JY Park, serious eyes... A force that makes it seem like he shouldn‘t whine

JY Park showed off facial expressions reminiscent of a professional actor in the teaser for his new song ‘Easy Lover (Tell Me No)’.

JY Park will make a comeback on November 4 with the new digital single ‘Easy Lover’ and the title track ‘Easy Lover (Tell Me No)’. ‘Easy Lover (Tell Me No)’ is a synth-pop song that is reminiscent of the 80s, and is Park Jin-young’s first new song in about a year since ‘Changed Man’. It is also highly anticipated as a new masterpiece by Park Jin-young, who is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut.

Park Jin-young worked with ‘trending actors’ Cha Joo-young and Lee Yi-kyung in the music video for the new song ‘Easy Lover (Tell Me No)’. In the teaser released on the 30th, Park Jin-young radiates charisma with his intense gaze and a bottle of whiskey in his hand. In another teaser with Cha Joo-young and Lee Yi-kyung, the subtle eye contact between the three created an unusual atmosphere.

Following the release of his new song, Park Jin-young will meet his fans in person through his solo concert, ‘Still JYP’, from December 27th to 29th at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. Park Jin-young has decorated the finale of the year with unique concept year-end concerts every year, such as ‘Bad Party’, ‘NO.1 X 50’, ‘GROOVE BACK’, and ‘80’s Night‘. He plans to once again prove his status as the ’Eternal Ddanddara‘ and the ’Emperor of Year-End Performances‘, especially in this concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut.

Meanwhile, Park Jin-young has been active in various ways this year. In the September Chuseok special KBS 2TV grand project ’Ddanddara JYP‘, as a singer and Asia‘s top producer, he captivated viewers with a vivid live performance of his hit songs, as well as a joint stage with junior K-pop representative artists that he produced himself. Starting November 3, he will be looking for a versatile gem of the entertainment industry, the ’Ddanddara‘, as a judge on KBS 2TV’s new audition program ’The Ddanddara‘.

Park Jin-young‘s new digital single ’Easy Lover‘ and the title song ’Easy Lover (Tell Me No)‘ will be available on various music sites on Monday, November 4 at 6 PM.
