2PM's JUN. K Releases 'Your Lips', Featuring Wendy
Part of the August 17, 2026 daily edition
그룹 2PM의 준케이가 8월 17일 오후 6시 각종 온라인 음원사이트를 통해 신곡 ’유어 립스’를 담은 디지털 싱글을 발표합니다. 이 곡에는 레드벨벳의 웬디가 피처링 아티스트로 참여했습니다. ’유어 립스’는 지난 6월 디지털 싱글 ’미드나잇 티켓’을 낸 이후 두 달 만에 선보이는 신보입니다. 준케이가 직접 작사에 참여해 서로의 마음을 확인하고 더욱 가까워진 연인의 이야기를 노랫말에 담았습니다. 이번 신곡은 감미로운 피아노 선율과 몽환적인 신스 사운드, 부드러운 그루브가 어우러진 미디엄 템포 팝 R&B 곡입니다.

Grammar points
-(ㄴ/는)다the plain present — used for scheduled events
Korean news writes a scheduled event in the plain present, not the future: 오후 6시에 발표한다 = 'releases at 6 p.m.', for something that has not happened yet. This article was written in the morning about a release set for the evening, so the whole piece is written forward. English does the same with 'the album drops Friday', but Korean uses it far more widely.
Example: 새 영화가 다음 주에 개봉한다.
The new film opens next week.
N 만에after N (a gap since the last time)
Measures the interval since something last happened. 두 달 만에 선보이는 신보 = 'a new release coming after two months'. Because it presupposes a previous instance, music news uses it to place a release in an artist's run of work rather than treating it as an isolated event.
Example: 3년 만에 새 앨범을 냈습니다.
They put out a new album after three years.
-아/어 N에 담다to put N into ~
담다 is 'to put into a container', and Korean uses it for putting meaning into a work: 이야기를 노랫말에 담았다 = 'put the story into the lyrics'. It is the standard verb for what an artist expresses, and it treats the song as a vessel — a metaphor that has become so ordinary in Korean arts writing that it no longer reads as figurative.
Example: 고향에 대한 그리움을 그림에 담았습니다.
She put her longing for home into the painting.
