JO YURI (조유리) is a South Korean singer-songwriter under WAKEONE. Her career started on the survival show Produce 48, where she ranked third in the finale, earning her a spot in the debut line up of the group to be formed from the show.
She debuted as the main vocalist of IZ*ONE in October 2018 with “La Vie En Rose.” She promoted with IZ*ONE until the end of their contract two and a half years later. Despite protests from fans, the group disbanded in April 2021. During this time, Yuri has gained a reputation as one of the best vocalists in the fourth generation of K-Pop, hitting incredible high notes in their title tracks from “FIESTA” to “Panorama.” Furthermore, she produced “언젠가 우리의 밤도 지나가겠죠 (SOMEDAY),” a ballad on BLOOM*IZ that she sung with members Choi Yena and Kim Chaewon. Outside the group, Yuri sang two OSTs: “My Love” and the all-English “STORY OF US.”
Yuri officially debuted as a solo artist with her single album GLASSY, named as her name ‘유리’ (yuri) means ‘glass’ in Korean.
