SHINee's Key announces August return
A sheet of notice with a phone number was also uploaded, through which the musician will provide hints about the soon-to-be-released set.
He will release his third studio album 'Hunter,' which will comprise ten tracks, including the title track. The upcoming LP will mark his return as a solo musician in about a year after his third EP 'Pleasure Shop,' and will come about three years after his previous full album, 'Gasoline.' The LP topped the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 24 regions and the EP in 21.
There have been media reports since earlier this month that Key was gearing up for a solo return. His latest group endeavor was the physical single 'Poet │ Artist,' which dropped in May in celebration of SHINee's 17th debut anniversary.
