Multi-talented artist Jo Yuri is setting hearts racing once again with the official announcement of her long-awaited comeback.
Returning to the music scene after nearly two years, Jo Yuri will drop her third mini-album Episode 25 on July 14 at 6 PM KST through major online platforms.
Teasing fans with concept photos and motion posters released on June 30 and July 1, Jo Yuri showcased her dual charm with images that range from breezy and refreshing to dreamy and introspective. Her expressive eyes and effortless style perfectly embody the shift in seasons, while playful details like kitschy stickers and vibrant lighting add a whimsical edge to her visuals. The matching sounds previewed in the motion posters only deepened curiosity, amping up the anticipation.
Titled Episode 25, the album captures Jo Yuri’s musical evolution and fearless experimentation. The title track “Goodbye Now!” features lyrics penned by Jo Yuri herself alongside best-selling author Park Han-pyeong (I Have Severe Emotional Ups and Downs), with hitmaker Park Moon-chi taking the reins on composition and arrangement, promising a track filled with sincerity and fresh sonic appeal.
To build even more momentum, Jo Yuri will pre-release a track titled “Time Between Dogs and Cats” on July 7. The song, first unveiled at her fan concert in April, has already received glowing reactions, sparking excitement for its official release.
Beyond music, Jo Yuri has also made waves as an actress. She recently turned heads with her role as Jun-hee in Squid Game: Season 3, released globally on Netflix on June 27. Her success in both music and acting continues to prove her status as a true all-rounder entertainer.
With Episode 25, Jo Yuri is ready to mark a new chapter — one that blends artistic growth, emotional depth, and her signature charm. Fans can expect a colorful and heartfelt return from one of K-pop’s most versatile rising stars.
