On September 23rd, Se7en announced that he'll be heading back to Japan for the first time in four years. Speaking through Star News, representatives of YG Entertainment revealed, "Se7en will be releasing a new mini-album in Japan by the end of the year, and will kick off his promotions. Since it will be his first time back in a while, he is working very hard on his preparations." Se7en last released a Japanese work in 2007, and has since been in a hiatus from the market. He'll be joined by labelmates 2NE1, GD&TOP, and Gummy, who are all preparing (or are already embarking) on promotions in Japan. As expected, 'YGEX' will be backing Se7en's comeback.
