Veteran artist and producer J.Y. Park is making a long-awaited return with a new digital single titled 'Happy Hour', set to be released on December 5, 2025 KST. The track features acclaimed singer-songwriter Kwon Jin Ah, marking the first musical collaboration between the two artists.
JYP Entertainment unveiled the news on October 28 via its official social media accounts, alongside a teaser image showcasing J.Y. Park in a typical office setting — dozing off at his desk or casting a wary glance at a colleague. The visuals humorously depict the everyday fatigue of corporate workers, suggesting the song’s thematic focus on workplace monotony and the small joys that follow.
“Happy Hour” marks J.Y. Park’s first release in nearly a year since his 2024 single “Easy Lover.” While known for his iconic solo tracks and hit-making for other artists, this upcoming single introduces a new vocal synergy through the inclusion of Kwon Jin Ah, known for her soulful tone and emotional depth.
The collaboration is highly anticipated for blending Park’s signature groove and retro-inspired sensibility with Kwon’s rich and introspective vocals.
JYP Entertainment shared that the single is expected to resonate with listeners during the holiday season, stating:
“Through ‘Happy Hour,’ we hope to capture the relatable sentiments of the year-end hustle and offer a soundtrack that accompanies listeners on their way home from work. It’s a song made to comfort and entertain.”
The single is being positioned as a go-to track for after-work playlists, offering an enjoyable mix of lightness and reflection—perfect for the closing chapters of the year.
