4Men's maknae Shin Yong Jae has announced that he'll be releasing his first solo album!

Representatives of 4Men revealed on July 3rd, "Shin Yong Jae will be briefly leaving 4Men to try and stand on his own. There's a lot of meaning to this album in that not only is it his first solo album, but also the first album he's produced entirely on his own. You can consider it his debut as a producer."

Like 4Men, Shin Yong Jae's album will be ballad-based. "He's been working on it fervently since completing 4Men's promotions last year. The title track will be a heartfelt ballad as characteristic of the group."

Shin Yong Jae has been showing his skills as a songwriter for a while now, writing and arranging songs like 4Men's "Say I Love You", "I Love You", "I Can't", and "I'm Sorry".
