J.Y. Park to Release New Single 'Happy Hour' Featuring Kwon Jin-ah

J.Y. Park is set to enhance your commute playlist with his latest release.

On November 5th at 6 PM, J.Y. Park will drop his new single 'Happy Hour' along with the title track 'Happy Hour (퇴근길) (With Kwon Jin-ah)'. This marks his first release in about a year following the energetic 2024 hit 'Easy Lover (아니라고 말해줘)'. The new song is a much-anticipated ballad, written and composed by Park himself. It blends warm country pop vibes with the unique musical style of emotional solo artist Kwon Jin-ah, creating a fresh musical synergy.

On November 4th, J.Y. Park heightened anticipation by releasing a teaser for the music video on his official social media channels. In the teaser, Park transforms into an office worker at a company with the motto 'Praise is performance. Humans are goals.' He humorously portrays a relatable character, yawning widely during work hours and displaying a presentation slide with a typo 'TANK YOU' instead of 'THANK YOU'. His realistic humor shines through as he claps with a reluctant expression at a colleague's achievement and fiddles with his shoelaces to avoid calculations. The music video also features a unique visual style shot with a camcorder and showcases a surprising chemistry with Kwon Jin-ah.

'Happy Hour (퇴근길) (With Kwon Jin-ah)' captures the moment of plugging in earphones and turning on a personal playlist to unwind after a long day. As a beloved figure in the music industry for over 30 years, J.Y. Park continues to share the joys and sorrows of life with his audience. Through this new song, he offers healing and encouragement to those leading busy lives.

In addition to the single release, J.Y. Park will host a solo concert titled 'HAPPY HOUR' on December 13th and 14th at Kyung Hee University's Peace Hall in Seoul. The concert promises a parade of hit songs and spectacular performances, aiming to elevate the audience's happiness and wrap up the year on a high note.
