Pictures of SS501 member Heo Young-saeng in a recording studio have been revealed, according to the official Twitter account (http://twitter.com/b2ment) of his agency B2M Entertainment on Wednesday.

Two photographs of the singer was uploaded onto the website with a comment below saying, "Pictures of Heo recording ^^ You did a good job~~~~."

"We are planning to release Heo's solo album sometime in mid-April and then he will begin promoting the new songs," an official from B2M told 10Asia over the phone.

He went onto say, "The songs will show a whole different side of Heo and hopefully he will become a singer that the whole audience will love."

Heo made his debut in the five-member group SS501 with their first self-titled album in 2005, releasing various hit songs such as "Snow Prince," U R Man" and "Love Ya."

In June 2009 however, the members of SS501 went separate ways after their contract with DSP Media expired -- Kim Hyun-joong signed with KEYEAST, Park Jung-min with CNR Media and Kim Hyung-joon with S-Plus Entertainment, while Kim Kyu-jong and Heo signed with Lee Hyori's agency B2M Entertainment.

The two held their official fan meeting late last year and continued their meet-and-greet into several other countries in Asia including Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.
