Early life
Kim Ah-Young was born on November 6, 1992 in Ulsan, South Korea. She had attended Ulsan Art High School, where she served as a dance major. [1] Yura is currently attending Dongduk Women's University, alongside fellow group member Minah.[2]
Career
2010-present: Girls Day
In 2010, Yura became one of the official members of the Korean pop group Girl's Day, where she and Lee Hyeri replaced two of the former members, Jiin and Jisun, who left after having been with the group for two months.[3] She served as the main rapper of the group, as well as being one of the sub-vocalists.
2012-present: Solo activities
In 2012, Yura made her acting debut when she was cast a role on Sohu TV's Chinese drama Secret Angel, where she played the role of Yubin.[4] She then collaborated with her label-mate Jevice with their single "I Want to Love Now".[5]

Lawsuit
On November 8, 2010, Yura's ex-management company Action Music Entertainment sued Yura for breaking her contract with their company. Yura was supposed to become a member of 4 girl group under Action Music Entertainment, prior to joining Girl's Day. The 4 member girl group under Action Music Entertainment was then halted indefinitely. According to Yura's side, she was not supported by Action Music Entertainment and through due process her contract was canceled. The lawsuit became messy with Action Music Entertainment insisting they had a video of Yura's unacceptable behavior. On January 20, 2011, the court ruled in Yura's favor.[8]
