Popular singer and actor Lee Seung-gi will release his 10th year anniversary album this year, his agency Hook Entertainment told a local news outlet on Thursday.

Last year was Lee’s 10th year anniversary since his debut, but he couldn’t release an album due to busy schedules, according to the report. Now he is giving the final touches to the album.

The exact release date is yet to be confirmed.

Lee’s album arrives more than three years after putting out the EP “Forest” in 2012. Despite the three-year hiatus from the local music scene, Lee has continued to star in dramas and movies.

The 29-year-old debuted in 2004 with the nationwide hit “Because You’re My Girl” and instantly rose to stardom. He has appeared on many popular TV shows, including “1 Night, 2 Days,” “Strong Heart” and “Sisters Over Flowers.”
