But... what if I told you she's actually a "fake person" created entirely by AI? Would your jaw drop?
That's right, you didn't misread! Yuri is just that kind of magical existence. Just a few weeks after her debut, the views on her music video shot up past ten million as if on a rocket, and then she immediately landed a collaboration with the major international brand, The North Face. That's faster than taking a high-speed train!
Yuri's appearance has caused a huge stir online, with everyone asking, "How on earth was this made?" So today, let's have a casual chat about the buzz around Yuri's rise to fame and also get some inside tips on what it takes to create such a cool AI spokesperson!

Who is the AI singer Yuri?
Simply put, Yuri is a virtual artist launched by the Japan-based team "AnotherBall." And the master behind the scenes is an incredible artist named Hanqing. You can think of Yuri as the "artistic crystallization" jointly created by this master and a group of powerful AIs.
The Debut MV "SURREAL" That Shocked the World
When Yuri's first music video, "SURREAL," went live, it went viral almost instantly, with everyone sharing it. Why was it so popular? There are a few reasons:
- Terrifyingly Realistic: Honestly, if no one told you, you would most likely think she was a real person while watching the video. The texture of her skin, the way her hair moves, and the play of light and shadow as she dances—the level of detail is mind-boggling.
- That Smile is Illegal! The virtual humans we've seen in the past often had somewhat stiff expressions. But Yuri is different. Her signature smile is so warm it could melt icebergs, completely lacking any "fake" feeling. It just puts you in a good mood.
- A Good Song is King: No matter how good-looking she is, it's useless if the song isn't good. "SURREAL" itself is a super catchy pop dance track that makes you want to nod your head and tap your feet. This made people want to watch it again and again, turning them into dedicated fans.
It's said that Yuri's production process is incredibly complex and can't be done just by pressing a few buttons. The team mixed various top-tier AI tools, much like cooking, blending the best ingredients (AI technologies) and then seasoning them with artistic taste to serve up a "masterpiece" like Yuri.
From the Screen to the Market: Yuri and The North Face's Win-Win Collaboration
If the success of "SURREAL" demonstrated AI's potential in artistic creation, then Yuri's collaboration with The North Face has thoroughly verified the immense commercial value of AI idols.
Just three weeks after her debut, Yuri appeared in a new video wearing clothing from The North Face. This wasn't just simple product placement, but a meticulously planned brand marketing campaign. In the video, Yuri shared her feelings about her debut in fluent English, and her natural demeanor and delicate emotional expression once again amazed fans and the market.
Why is this collaboration so significant?
- Breaking the Boundary Between Virtual and Reality: Traditionally, brand ambassadors needed to be real public figures. The North Face's bold choice this time shows that mainstream brands are ready to embrace virtual idols and see them as a new medium for effectively communicating with Gen Z consumers.
- Refreshing the Brand Image: As a long-established outdoor brand, The North Face has successfully injected fresh blood—youth, technology, and trendiness—into its brand by collaborating with the cutting-edge AI idol Yuri. This has attracted the attention of numerous tech enthusiasts and young people.
Yuri's creation integrates multiple advanced AI generative model technologies. This is not just a crossover of music and visual arts, but also a symbol of the infinite possibilities born from the collision of technology and human creativity. Yuri is not just an "AI singer"; she is a cultural symbol, heralding the future of the entertainment industry.

How to Create Your Own AI Influencer Unveiling the Three Core Keys
Seeing Yuri's huge success, are you also excited about the idea of creating an AI idol or brand spokesperson? Just like a beginner needs a guide for a new game, creating a successful AI virtual person also requires mastering the right "mindset" and "tools." Below, we break down the three core keys behind it:
1. Create Character Consistency
This is the cornerstone of creating any virtual character. No matter how exquisite the AI-generated images or videos are, if "Yuri" has monolids in the first video but double eyelids in the second, the fans' sense of trust and immersion will instantly collapse.
- The Challenge: The core of AI image generation tools (like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) is "randomness"; each generated result is slightly different. Getting the AI to consistently maintain the same facial features, hairstyle, spirit, and body shape for a character across thousands of computations is a major technical difficulty.
2. Create Varied Camera Styles While Maintaining Protagonist Consistency
A compelling video can never be just one long shot. You need to switch between long shots, close-ups, extreme close-ups, different outfits, and different scenes to create a sense of story and visual impact.
- The Challenge: This places higher demands on "character consistency." When the camera pulls back for a wide shot, Yuri's full-body appearance needs to perfectly match her facial close-up. When she changes into a The North Face jacket, the texture of the jacket, the position of the logo, and the way it looks on "her" must all remain highly consistent and realistic.
3. Create Unique Music and Sync it with the Lead Vocal and Lip Movements
For an AI singer, music is the soul, and the perfect synchronization of sound and picture is the key to bringing that soul to life.
- The Challenge: First, you need to create a memorable song that fits the character's persona. Next, you need a unique "AI voice." Finally, and most difficultly, you must perfectly match the character's lip movements (Visemes) with every lyric and every syllable's pronunciation.
