U-Know Yunho drops 'Time's Tickin'' single, hits #1 on Japan Rakuten Music daily chart

U-Know Yunho (유노윤호) dropped Time's Tickin' on July 20. It went straight to No. 1 on Japan's Rakuten Music daily album chart.

The single pairs the title track—a contemporary pop dance song built around clock-ticking sounds and an intense beat—with 보통의 이야기 (Ordinary Story), an emotional ballad. Yunho co-wrote the lyrics on the title track. It's his 23rd year since debut.

The music video, uploaded to the YouTube SMTOWN channel, was produced using VCR footage from Yunho's first-ever solo concert, held July 17–19 at Seoul's Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium. He appears across a futuristic city, a subway platform, and a race track. At the concert, Yunho told the crowd: "This new album is like a new game and stage for me. I hope you all enjoy it together."

Seoul was just the beginning. His solo concert tour runs through Asia over the next two months. August 8 in Macau. August 15 in Singapore. August 29 in Bangkok. September 5 in Taipei. September 12 in Jakarta. September 19 in Ho Chi Minh City. September 26 in Hong Kong.

Then Japan gets an arena tour under the title Yunho Project 26: New Chapter One — Edit. Kanagawa on October 31–November 1. Osaka on November 14–15. Aichi on December 8–9.
