Korean singer Kim Jang-hoon's duet song with Super Junior member Kim Heechul will be released later this month, according to his manager.

His manager told 10Asia over the phone on Friday that Kim Jang-hoon is set to make his comeback sometime this month with his new single which will contain the duet song. Kim Heechul, currently serving his mandatory military duties, posted a comment and picture on his Twitter account before joining the military earlier this month in which he called the track "My final present of my twenties by Jang-hoon."

However, Kim Jang-hoon's manager explained that they have yet to decide on the release date for the single and how he will go about with the promotional activities since Kim Heechul is in the military.

Kim Jang-hoon is a rock-ballad singer who released his first album in 1991 and has collaborated with various artists for their records and concerts. He is also well-known for his charity work through various non-profit foundations and his fashion sense. He recently withdrew from Korea's version of "Dancing with the Stars" due to health issues.

Kim Heechul, 28, is the second member of K-pop's most popular idol groups to enter the military to fulfill the two-year mandatory duties required of all men.

He will receive four weeks of basic training at a training camp in Nonsan of the South Chungcheong Province and then serve as a public service worker for the 23 months that follow.
