Park Jin-young Releases 'WET', His First Summer Song in 6 Years, and Heads to Waterbomb

Park Jin-young, the founder of JYP Entertainment who has grown it into a leading domestic agency, will release his new single 'WET' on the afternoon of the 23rd at 6 PM. This is his first hot summer song in six years since his 2020 duet with Sunmi, 'When We Disco', and serves as the main theme song for 'Waterbomb 2026'.

Park Jin-young debuted in 1994 with 'Don't Leave Me' and quickly rose to the top of the music industry, hitting numerous hits since then. As a singer-songwriter and producer who has written and planned his own songs since his debut, he has birthed countless K-pop stars through JYP, established in 2001, starting with Bae (Jung Ji-hoon) and extending to Twice, Stray Kids, and NMIXX. Although 32 years have passed since his debut and he is now in his mid-50s, age is just a number to him. While he holds a prestigious position leading a top agency and serving as the Chairman of the Culture Exchange Committee—the first entertainer to hold a ministerial-level post—he remains on stage singing and dancing, which is why he is called the 'eternal entertainer'.

His dedication to various roles with undying passion and his ability to deliver the best results make him seem like he has 'two hearts'. Park Jin-young's presence on stage is not merely a nostalgic hobby. Known for his strict self-management, his vocal and dance skills have not rusted even as he entered his 50s. This is why he excites audiences more than anyone else at 'Waterbomb', which is mostly filled with idol stars, and why his new song, released after a slightly longer cycle, draws so much anticipation.

Park Jin-young releases his new single 'WET' today (the 23rd). Although he has been releasing new songs every year since the 2020s to clarify his identity as a singer, this is his first summer release since his 2020 duet 'When We Disco' with Sunmi, nearly six years ago. Furthermore, this song is the main theme for the domestic representative summer festival, 'Waterbomb 2026'.

In the recently released 'WET' teaser images, Park Jin-young boasts a physique that defies time. His re-sharpened amazing physique and the sensual groove emanating from it reflect his sincerity towards music and the stage. Every year, singers with hot bodies become surprise stars through 'Waterbomb'. While one might wonder if a mid-50s singer fits in, Park Jin-young is hotter than anyone else. In the teaser images, he shows a bold pose with his arms raised and a firm body, embodying the essence of a 'hot body' perfectly suited for the summer season.
