(Eleven9)

According to Se7en‘s agency, Eleven9, the former K-pop superstar is planning on making a comeback in October.

A representative at Eleven9 revealed Thursday that the singer is currently focusing all his efforts on releasing an album in early October.

This is the first album Se7en has worked on since leaving his former agency, YG Entertainment, and it will be the first album he’s released in more than four and a half years.

Se7en has been on a long hiatus since enlisting for his mandatory military service in 2013. He was discharged in late 2014, but did not renew his contract with YG, which came as a shock because the two were known to have an amicable relationship. It was revealed that they came to a mutual agreement, because YG was too busy managing emerging artists as well as Psy, 2NE1 and Big Bang.

Since then, Se7en has worked on a number of other endeavors outside of his career as an artist. He established his own agency, Eleven9, and has even starred in the musical “Elisabeth.”

Earlier this year, Se7en released the single “I‘m Good” in July, along with a music video.
