Korean traditional musician Kim Joo-ri has joined Number One & M.

On the morning of the 23rd, Number One & M said, “We signed an exclusive contract with singer and Korean traditional musician Kim Joo-ri. We will not spare our full support so that Kim Joo-ri can receive much love from the public. We ask for your much support.”

Kim Joo-ri is a Korean traditional music prodigy who has been recognized for her talent since childhood. At the age of 10, she performed a pansori performance for 9 hours and 20 minutes, setting a Guinness World Record for the youngest and longest performance. Kim Joo-ri, who studied pansori under many famous singers including Oh Jung-sook, Kim Soo-yeon, Park Chun-maeng, and Han Seung-seok, made herself known by appearing on Mnet‘s ‘I Can See Your Voice 5’.

In 2021, Kim Joo-ri, who was recognized for her solid traditional Korean music skills and her unique style of expressing crossover, a genre that mixes popular music, by making it to the TOP4 of JTBC’s ‘Pungryu Daejang - War of Hip Singers’, plans to show the public her diverse charms starting with this exclusive contract.

Kim Joo-ri said through her agency, “I am happy to be with Number One & M, a reliable partner, as I am about to make a new start in 2025. I will work hard to show you various sides of myself in the future.”

Number One & M is home to singer Ahn Yul, who recently gained attention through SBS‘s ‘Universe League’, and actors Yoon Chang and Seo Kwang-jae.
