Singer and actor Park Yoo-chun has announced the upcoming release of a new song.

On the 16th, through an update shared in Japanese, Park Yoo-chun said, "I really want to meet you all on September 22nd. I feel like I can finally explain what I've been pondering about my life for a long time in Japanese." He added, "I should go to bed early, but I'm working on a new song because there's something I want to say."

Earlier, on the 5th, Park Yoo-chun shared his recent life in Japan via his personal account. He posted a video showing himself visiting a karaoke bar in Japan. He spent a joyful time with friends, singing Japanese songs. Notably, Park Yoo-chun drew attention with his bleached hair and arms covered in tattoos.

Meanwhile, Park Yoo-chun was arrested in 2019 on charges of using methamphetamine and was sentenced to 10 months in prison, suspended for two years. At the time, he denied the drug use allegations and stated that he would retire from the entertainment industry, but the allegations were later confirmed as true, drawing widespread criticism.

Additionally, it was revealed that Park Yoo-chun had failed to pay a total of 409 million won in taxes, including capital gains tax, since 2016. His name appeared on the National Tax Service's list of high-value habitual tax defaulters published in December 2023. He also received a court ruling ordering him to compensate his agency 500 million won for engaging in independent entertainment activities despite violating a court injunction.

Following this, Park Yoo-chun's current agency stated, "The legal dispute with the former agency has been resolved. We plan to fully support his future entertainment activities and will actively promote various endeavors including album releases, concerts, fan meetings, and TV appearances."

However, Park Yoo-chun's former agency, LogbookTV, recently issued a formal statement via its official SNS: "We have sent a notarized letter demanding the other party and their legal representatives immediately correct false statements and issue an official apology. The cases involving Park Yoo-chun, his younger brother Park Yu-hwan, and Kinda Entertainment were referred to the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecution Service on June 15 and are currently under investigation by the Prosecution Service, with criminal proceedings ongoing."

Regarding the high-value tax default issue specifically, they asserted, "It is also false that all matters have been resolved and his name has been removed from the list of high-value defaulters. As of July 9, the National Tax Service's public data still lists him as a high-value habitual defaulter."
