Nayeon released her 1st mini album IM NAYEON
TWICE member Nayeon shared how her transition to a solo artist came to being ahead of the release of her 1st mini album IM NAYEON.
Speaking at a press conference, she shared that her group members were very supportive of her move.
"The members cheered me on endlessly ever since I first started working on the album up until today. They gave me very detailed feedback, like they love this and this part of the song, or they liked the choreography."
"The solo album was a chance for me to learn and grow as an artist. There were times during my promotions in the group that I felt limitations, but it felt as if this album gave me the opportunity to overcome those limitations. Rather than focussing on certain aspects of me as a solo artist, I hope that people will see it as a chance to think, 'TWICE can also do this' and 'I'm looking forward to the other members' solo projects'."
She also detailed the recording process of the solo album as she said, "Because we have many members in our group, there weren't many chances for me to sing an entire song by myself, or dance on stage by myself. There was a part of me that was scared about singing an entire song on my own."
She then added on, "I felt difficulties as I started recording, but along the way, I also learned. I picked up on how I should sing differently to make the song sound better, and I saw how happy I was in the recording studio. It made me realize once again how much I love to sing."
