It’s no secret that ELFs have been waiting for a long time for Super Junior‘s Ryeowook (김려욱) to make his solo debut.
Fortunately, the wait is coming to an end soon because his talent agency SM Entertainment has shared some details about his solo debut album today (19th January).
Following the footsteps of his fellow Super Junior colleague Kyuhyun, Ryeowook was given the chance to shine as a solo artiste this month.
The singer is slated to drop his first solo album at midnight KST on 28th January 2016. Titled “The Little Prince”, the much-anticipated mini album will be the first solo album to be released through Label SJ, Super Junior’s new exclusive label created by SM Entertainment last year.
