K-pop diva Sunmi unveiled Monday three Instagram photos of herself preparing up for an upcoming release.

The black-and-white pictures feature the singer at a recording studio and a dance studio room.

“I'm ready, R u ready?” Sunmi wrote.

The soloist revealed in May that she would return to the music scene by the end of June. Her latest single was “LALALY,” released last August.

More details about the forthcoming release ― such as whether it is a full-length album or not ― have not been disclosed yet.

Sunmi debuted as a member of now-defunct girl group Wonder Girls in 2007, left the band in 2010 and rejoined it in 2015. Wonder Girls disbanded two years later.

Sunmi began forging a solo career in 2013 with "24 hours" and released hits such as "Gashina" (2017) and "Heroine" (2018). She recently appeared on SBS's talk show “Sunmi's Video Store.”
