Singer Nam You-joung, formerly a member of BB Girls, will release her first solo album in August, agency RND Company said Thursday.

Nam shared news of the album herself in the first episode of a mockumentary series released on her official YouTube channel on Wednesday.

"I'm finally releasing my first solo album," she said in the episode. "I just hope that when people hear I've prepared these songs for a festival stage, a lot of them will like it."

The album will consist of cover versions of previously released songs, all of them love songs.
