Ryu introduced the company as "specialized in interior construction and high-end solid wood furniture production," adding, "They also operate their own woodworking workshop to process solid wood."
She explained, "Wood as a material is nature itself, and I feel comfortable when there is a lot of wood in a resting space. Recently, following the sites, I have been seeing how the combination of interior design and solid wood makes living spaces more comfortable and luxurious," and added, "Please contact me, and I will sincerely consult with you."
Ryu further stated, "I still keep up with the news and stay interested in the world around me, but now I want to stop changing jobs and positions and live diligently."
After graduating from Ewha Womans University with a degree in sociology, Ryu got a job at a game company and left after attempting to establish a labor union within the company.
She then worked as a labor activist before joining the Justice Party in 2017. Ahead of the 21st general election, she was assigned number one on the Justice Party’s proportional representation primary list. When the party won five proportional seats, she was elected as the youngest member of the 21st National Assembly.
In December 2023, Ryu, along with former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, formed the youth opinion group within the party called "Third Power" and declared the founding of the "New Choice" party. In January of last year, she resigned from the Justice Party and gave up her parliamentary seat.
In February of the same year, she joined the Reform New Party and received the nomination for the Seongnam Bundang-gap district in Gyeonggi Province for the 22nd general election but withdrew her candidacy shortly before the registration deadline.
