TWICE's NAYEON to release new solo single 'NA-sty' on the 20th

NAYEON will launch her new solo chapter with the single 'NA-sty' on the 20th, featuring the title track 'BABY ANGEL'. This comeback marks her first solo release in approximately 2 years and 5 months and includes the track 'SHiVER', for which she participated in the lyrics and composition.

TWICE's NAYEON has transformed her familiar lovely image into a powerful and unique visual. The bold color combination of a vivid yellow dress and purple hair is capturing attention, heightening anticipation for her solo comeback, which comes approximately 2 years and 5 months after her previous release.

NAYEON will begin her solo activities with the release of the new single 'NA-sty' on the 20th. The title track is 'BABY ANGEL'. Having proven her unrivaled popularity and bright energy through her activities with TWICE, attention is focused on how NAYEON will expand her unique charm through this new music and concept.

Ahead of the comeback, agency JYP Entertainment is heating up the atmosphere by sequentially releasing various teasing contents. The first concept photo, released through TWICE's official SNS on the afternoon of the 10th, immediately revealed the different sensibilities of the new album. By adding a kitschy sensibility and a free-spirited atmosphere to her existing refreshing and lovely image, the photos visually present the direction of this solo activity.

Above all, NAYEON's unconventional styling is eye-catching. Matching a vivid yellow dress with purple hair, she maintained her characteristic vitality and charm despite the intense color contrast. She created a unique atmosphere by striking various poses against a natural landscape background reminiscent of a familiar computer desktop. The use of digital devices such as laptops and monitors as props also brought out a playful and witty charm.

In particular, the scene where NAYEON appears inside a monitor screen is a differentiating point of this concept photo. The direction, which seems to intersect real space and digital screens, extends the visual fun beyond a simple pictorial. The combination of bold colors, humorous imagery, and digital sensibility further highlights NAYEON's new charms. It stimulates fans' curiosity as she shows a free individuality different from before while maintaining her familiar "NAYEON-style loveliness."

This new release is her first solo album in approximately 2 years and 5 months since the 2nd mini album 'NA' released in June 2024. The album contains a total of three songs, including the title track 'BABY ANGEL', 'SHiVER', and 'BOY'. Even with the short tracklist, it is expected to contain NAYEON's musical color and new attempts.

It is also noteworthy that she directly participated in the music production. For the second track 'SHiVER', NAYEON added her musical capabilities by participating in the lyrics and composition. The album's completeness was enhanced through collaborations with a domestic and international lineup of writers, including Sim Eun-ji, who has worked on several TWICE hit songs, as well as Trey Campbell, JULiA LEWiS, and rapper Lil Cherry. Attention is gathered on what results NAYEON's steps will lead to as she expands beyond performance and visuals into musical participation.

The album title 'NA-sty' also symbolizes NAYEON's new changes. It was created by combining 'NA', which signifies NAYEON, with the meanings of 'NAYEON's style' and 'being like myself', and the English word 'nasty', which carries a cheeky and provocative nuance. From the name itself, an honest and confident attitude is emphasized.

In this comeback, NAYEON is expected to show her own style by adding a bolder individuality to her existing bright and lovely charm. Eyes are focused on the new chapter of solo artist NAYEON, seeing how the unconventional transformation started with the yellow dress and purple hair will continue in music and performance.
