Singer-songwriter Kangta is returning to the spotlight for the first time in nearly a decade.
Best known as part of first-generation K-pop boy band H.O.T, Kangta will unveil a new album next month, according to the artist’s management agency S.M. Entertainment on Thursday.
This is the singer’s first release since his fourth solo album “Eternity,” which was announced in 2008 before he embarked on his mandatory military service.
