J.Y. Park to Release New Single 'WET' and Title Track of the Same Name on July 23
The concise, powerful rhythm of a born dancer - "Just call me JYPapi"
J.Y. Park returns this summer with a scorching new track, 'WET'.
J.Y. Park will release his new single 'WET' and its title track of the same name on July 23, 2026. Since his 1994 debut, he has spent more than three decades as a performer and muse at the forefront of the industry's ever-changing trends, established as an icon of novelty and boundary-pushing artistry - and now he returns with 'WET', the most electrifying song to help fans forget the summer heat. After delivering warmth and comfort with last November's 'Happy Hour (The Commute Home) (With Kwon Jinah),' J.Y. Park now channels the blazing sun and heat of summer into 'WET', once again showcasing the irreplaceable presence of the 'eternal entertainer.' The release - featuring the title track 'WET' and its instrumental version 'WET (Inst.)' - marks his first physical album in about 13 years, making it a meaningful gift for fans.
- A Hot Rhythm for a Hot Summer! J.Y. Park's Fiery Reggaeton Latin Pop Track 'WET', Set to Heat Up WATERBOMB 2026
Known for his rigorous self-discipline in pursuit of flawless stages, as well as his hands-on involvement in planning and producing challenges, J.Y. Park brings an endlessly passionate approach to music and performance - and this time, he's prepared an even hotter rhythm and performance for the hot season. Built on concise yet powerful dance, sound, and expressiveness, 'WET' highlights J.Y. Park's characteristically bold musical choices. The song is designed to move beyond a single artist's performance, inviting everyone who hears it to lose themselves completely in their own groove.
'WET' is a Latin pop dance track built on a reggaeton rhythm layered with an intense synth theme; J.Y. Park wrote the lyrics solely and participated in composing the music. The addictive chorus - "Make me wet!", "Make me sweat!" - lingers in the listener's ear. As his first summer single since 2020's 'When We Disco (Duet with Sunmi),' it raises anticipation for another signature J.Y. Park summer hit.
Notably, the new track has already been generating buzz ahead of release as the main theme song for Korea's leading summer festival, 'WATERBOMB 2026.' Last July, J.Y. Park captivated audiences at 'WATERBOMB Seoul 2025' with striking, unconventional visuals, fashion, and an overwhelming performance. This year, he will take the stage with dancers at both the Seoul and Busan stages of 'WATERBOMB,' delivering the signature groove and dynamic performance of reggaeton to bring the festival atmosphere to its peak.
- The Texture and Temperature of 'WET,' as Only 'Music Icon' J.Y. Park Can Express
The 'WET' music video distills the iconic charm of 'JYPapi' that only J.Y. Park can embody. It features direction that is simple yet powerful, centered on the artist and choreography, paired with a visual aesthetic defined by striking color contrasts. Modern artwork in harmony with a seductive Latin American sound, alongside the physical energy radiating through blazing red walls and shimmering heat haze, conveys the song's mood in an intuitive way. The performance builds steadily toward the back half, reaching its peak during the dance break for maximum immersion.
The notes and language that make up the music, the lines and texture that make up the dance, and the passion that makes up J.Y. Park himself all converge on stage to complete the hottest performance of the summer.
