Nayeon's Solo Debut after 6 years of Debuting with Twice

After debuting with Twice in 2015, this will be her first time promoting as a soloist. On May 19, 2022, at 12AM KST (Korean Standard Time), Twice’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts posted a promotional poster for Nayeon's solo debut. The IM Nayeon poster showcased a lovely tea set, a pair of pink-hued sunglasses, a couple of nail paints, and a strand of pearls. The Pre-order period started last May 24, and the mini-album will drop on June 24, 1PM KST.

Her mini-album will consist of 7 tracks with 'Pop' as its title track. Nayeon collaborated with her hoobae/junior and labelmate, Felix of Stray Kids with the track 'No Problem', and rapper and singer Wonstein in 'Love Countdown'. Nayeon also participated in writing the lyrics for two of the songs in the album - 'Love Countdown (ft. Wonstein)' and 'All or Nothing'.

As a long-time Once (Twice’s fandom name), I felt excited as the first teaser was dropped. With her sweet and powerful vocals, we will surely be swept away once the album is dropped.

The Big Dome has welcomed foreign acts again, with “Begin Again: KPOP Edition,” the country’s first live overseas performance in two years.

(NCT Dream performing their title track from their 1st Album Repackage, 'Hello Future'.)

Last May 29, 2022, four Korean pop acts were welcomed to Smart Araneta Museum to perform their various hits. The K-pop acts included the seven-member boy group NCT Dream, Soloist and SHINee’s Key, six-member boy group WEi, and lastly, the seven-member girl group Alice.

For sure, every K-pop fan has enjoyed this concert that included their favorite artists. It will surely be a worthwhile experience for those who attended since this was the first-ever K-pop concert after two years.
