Singer-songwriter An Shin-ae signed an exclusive contract with P Nation and will drop a new album on Thursday.

A Forty-second-long video uploaded on the agency's social media accounts on Thursday showed An singing and playing piano, with the texts "New Artist An Shinae" and "2023.09.21," hinting at a new album release this month.

"An Shin-ae is an artist with colors that are distinct from [existing artists of] P Nation, and it will be exciting how she can surprise the audience with her music," her new agency said in a press release Friday.

She debuted as a member of a vocal trio, The Barberettes, in 2014 and is known for self-producing most of her albums. She also wrote and produced "I Love My Body," Hwasa's latest digital single released on Sept. 6.

P Nation is an entertainment agency founded by singer Psy in 2018. Crush, Heize, Swings, The New Six and Hwasa are part of the agency.
