Singer Shin Hye-sung will hold a concert next month, in time with the release of a new album, according to the concert's promoter J Story on Wednesday.

J Story stated through a press release today that Shin will hold the "SHIN HYE SUNG 2011 Tour in SEOUL - THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" at the Chungmu Art Hall in Seoul from June 24 to 26.

The concert will highlight his fourth album in particular, his first studio release in over two years, which is set to hit stores sometime in June.

“Just thinking of releasing a new album for the first time in a while and meeting with fans again leaves me feeling both giddy and nervous. I’m doing my best to prepare for the concert and I hope many of you can come,” Shin was quoted as saying in the statement.

Separately, Shin released a digital single last Thursday which is a duet with Young-jun of male R&B group Brown Eyed Soul.

Born Jung Pil-kyo, Shin made his debut as one of the main vocalist for the popular boy band Shinhwa in 1998 and embarked on a solo singing career in May 2005, releasing several albums in Korea as well as expanding his career into Japan.

Ticket reservations for Shin’s concert starts tomorrow at online shopping mall Interpark.
