In 2010, Yura became a member of the K-pop girl group Girl's Day, where she and Lee Hye-ri replaced two of the former members, Ji-in and Ji-sun, who left after having been with the group for two months. Dream Tea promoted Girl's Day before their debut with the creation of an official Fan Café, a YouTube channel, and Twitter accounts for the group and each of its members. The group also conducted a flash mob dance before the debut in the commercial and entertainment districts of Seoul, gaining much interest.
2012–2014: Acting debut and collaborations
In 2012, Yura made her acting debut through Sohu TV's Chinese drama Secret Angel, where she played the role of Yu-bin. She then collaborated with her label-mate Jevice with their single "I'll Love You". Yura also participated as a cameo role of Lee Eun-yeong, who was the fan of Kang Tae-jun in SBS's series To the Beautiful You.
In 2014, Yura starred in the music video of Wheesung's "Night and Day" along with C.A.P of Teen Top. She then became one of the official couples for the variety show We Got Married, where she was paired with model turned actor Hong Jong-hyun. Additionally, Yura serves as the MC for joint Korean-Chinese audition program 'Super Idol'.

Lawsuit
On November 8, 2010, Yura's ex-management company Action Music Entertainment filed an injunction against Yura, stopping her from signing a second contract with Dream Tea Entertainment. In response, representatives of Dream Tea stated Action Music had violated contractual terms. The lawsuit was pursued when Action Music insisted that they had a video of Yura's unacceptable behavior. On January 20, 2011, the court ruled in Yura's favor.
