Harlem Yu, marking his 40th anniversary in the music industry, released his new single 'Lover' today. During the press conference, Yu discussed his evolving perspective on love and expressed that the recent passings of peers have reinforced his resolve to cherish his time, prioritizing the creation of new music and live performances while he is able.

After a nine-year hiatus from releasing new solo singles, Yu described 'Lover' as a 'Version 2.0' of his understanding of love, noting that personal experiences have deepened his emotional connection to his work. Addressing previous false reports regarding his health, Yu reaffirmed his commitment to physical fitness, stating that regular exercise is essential to his lifestyle and that his current health allows him to maintain the physical demands required for touring.

Yu is scheduled to launch his 40th-anniversary concert tour this October, which he views as the beginning of a new phase in his career. Additionally, Yu expressed admiration for Jacky Cheung’s recent tour performance, noting that Cheung’s dedication to high-intensity shows despite the physical challenge serves as a significant source of professional motivation.
