Super Junior’s Kyuhyun is preparing to return with what promises to be another timeless ballad masterpiece. On October 21, his agency Antenna announced through official social media that Kyuhyun will release his new EP The Classic on November 20 at 6 p.m. KST, marking his first comeback in nearly a year.
The revealed concept photo titled Reminiscence showcases Kyuhyun in a soft brown-toned setting, wearing a refined, vintage-inspired outfit that radiates a classic, sentimental aura. His deep, contemplative gaze hints at the emotional depth fans can expect from the upcoming record.
This release follows his 2024 full-length album COLORS, and as its title suggests, The Classic aims to revisit the roots of Kyuhyun’s artistry as one of Korea’s most beloved balladeers. The EP will highlight the qualities that define him — his delicate emotional delivery, technical vocal control, and ability to make every lyric feel deeply personal.
Since joining Antenna, Kyuhyun has shown artistic growth beyond his Super Junior fame, releasing the introspective EP Restart and the colorful full-length COLORS. These albums explored new genres and emotions, but The Classic marks a return to what listeners love most — Kyuhyun’s signature sentimental ballads.
Industry insiders describe The Classic as a “warm, analog project that will embrace the changing season,” signaling a musical journey full of nostalgia and sincerity. Fans are already expressing high anticipation online, noting Kyuhyun’s consistent ability to create emotionally resonant music that stands the test of time.
With nearly two decades of experience, Kyuhyun has become synonymous with refined vocal artistry in K-pop. As he gears up for this comeback, The Classic is expected to not only reaffirm his status as one of Korea’s finest vocalists but also serve as a reminder of why his music continues to comfort generations of listeners.
Kyuhyun’s The Classic EP will be available on all major streaming platforms on November 20.
