A Christmas Gift for Fans
Park Yuchun, the former K-pop idol turned solo artist, is making a splash in Japan once again. Following his Japanese solo debut in December last year, Yuchun is now releasing his very first Japanese photobook—just in time for the holidays. The photobook hits shelves on December 25, 2025, and it’s more than just pretty pictures.
Shot in Chiba and Okinawa—And Straight from the Heart
Titled simply as “PARK YUCHUN 日本1st写真集” (Japan 1st Photobook), the project captures Yuchun’s current emotions in a highly personal way. He personally selected ten keywords that reflect his journey and future aspirations. Each theme is brought to life through intimate portraits shot in two iconic Japanese locales: Chiba, known for its coastal quiet, and Okinawa, the tropical island with a laid-back vibe.
“The shoot felt like working with family,” Yuchun shared. “Not just me—all the staff gave it their all. I think readers will feel that warmth and effort through every page.”
More Than Just a Book
Fans can look forward to two versions: a standard edition and a special edition box set that includes a calendar and DVD—perfect for collectors. And if that’s not enough, Yuchun will be hosting a launch event in Japan this December. Details are under wraps for now, but you might want to keep your schedules open!
Bonus: A Deep-Dive Interview
The photobook also features a long-form interview, giving fans rare insight into Yuchun’s mindset as an artist and a person. Think of it as a visual diary meets heart-to-heart.
