Career highlights: Nayeon's rise to stardom with TWICE
Also known as Im Na-yeon, the South Korean singer gained global fame as a member of TWICE, formed by JYP Entertainment through the reality TV show Sixteen in 2015. In June 2022, she released her first extended play (EP) titled Im Nayeon, which topped the Circle Album Chart and secured seventh place on the US Billboard 200. This achievement made her the first solo South Korean artist to enter this chart's top 10.
Nayeon's early journey into music and entertainment
Her musical journey began in her childhood when she participated in a modeling contest that caught the attention of her current label, JYP. Despite her mother's initial concerns about her age, she secretly auditioned for the agency on September 15, 2010, and was accepted as a trainee. She had initially planned to debut with 6mix, a girl group project by JYPE that eventually didn't materialize.
Meanwhile, a look at TWICE's current group activities
Meanwhile, in group activities, TWICE released the single I Got You on February 2. This song served as the pre-release single from their 13th EP, With You-th, which was launched on February 23 alongside the lead single One Spark. Furthermore, it was announced that the group is set to release their 5th Japanese studio album, coinciding with their special concerts at Yanmar Stadium Nagai and Nissan Stadium, scheduled for July 2024.
