Nayeon of K-pop girl group TWICE held a media showcase in Seoul on Thursday, June 13, to bring out her second solo EP, “NA.”
She confided that she felt pressure from the success of her first solo album which far exceeded her expectations. Her previous EP from 2022, “Im Nayeon,” hit Billboard 200 at No. 7 and set a record for a K-pop solo musician at the time, while main track “Pop!” swept all music charts at home.
“I tried to enjoy as much as I can putting together the album,” she said, adding, “Since I am focused on group activities, I want to cherish the time I have as a solo act and have fun.”
The new album consists of seven tracks and is fronted by “ABCD,” a pop-dance tune that harks back to the pop divas of early aughts.
Its official music video was released on JYP Entertainment’s YouTube channel on Friday, June 14, the same day the physical album was rolled out.
