Jo Yuri’s Pre-Release Single Drops Ahead of Mini Album
K-pop all-rounder Jo Yuri returns with the charming pre-release track ‘The Moment of a Dog and a Cat’, officially released on July 7 at 6 PM KST through various music platforms. The song provides a sneak peek into her upcoming third mini album, ‘Episode 25’.
A Blend of Synth-Pop Emotion and Delicate Vocals
Produced by multi-talented singer-songwriter Gureum, the track delivers a synth-pop vibe that pairs his smooth keyboard melodies with Jo Yuri’s expressive vocals. The lyrics capture the emotional push-and-pull of affection—switching between the playful warmth of a dog and the soft aloofness of a cat, revealing an endearing side of love and vulnerability.
Aesthetic Teasers and Thoughtful Symbolism
Prior to the single’s release, Yuri piqued fan excitement through her official SNS accounts by sharing two versions of a video titled “VHS Diary: Just a Glimpse”. With a retro lens filter and nostalgic vibe, the clips depict a dreamy side of the singer, visually complementing the song’s sentimental tone.
The video’s concept draws inspiration from the French phrase “heure entre chien et loup”, which describes the ambiguous hour of twilight when dogs and wolves become indistinguishable. One teaser was even released precisely at 7:57 PM—the symbolic time of sunset—adding another layer of thoughtful artistry.
