TWICE member Nayeon will debut as a solo artist by releasing her first mini-album "IM NAYEON" on June 24.

JYP Entertainment surprised fans by releasing Nayeon's solo album release poster on their official SNS channels at midnight on the 19th. Nayeon will release her first mini-album "IM NAYEON" on the 24th of next month at 1 PM (0 AM EST).

The title "IM NAYEON" means her real name "Im Nayeon" and at the same time contains a confident message and atmosphere of "I'M NAYEON," meaning "I am Nayeon," which further draws attention.

Since her official debut with TWICE in October 2015, Nayeon has set numerous records and established herself as a "representative K-pop girl group." TWICE has achieved over 100 million views on YouTube for 16 music videos of all their title tracks from "Like OOH-AHH" to "SCIENTIST," plus 3 Japanese releases and their first English single "The Feels," totaling 20 music videos. In January, Gaon Chart announced that with a cumulative album sales of 7,299,094 copies over 10 years, they achieved the highest album sales among female artists, solidifying their position as the undisputed "K-pop Top Album Queens."

Nayeon, who is affectionately called "Go Yu-Nayeon" among fans and has been the core of TWICE's energy, is highly anticipated for the charms she will bring as a solo artist.

Meanwhile, TWICE is actively carrying out their 4th world tour "TWICE 4TH WORLD TOUR 'Ⅲ'", proving their limitless global growth momentum. They became the "first K-pop girl group" to hold encore concerts twice at North American stadiums, selling out all seats for 9 performances across 5 U.S. cities and attracting approximately 150,000 spectators in the U.S. alone, showcasing their powerful audience-drawing capabilities. With this, TWICE wrote a new history in the music industry as the "first K-pop girl group" to hold solo concerts at North American stadium venues.

Meanwhile, Nayeon's first solo album "IM NAYEON" will be released on various music sites at 1 PM on June 24.
