TWICE’s NaYeon To Release Her First Solo EP, “IM NAYEON” On June 24th

NaYeon, one of the members of the global K-Pop powerhouse TWICE, will be releasing her first solo EP, “IM NAYEON,” on Friday, June 24^th. This is Nayeon’s first solo venture since her TWICE debut in October 2015, and she is the first member of TWICE to debut as a solo and to release a solo EP.

“IM NAYEON” is actually NaYeon’s full real name but at the same time, the EP’s title also gives the confident statement “I’m NaYeon”.

TWICE recently performed back-to-back, sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium – encore performances of their sold-out “4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ”. These performances were a major milestone for the group, as they made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to play a North American stadium.

“4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ” kicked off with three shows in Seoul on December 24^th before heading to the United States where they played five cities – Los Angeles (The Forum), Oakland (Oakland Arena), Fort Worth (Dickies Arena), Atlanta (State Farm Arena), and New York (UBS Arena) –  including two shows in both Los Angeles and New York due to popular demand. All seven shows sold out just hours after on sale, and made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to sell out two North American arena tours. TWICE’s return to States was highly anticipated, as this tour was the group’s first time back since their hit “TWICELIGHTS” world tour in 2019, which included sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ The Forum in Los Angeles and Newark’s Prudential Center.

The tour followed what was a momentous 2021 for the group. November last year, they released their third full-length album “Formula of Love: O+T=<3”, which hit #3 on the Billboard 200 and stayed in the chart for eight consecutive weeks, and performed the album’s lead track, ‘SCIENTIST’, on MTV Fresh Out Live. The month prior, they released their first full English-language single, ‘The Feels’, which marked the K-Pop powerhouses’ first career entry on The Billboard Hot 100 (#83) and earned the group multiple top 10 placements across various charts. They also performed the single on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “GMA3“. Earlier the same year, they performed on “TIME 100 Talks“, “The Kelly Clarkson Show“, and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show“, and in June, they released their 10^th mini album, “Taste of Love”. The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 chart and the music video for the album’s lead track, ‘Alcohol-Free’, was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best K-Pop.
