Former KARA member Nicole had fans surprised at the short but scenic MV for her upcoming song titled "Champions."

Fans who were taken aback by the idol's clip left comments such as, "She got prettier!" "I'm so glad she is back to releasing music," "I didn't expect her to sing all in English," "Wow she looks different," and more.

Furthermore, the MV is produced by EDM duo -Tom & Jame - under a Japanese company. It looks like Nicole will only be launching the song in Japan and making promotions soon.

"Champions" will be Nicole's first Japanese single in three months since her latest track "Promise" that was released on June 7.

Nicole Jung debuted as a KARA member on March 29, 2017, under DSP Entertainment, with the single "Break It" from their first album "The First Blooming." In 2010, the group signed with Universal Music Japan's subsidiary label, Universal Sigma and later on debuted in Japan with the Japanese rendition of their Korean song "Mister." The following year, KARA rose to fame in Japan with their albums and tracks, topping on music charts and selling numerous copies.

In 2014, Nicole alongside co-member Jiyoung chose not to renew their contracts with DSP Media, hence leaving the group to pursue their solo careers. The girl group then officially disbanded in 2015.

Nicole signed with B2M Entertainment in October 2014 and had her solo debut with the mini-album "First Romance" on November 19 that same year. In 2015, she launched her first Japanese singles titled "Something Special. In 2016, she dropped another Japanese track called "Don't Stop" and her first studio album "Bliss."

Besides that, the artist has also released her first-ever photo book in Japan this year, 2019, on the 7th of June. The collection consists of Nicole's different expressions, from cool looks to the attractive appearance of an adult woman.

Ahead of the release of "Champions," Nicole will be appearing on Tokyo MX Otoboke Pops on September 14 to talk about her new single.

Meanwhile, "Champions" will be officially released on September 25.
