Singer-actor Rain will release an album in October and also take part in a comeback program with major broadcaster MBC.
Born Jeong Ji-hoon, the 26-year-old entertainer has returned to the Asian music scene after pursuing an acting career in the United States. He told Yonhap News that he is producing his new album himself.
``I have been working on the album for a long time and it's almost finished now. The album will carry songs that I wrote myself. Because it's an Asian special album, there will also be an English version,'' he said.
He will also appear in a comeback program on MBC, which did the same for pop music pioneer Seo Tai-ji this month.
The program on Seo had in-depth interviews and a concert, with the concept of Rain's program to be similar. Rain's program is scheduled for October but specifics will be announced soon.
Rain starred in the Hollywood movie ``Speed Racer'' this year and his upcoming movie ``Ninja Assassin'' will be released in January next year. He also made headlines by singing at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics Sunday.
