Lee Hyori's new album, a collaboration with hit song-writer, E-Tribe, is tentatively set for release in autumn this year.
However, Hyori has said that she will not be making her come-back until she has produced an album she is satisfied with.
Hyori's contract with her current agency, M-Net Media, will end this year. But she is contractually obligated to produce one more album with the company. So, her fourth album is scheduled to come out by this year.
But Hyori is not in a rush. "If it is difficult to come up with a good album this year, I think I will not release it this year," she said.
The representative of female solo artists in Korea — Hyori — very much wants to produce a quality album, especially since girl groups are all the rage now; competition has become stiffer.
A spokesperson said, "Hyori is giving her best and working very hard for the new album now."
E-Tribe who overnight became a hit song-writer through You Go Girl, has promised to write a song that complements and suits Hyori. Because of this, the two have been talking a lot. E-Tribe is really making a lot of painstaking efforts to write her a good song.
Well, all the best, Hyori! May your next album be an even bigger hit!
