Choi Yu-ree
Choi Yu-ree (Korean: 최유리; born November 24, 1998) is a South Korean singer-songwriter. Choi is known as the winner of the 29th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest in 2018 and as one of the 23rd CJ Azit TuneUp Musicians. Her most famous single[citation needed] is Wish, original soundtrack of Netflix original series Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021).
Choi was born on November 24, 1998, in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, South Korea, and raised there.
Choi attended a piano academy from a young age and naturally began singing while playing the piano. When she was in her third year at Pyeongchang High School, her mother suggested that she go to a music university. Choi entered an entrance exam hagwon and learned jazz piano and music theory.
Choi moved to Seoul when she was accepted to the Department of Applied Music at Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts. She graduated with a Bachelor in Composition.
In 2018, Choi competed in the 29th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest. This competition is nicknamed the 'star making' contest due to its success in launching the careers of many accomplished musicians, such as Bang Si-hyuk, Yoo Hee-Yeol, Kim Yeon-woo, Jo Kyu-chan and Sweet Sorrow. Winning the grand prize (대상) with her self-written piece "Complaint" (푸념), Choi jump-started her career as a singer-songwriter.
"Actually, I participated in the Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest in 2017. At that time, I thought I would gain experience. But once I experienced it, I strongly felt that I wanted to try again while preparing to promote and release an album. So in 2018, I prepared thoroughly and made music with my own color, and eventually won the grand prize with the song 'Complaint'. I received the grand prize, after I decided to do official activities (as singer), so I was calm and thought that the first start was so good."
On June 1, 2019, "Complaint" (푸념) was released as the main song in the 29th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest Album. Choi was only 22 years old at the time, so she became seen as one of the best prospects in the pop and indie music market at that time.
In the same year, Choi signed with Shofar Music as a solo artist. Choi chose this label because she used to perform regularly at 'Café Shofar', ever since her first year of college. Every Friday evening, acoustic performances by musicians have been held at Café Shofar, run by artist-type label Shofar Music. More than 100 teams of musicians have participated in this event. On October 24, 2019, her song "Regret" (후회) was released as the title track of the compilation album 'In Bloom' Cafe Chopard Compilation Vol.1. In the album, Choi became one of the representative 'Café Shofar' musicians, along with three bands, Electric Mattress, Yirang and Dali. In 2019, Choi featured on fellow indie singer-songwriter Seong In-chang's song "Letter" (편지).
