Early life and education[edit]

Choi was born on November 24, 1998, in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, South Korea and raised there.[7] Choi went to a piano academy since she was little and naturally singing while playing the piano. She was in humanities class in Pyeongchang High School. When she was in her third year of high school, her mother suggested that she go to music university. Choi entered an entrance exam cram school and learned jazz piano and music theory. Choi moved to Seoul when She was accepted in Department of Applied Music of Donga University of the Arts. She graduated with Bachelor in Composition Major.[8]

Career[edit]

2017–2020: Career beginnings[edit]

In 2018, Choi competed in the 29th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest. This competition is called 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 a daesang (grand prize) with her self-written piece "Complaint" (푸념), Choi jump-started her career as a singer-songwriter.[3][4]

"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."

—Choi on Winning Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest (2020)[9]

On June 1, 2019, "Complaint" (푸념) was released as main song in the 29th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest Album. Choi was only 22 years old when winning this big award, so the music industry saw Choi as one of the best prospects in the pop and indie music market at that time.[9]

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.[9] 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 representative of 'Café Shofar' musicians, along with three bands, Electric Mattress, Yirang and Dali.[10] In 2019, Choi featured on fellow indie singer-songwriter Seong In-chang's song "Letter" (편지).

At the beginning of 2020, Choi took part in the Shofar musicians' collaboration single "Awkward" (어색한 사이). It was released on January 9, 2020, as title track of the album Shofar Music Compilation Vol.3, Awkward relationship (쇼파르뮤직 컴필레이션 Vol.3 '어색한 사이).[11]

2020: Official debut[edit]

On February 24, 2020, Choi made her official debut with the release of her first extended play (EP) Shape. Composed of a total of six songs, Shape is an work that attempts various genres with the theme of Choi's daily thoughts and actions. The title track Shape is a ballad that mixes popular melodies with traditional indie music style. Two other songs, "Warm-hearted" and "Stay" are harmonization of folk and pop music, and 'Asking everyday' is a pop song with jazzy sensibility. Her song from previously released omnibus albums "Regret" and acoustic song "Complaint" (푸념) were also included.[9][12]

The title song 'Circle' was released by Choi through SoundCloud, and many music fans requested an official sound source. After the release of this album, Choi said that her fans responded enthusiastically. She said with a smile, "I wondered whether my fans had waited this long."[13][14]

On the November 9, 2021, IU recommended two songs from Shape via her official Instagram Story. IU was posting a warm message saying, "Please warm up your heart and go" alongside a streaming proof shot of tracks, "Warm-hearted" and "Stay" This sparked curiosity from many IU' fans into streaming both songs and they became viral on SoundCloud. Choi uploaded a screenshot to her Instagram story along with the message, "Clear love to all of you who like it," and thanked the fans and IU.[15]

On June 4, 2020, Choi released her first digital single "Home" (동네), an indie/folk genre song that expresses the warmth of memories of her neighborhood.[16] A few months later, on September 20, 2020, her second digital single "Reply" (답장) was released.[17]

Choi released her second extended play (EP), "Only Us" (우리만은') on December 15, 2021. The album contains a total of six songs, including the title track of the same name as her album. On the EP, "Only Us" is a song that expresses the wish that no matter what wounds or painful things happen, we would like to stay here as free as we are. She added that it was also a song that reflects the theme of the album. In addition, the album contains four new songs including 'Pond', 'Old Rain' and 'Talk to Myself'. "Home" (동네) and "Reply" (답장), which were released as singles in June and September respectively.[18]

2021–present: Muse On, first solo concert, CJ Azit TuneUp and soundtrack songs[edit]

On April 13, 2021, Choi released her third extended play (EP), "Two" (둘이). This album contains a total of five songs, including the title track "Two" (둘이). The other four songs are "Still", "Catch the Tag", "Fly" and "Love".[19]

Choi Yu-ree's first solo concert Prologue was held at Sangsang Madang Live Hall in Hongdae, Seoul on May 15 and 16, 2021.[20] Ticket power was high because all tickets were sold out at the same time as the tickets opened at 6 pm KST on April 19, 2021.[21]

