Korean singer Se7en has confirmed that he will be making his long-awaited comeback to the local music scene in July, according to his agency YG Entertainment on Tuesday.

The singer, who has been busy working in the U.S. for the past few years, had originally planned to return to Korea at the end of this month.

But Se7en then decided to push the date back, partly because YG wanted to focus on promoting their female artist Gummy who has been dominating K-pop music charts with her latest single “As a Man.”

“Another reason his comeback has been a bit delayed is because he wanted to prepare more and make it perfect,” an official at YG told Asia Economic Daily over the phone on Tuesday. “And he wanted to make the date relevant to ’seven’ — like he used to make comebacks on July 7th in the past.”

The new mini-album contains six songs, with the recording for most of the new material complete, the official added.

The official also hinted that the upcoming record will be “completely different in style than what Se7en has shown in the past” and that fans will be “very surprised” by the new music.

Se7en, whose real name is Choi Dong-wook, trained under YG Entertainment for four years before making his debut in 2003 with the album “Just Listen.” He became popular throughout Asia, releasing four full-length albums in Korea and seven singles in Japan.

In 2006, he went over to the U.S. to break into the global music scene and started collaborating with noted record producers such as Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins. He has yet to achieve notable success there.

On the 11th, it was made known that he will release his comeback mini album on July 1st. The album will hold six brand new songs and the album itself is complete.

Now, it’s time for Se7en to practice his moves and singing for the official comeback.

He was going to make a comeback in the end of May but he knew he needed more preparation. A representative stated today, “This might be just our thinking but the song came out so good that we decided to put more time into the music video and more. We have decided July 1st as the album release date. All six songs have been recorded. You will get to see a new Se7en. It’s going to be a sensation.”

A YG Entertainment representative told Newsen on 11th May, “Se7en is currently preparing for the new album to be released in July.”

The rep revealed that there are plans for the new album to be released on 1st July, and they are currently preparing for it. The pre-recording was done earlier in April and back then, a rep has also revealed that, “Se7en will comeback with new features” pointing to a more matured image for Se7en’s comeback.

There is great anticipation for Se7en’s comeback since this is his comeback after 3 years plus, the YG rep added, “Se7en is preparing for the album enthusiastically.”
