Choi Yena, formerly of IZ*ONE, is gearing up for return in August, according to Korean media reports Friday.

Agency Yuehua Entertainment confirmed that she is set to return next month, adding that more details will follow.

It has been approximately six months since she struck out on her own with EP Smiley. She debuted as a member of project girl group IZ*ONE in 2018 and went solo after it disbanded in April last year.

Besides building up her music career, Choi has been appearing in a series of entertainment shows.

“It is my biggest goal to be recognised as someone who can do really well in both areas,” she said in an interview with Cosmopolitan Korea recently, “There is so much I want to show and do. I’m full of passion, having debuted as a solo musician recently.” – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
