About Yuri

1) Yuri (born Yuridia Valenzuela Canseco on January 6, 1964) is a famous Mexican singer and actress born in the state of Veracruz. At a very young age, Yuri showed artistic interest and she was accepted to a famous Russian ballet. However, she wasn't allowed to join because her parents were afraid of the prospect of little Yuri living in a foreign country. When Yuri was 12, she participated in two famous Mexican television children's shows for Televisa, including the Cepillin show. In the late 1970s, she released her first album and represented Mexico in the Festival Oti, reaching second place and winning an award as the best newcomer to the contest. In 1980, she was signed to a contract by Gamma Records, and her career took off, becoming widely known in Spain, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, and many other hispanic countries. But before she gained international superstar status, in 1982, she participated again in the Festival OTI, earning a fourth place. During the rest of the 1980s, Yuri's albums often reached the top, earning her over 100 gold albums in Mexico. One of Yuri's most memorable hits of the late 1980s is the disco-styled "Que Te Pasa." In 1994, Yuri and Chayanne were the stars of the Volver a Empezar telenovela, and in 1995, she married a Chilean musician. Later, she became a born-again Christian and has made Christian albums. Although there was some controversy as she decided to sing non Christian music again. In 2005, she was chosen to host the new TV season of a talent contest for newcoming singers, Objetivo Fama that began in 2004. Yuri was a judge on the second season of Cantando Por un Sueño. She also was a judge during its first season and performed several times on the show. In 2006, Yuri released an album with a Mexican singer, Mijares, called Acompañame. Its title track, Acompañame, is a sentimental romantic ballad. Many call Yuri "La Madonna Mexicana," i.e. "The Mexican Madonna" (although this characterization has also been applied to Gloria Trevi.) 2) Yuri (ゆーり) is one of the most popular SNS creators in Japan, with a total of nearly 7.5 million followers on SNS. She is known for her “messed up voice” and charming character that attracts people. In April 2024, she released her first original song Heart 111 with Sasuke Haraguchi as the music producer. Within 4 months of its release, the music video had received more than 6 million views. Yuri's own postings have led to a worldwide outpouring of videos imitating the choreography and animated music videos, and the number of posts using the song on TikTok and YouTube Shorts has reached approximately 17,000, with the total number of views surpassing 200 million, a record that is still growing. 3) YURI (유리) Birth Name: Kwon Yuri (권유리) Date of Birth: December 5, 1989 Position: Supporting Vocalist/Lead Dancer Yuri first joined the label when she took 1st place in the 2001 1st SM Youth Best Dancer Contest, and is a member of Korean group 소녀시대 (Girls’ Generation).
