One Fine Day (어느 멋진 날; Eoneu Meotjin Nal) is the debut solo studio album by South Korean vocalist and CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa. It was released on January 20, 2015, under FNC Entertainment and distributed by CJ E&M. As CNBLUE's promotions for their mini-album Can't Stop (2014) came to a close, the label announced plans for Jung to release a solo album within the year. Since the album's inception, he sought to distance himself from the band's sound and include various musical styles on the record. Ultimately, he conceived a collaborative album with an array of musicians.
By late 2014, the album was scheduled to be released in early 2015. Teasers revealing the musicians Jung collaborated with were released one-by-one the following January, which included rapper Verbal Jint, rock musician Yoon Do-hyun, and Singaporean singer JJ Lin. "Mileage" with actor and rapper Yang Dong-geun (YDG) was first released on January 9. After a series of photo and video teasers thereafter, the album and lead single "One Fine Day" were released. Jung began promoting the album through music chart programs across various television networks by performing "One Fine Day" and the collaboration tracks. The single ultimately led him to win a total of four music show trophies, including two consecutive wins on Korean Broadcasting System's (KBS) Music Bank.
One Fine Day received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who noted his growth as a singer-songwriter, but also cited familiarity with CNBLUE's music. The album went on to top the Gaon Album Chart for two non-consecutive weeks. In March, a Japanese edition titled Aru Suteki na Hi: Japan Special Edition (ある素敵な日 ～Japan Special Edition～) was released, which peaked at number four on the weekly Oricon Albums Chart. Jung embarked on his first series of solo concerts across Asia; select shows were recorded, spawning live and video releases. By the end of 2015, One Fine Day sold over 115,000 copies in its home country.
