Jo Jung-suk Returns to Music With New Digital Single
South Korean actor and singer Jo Jung-suk returned to the music scene on May 28 with a new digital single, marking his first release in nearly two years.
His agency, Jam Entertainment, first announced the scheduled comeback via official social media channels on May 14 and released a teaser image to mark the countdown to the launch. The photo evokes a warm, peaceful atmosphere, showing Jo relaxing in a cozy-looking camper van at sunset with an acoustic guitar in hand. The image sparked curiosity and anticipation about the song’s vibe.
The release comes about one year and nine months after Jo’s first full-length album, “Jo Jung-suk,” which was released in 2024. Jo directly participated in writing the lyrics for the new track, adding a personal touch and sincerity to the project. He collaborated with the indie pop duo Rocoberry, known for creating popular Korean drama soundtracks and hit songs.
Although widely recognized for his acting career, Jo has also earned praise for his singing ability through musicals and television drama soundtracks. He achieved major success in 2020 with “Aloha” from the hit drama “Hospital Playlist,” which topped music charts and became one of the year’s most popular songs.
