Korean singer and TV personality Tony An is preparing for the release of his third single album, according to his agency TN Entertainment.

An official with TN told 10Asia over the phone on Thursday that Tony is recording several songs for his single which will be released in late February or early March.

"An is currently working real hard on his upcoming single and it will have a different vibe compared to his last album," the official explained.

Born An Seung-ho, Tony An made his debut in 1996 as a singer in the now-disbanded idol group H.O.T. He then formed JTL with its ex-members Jang Woo-hyuk and Lee Jae-won but the trio also naturally broke up when the bandmates sought solo careers.

An is now the CEO of music entertainment company TN Entertainment and Skoolooks, a school uniform company. He is also the emcee on Mnet's cable music program "M! CountDown."
