June 18 (UPI) -- Jimin of K-pop supergroup BTS will release a new solo album next month while serving in the South Korean military, his agency said Tuesday.

The new EP, Muse, will come out July 19, BigHit Music said on the K-pop fan community platform Weverse and the band's social media accounts.

Muse will be the singer's first release in about one year and four months since his debut solo album Face in March last year.

"The new album tells the story of the singer's search for inspiration," BigHit said. "It features seven songs, including 'Closer Than This,' a song dedicated to his fans which was released in December last year."

"The album will showcase Jimin's expanded musical spectrum," the agency added.
