Nayeon from TWICE is on her own for the first time in 7 years.

At 11 a.m. on June 24, a press conference was held at Fairmont Ambassador Seoul in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of Nayeon's solo album "I'M NAYEON."

The new name "I'M NAYEON" means "I am Nayeon" and also sends the confident message "I am Nayeon." The title song "POP!" is a catchy song that promises to blow the opponent's swollen heart like a bubble.

Nayeon said this on this day: "Today, people welcomed me as a solo artist named Nayeon, and I felt a lot of things. I've been working on an album for a long time, so it feels good, but going out alone for the first time makes me nervous and excited at the same time ".

Nayeon debuted in 2015 as a member of the group TWICE. This is her first solo album in seven years. In light of this, some people thought that her solo album came out too late.

Nayeon said this about it: "This year marks seven years, and I think it's a good time and not too late. I think it's good to be able to show you a new and different side by doing my own things and putting out a solo album, since I've already shown you something by doing things with a group "said she.

Concerning the part she was most worried about, she said, "I have already shown you an image of Nayeon of TWICE, so I will show you a new image while taking that image as much as possible."

TWICE Nayeon's first mini album, "I'M NAYEON," has songs like "POP!," "NO PROBLEM" (feat FELIX of Stray Kids), "LOVE COUNTDOWN" (feat ONE STEIN), "CANDY FLOSS", and "NOTE". It will be available on all of the biggest music sites at 1 p.m. on that day.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
