Top Korean girl group Brown Eyed Girls are gearing up for their comeback to the local music scene this summer, according to their agency Nega Networks.

"The girls have just started to prepare to record their upcoming album," an official from Nega Networks told 10Asia over the phone on Wednesday. "We haven't set an official date as of yet but hopefully it will be sometime around July."

Speculations of the girls return surfaced when Brown Eyed Girls member Ga-in stepped down from MBC's daily sitcom "All My Love." Her final shoot for the show was on May 11, while her fellow group mates have halted their individual activities for months now.

The last album that Brown Eyed Girls released as a group in Korea was "Sound-G Sign," featuring smash hit songs "Sign" and "Abracadabra," in October 2009.

After that, Narsha, Ga-in and Jea started on their solo singing and acting careers while Miryo took part in various collaborations with other K-pop singers.

They also expanded their career into the Japanese music market last summer after signing with major record label Sony Music Japan International.

Brown Eyed Girls made their debut in 2006 with their first album "Your Story" and has since released a number of albums, producing "How Come," "My Style" and "Love."
