Background
On May 30, 2019, Yesung announced that he would have a Korean comeback in June, marking his first Korean comeback in two years following the release of Spring Falling. He was originally scheduled for a comeback in March but it coincides with Super Junior's third world tour, delaying the comeback for another three months.
On June 12, Yesung tweeted the tracklist of the album, which includes "Eat's OK" and "Wish" — the two tracks written by himself.
On June 17, the highlight medley of the album was uploaded on YouTube.
On June 18, the lead single, "Pink Magic" along with its music video, was released on the same day alongside the EP. The music video featured bandmates Donghae, and Kyuhyun.
Composition
The EP contains a variety of genres. Speaking of its variety presented, Yesung stated "The mini-album is full of songs that I like. I want to create music with a variety of genres that everyone can like."
The EP begins with title track "Pink Magic", a rhythmic pop song with a bouncy signature synth sound with an upbeat guitar sound. "Every Day, Wait for Us" is a traditional K-ballad song that conveys anger and sadness of waiting to meet someone again. The third song, "Parallel Lines" is a pop-rock song with Britpop influence that expresses an unapproachable love in parallel lines. "I'll Remember" is described as a song that expressed delicate emotional line between happiness and sadness.
Yesung is involved in writing and composing two songs, "Eat's OK" and "Wish." "Eat's OK" is a song addressed to the fans with witty lyrics and warm guitar sounds. "Wish" is a ballad song with fairytale-like story with a piano melody accompanying it.
Promotion
Yesung promoted the EP by performing "Pink Magic" live in Inkigayo on July 7.
