Eternal is the first EP by South Korean singer-songwriter Young K. It was released on September 6, 2021, by JYP Entertainment. The EP consists of 7 songs, all written and composed or co-composed by Young K, including the lead single "Guard You" and sub-single "Come as You Are".[2] The EP features South Korean singer-songwriter Dvwn on "Microphone".[3]

According to Young K, the name Eternal is derived from his Korean name "Young-hyun". He tweaked the words and changed it to "Young-won" which translates to eternal. Eternal tells a story of "Kang Young-hyun (Young K's real name) as a person" and “Young K as an artist”.[4]

Young K enlisted in mandatory military service on October 12, 2021, a month after the EP release.[5]
