My Youth Episode 12 Is Almost Here: Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch
My Youth drops its season finale this Friday, October 10, 2025, at 8:50 PM KST on JTBC, with Viki and Viu rolling it out for global viewers shortly after, as long-simmering relationships and key storylines finally hit their payoff.
We made it to the finish line. My Youth wraps up this week with its 12th episode, and yes, it looks like the show is saving the big emotional payoffs for last. Here is when it drops, where to watch it, and what kind of ending the show seems to be aiming for.
When and where to watch
Episode 12, the season finale, airs Friday, October 10, 2025 at 8:50 PM KST on JTBC in South Korea. Internationally, the episode will pop up on Rakuten Viki and Viu shortly after the domestic broadcast with subtitles in multiple languages. Expect a roughly 70-minute runtime.
If you have been keeping score: this is Season 1, Episode 12 of a 12-episode romance drama. The show has been airing Fridays at 8:50 PM KST, with JTBC releasing two episodes per week during some earlier weeks of the run.
Creative team callout for the folks who like the inside baseball: it is written by Park Sy Hyeon and directed by Lee Sang Yeob, and it has built a following on the back of nostalgic storytelling and a very deliberate slow-burn romance. It also marks Song Joong-ki’s first return to a straight-up romantic lead in nine years, opposite Chun Woo-hee — which is a long wait in K-drama years, and probably not the last time we will see him in this lane if the response is any indication.
Global release times
Here are the expected local times for the premiere. Daylight saving rules can nudge these by an hour depending on where you live, so use this as a guide:
- EST (US East Coast): 8:50 AM
- PST (US West Coast): 5:50 AM
- GMT (UK): 1:50 PM
- CET (Europe): 2:50 PM
- IST (India): 5:50 PM
- JST (Japan): 9:50 PM
- AEST (Australia): 10:50 PM
What to expect from the finale
The show has been quietly stacking up unresolved feelings and old wounds, so the finale is positioned to tie off the core relationships and release all that tension. The big question, obviously, is where it leaves Sunwoo Hae and Sung Jae-yeon. The series has been steering them through both past and present friction, and all signs point to them finally getting on the same page — maybe even a full-on happy ending. We will see how tidy the bow is, but the setup is there.
