위한 쉼터 ^^ 좋다 .. 꿈이예요 그런곳 있었으면 좋겠다 .. 우리만의 비밀 아지트 같은 커피 음악 그림 서재 허브 향초
(A resting place for me ^^ I like it… It’s my dream. I wish there was a place like that… Like our secret hideout <3 Coffee, music, art, library, herb, fragrance)

Yuri: 무슨 질문이 이렇습니까?!
(What kind of question is this?!)

Yuri: 미성년자소원 미안해 … 음 .. 언니는 우유도 좋아해^^
(Sorry to underage SONEs… Mmmm.. Unnie likes milk too^^)

Yuri: 미성년자친구들아 우유를 따듯하게 데워서 먹으면 잠이 잘와요.. 빨리 자야지 ..^^
(Underage friends, if you drink warm milk, it’ll help you sleep.. You need to hurry and sleep..^^)

Yuri: 언니 ..와인 얘기하니까 한잔하고 싶어졌어요 .. 갈게요^^ 우리 미성년자소원도 우유 데워서 마시구 푸욱 잘자구.. 추석 연휴도 잘보내요 다들
(Unnie.. now that we’re talking about wine, I want a glass.. I’ll go^^ Our underage SONEs, drink warm milk and sleep well… spend the Chuseok holiday well, everyone)
Translator’s Note: Chuseok is the South Korean Thanksgiving.

Yuri: 절대절대 …! 허브는 .. 초등학교 다녔을때 학겨에서 허브 키우기숙제내줘서 그 때 그 하브 키우면서 즐거운 학교생활했던 좋은 추억이 담겨져있어서 좋아하는거였구요^^ 향신료는 정말 정말 잘 못막어요
(No no…! Herbs because.. When I was in elementary school, we had to grow herbs as homework, and I have really good memories of that time, growing herbs and having fun going to school, so that’s why I like it^^ I’m really, really bad at eating spices)