In July 2021, Choi was selected as one of 15 Musician of the Year of 'Muse On 2021' (뮤즈온 2021), a representative domestic musician nurturing project. 'Muse On' (뮤즈온) is The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Creative Content Agency representative musician development project that discovers promising musicians in Korea and helps them grow through various online and offline support programs. A total of 418 teams applied in 2021. As part of this project, Choi's third digital single "Let's Stay Well" (잘 지내자, 우리) was released on July 14, 2021. It is also Choi's first remake album, where she rearranged the original song of singer Dark, lyricist Sung Yong-wook, composed by Jo Eun-young and Sung Yong-work.[22]

The online performance 'MUSE ON Day' featured 3 teams of selected new musicians and 4 teams of guest musicians, and was held five times from July until November. Choi performed in MUSE ON Day No. 2 with Yunsae and Wi Ah-young on August 21, 2021.[23]

In the second half of 2021, Choi finally had an opportunity to do her first television soundtrack. Her song Wish was played as background music in the epilogue of episodes 5 and 6 of the highly successful drama series Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. The song was praised as perfectly matching the mood of the scenes, with a great success in maximizing viewers' immersion. Choi, who sung, wrote and composed the song herself, explained that Wish was "a song that contains the heart of wanting to love and be loved in poverty, taking lightly the feelings that become heavy because of love." Stone Music Entertainment released Wish as single and instrumental track on the Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha OST Part 4, album on September 25, 2021.[24] With the song, Choi was nominated in Best OST at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[25]

On October 5, 2021, Choi released her fourth extended play (EP), "Journey" (여정) with double title track songs, "Live goes on" (살아간다) and "Took" (). The other three songs are, "The End" (), "Who are you?" (당신은 누구시길래) and "Dejavu" (데자뷰).[26] Just few months later, Choi made a surprise new digital single album "Journey Epilogue" (여정 에필로그) on December 16, 2021. The concept was taken from the conclusion of the previous EP "Journey" (여정) and includes a new song, "Enable" (여정).[27]

In 2022, Choi Yu-ree was selected as one of six final winner of the 23rd Tune-Up musicians by CJ Azit[6] with fellow musicians Kwak Tae-pung, Kim Jae-hyung, Yoon Ji-young, ID:Earth and Off the menu.[5] From 727 musicians teams applied, 73 teams were selected in the first screening.[28]

In March 2022, Choi contributed to the soundtrack for the JTBC television series Thirty-Nine with the song "That's All" (이것밖에). The OST captures the heartbreaking feeling of Jung Chan-young (Jeon Mi-do), who's terminally ill and slowly preparing for a farewell with the people she loves. It makes people realize the importance of the present together with family and friends. Choi commented, "I can only do this all the time, but in fact, that's all I am, so it's no different from giving my all."[29]

On May 3 2022, Choi collaborated with Han Jae-wan, a composer from O'PEN music,[A] in Shared Office Hookup OST "No Encore Request". The song was remake of song released in 2012 by indie band Broccoly, you too?. Expectations are high in that Choi Yu-ri's emotional voice and Lofi sound are combined to be reborn as a new version.[30]

On May 26, 2022, Choi released her fifth mini-album, "To the Other Side of Greed". Five songs were recorded that contain Choi Yuri's warm story of her past regrets and her efforts to escape from her greed.[31]

Choi contributed to the soundtrack for the television series drama Shooting Stars with single "Won't give up". Shooting Stars OST Part 5 was released on June in various online music sites. On top of the emotional acoustic sound, the lyrics seem to warmly soothe the tired heart of life and give listeners comfort.[32]

In September 2021, Choi participated in the soundtrack for the television series drama If You Wish Upon Me with single "I'll Hide You in My Arms". The OST is a pop ballad song that begins with a gentle piano performance and continues with a heart-touching guitar performance. It contains a message of consolation that embraces the pain in the heart, telling all those who are going through hard days every day that they are never alone, and saying, 'It's okay if you don't do well, everything will pass'.[33]

Through her various television soundtrack releases, Choi began to gain popularity.
