Media Outlet Predicts TWICE Members' Solo, Sub-Unit to Look Forward After Nayeon
Who's next after Nayeon's solo? In an article, a media outlet predicted the prospective lineup and combinations of TWICE members who will debut following the successful album release of their eldest member.
Prospective Solo, Sub-Unit Debut Lineup of TWICE, According to a Media Outlet
As TWICE Nayeon successfully completed her solo debut, netizens' and K-pop enthusiasts' attention is focused on who will be the next member to expand her area of activity in the music scene with either a solo or sub-unit release.
In particular, JYP Entertainment announced in June that TWICE would begin individual members and unit activities in earnest, starting with Nayeon's solo album. As a result, it was made clear that the second act of TWICE's activities was opened with the launch of each member's Instagram for the first time since their debut.
Recently, all members of TWICE announced their renewal of the contract with JYP Entertainment, raising expectations that the members will gradually expand in the entertainment scene in the future.
Now, the big question is, "Who will succeed Nayeon, the oldest team member, as a soloist and/or unit?"
Jihyo
According to the Korean media outlet YTN, ONCEs can look forward to TWICE's leader Jihyo's solo activities.
They stated:
"Not only does Jihyo have a completely different tone than Nayeon, but she is also a great singer who can never lose her voice and singing ability. In addition, she recently sang tvN drama 'Twenty-Five Twenty-One' OST 'Stardust Love Song' and received favorable reviews, raising expectations for her solo career following Nayeon."
For sub-unit, there is a great chance that K-pop fans will see the J-Trinity MiSaMo (Mina, Sana, Momo).
"If Mina, who has experience in ballet in the past, Momo, who has the best skills among the main dancers of the same generation girl group, and Sana, who has consistently driven TWICE's popularity, are successful, a heated response is expected."
In addition, quite a few other combinations can be imagined, such as the performance of rappers such as Dahyun x Chaeyoung and duets by friends of the same age such as Jihyo and Jeongyeon. Tzuyu, who has already proved her impressive vocals and stage presence, can also debut as a soloist!
From here, it is the moment when JYP Entertainment's planning power should shine.
Nayeon Sweeps Top Spots in Music Charts With Debut Song 'POP!'
On the other hand, Nayeon who introduced her debut album, "IM NAYEON" on June 24 achieved desired results in two areas: (1) music chart performance and (2) topic through her addictive dance song "POP!"
In particular, if you look at the chart performance alone, Nayeon's "POP!" ranked second on the Melon TOP100 chart and also ranked at the top of major music charts such as Bugs, Genie, and Vibe. This results from word of mouth by actively utilizing continuous music broadcasting activities, web content, and TikTok Challenge.
Nayeon's successful solo career opened the door to other members of TWICE. Right now, TWICE is scheduled to make a comeback on August 26, and other artists from JYP Entertainment are also preparing for a comeback, so it will take some time for Nayeon's turn to return.
