Singer Kim Jeong-hoon will disclose a new song at an upcoming fan meeting scheduled for April in Korea, according to his agency Mersenne Entertainment on Wednesday.

A press release by Mersenne said that Kim, who is set to be discharged from the army at the end of this month after having fulfilled his two-year mandatory military duties, will introduce a new song to his fans at the local fan meeting slated for April 10.

The song, which Kim received three months ago, is expected to be released as a single album in April along with music video.

“This album will be Kim’s way of expressing his thanks to his fans who waited for him while he served in the military,” an official at Mersenne was quoted as saying in the statement.

The official added that Kim will also showcase a dance number at the event, making it the first time since his days as a UN member that he will dance for his fans.

Meanwhile, Kim is also set to hold a fan meeting at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on March 14 to meet some 30,000 fans.

Kim, 30, debuted through male duo UN in 2000 but turned to acting and starred in several dramas starting with the runaway hit MBC drama “Goong” in 2006 after the group's disbandment in 2005.

Kim then resumed his music career in Japan where he has released several singles and albums under the name “John Hoon,” which have turned out to be hits, all of them reaching the top 10 list of Japanese Oricon charts including his latest song “Wait,” which placed seventh on the daily chart last November.
