Popular singer Se7en has begun recording his new song, which is expected to be released next year.

The 24-year-old star's agency, YG Entertainment said on Oct. 23, "After Se7en finishes recording, he will unveil the new songs in the early part of next year."

"About the type of record, we haven't decided yet. It would be either a single, or a mini album," they added.

It has been almost three years since he was last on the Korean pop scene. For the last couple of years, he devoted his energy to entering the U.S. music market. Se7en finally made his U.S. debut with "Girls," produced by Dark Child and featuring Lil' Kim, early this year.

On Oct. 19, the singer posted new pictures on the website, including the autograph of a hero in his life, the late pop legend Michael Jackson.
