“All members made sure to take the burden off my shoulders”, Nayeon talks about how TWICE supported her solo debut
TWICE, who is about to make a comeback after overcoming Kpop’s 7-year-curse, discuss their feelings during contract renewals and future aspirations
On August 25th, the American music award Grammys (GRAMMY.COM), released an interview with famous girl group TWICE, who is about to release their 11th mini-album “Between 1&2”.
On that day, Nayeon expressed her thoughts about being the first member of TWICE to make a solo debut, saying: “I felt a lot of responsibility by being the first member to launch a solo project. Even though I’M NAYEON was a solo project with my name literally written in the album title, I knew that I’m not only representing myself through this album, but also representing TWICE. Therefore, I felt the obligation to pave a clean, smooth pathway for other members who might be thinking of releasing a solo album in the future. Along my journey as a solo artist, all members of TWICE made sure to take the burden off my shoulders by being supportive and giving me important feedback when I needed their opinions.”
Jeongyeon then introduced TWICE’s upcoming album and said: “We have incorporated retro vibes into the album, since one of the concepts of the album is Y2K. The tracks that embody the retro concept the most are “Talk that Talk” and “Brave.” Even though the styles are different, the tracks are connected under the theme of “the conversation between ONCE and TWICE,” like how the album title Between 1&2 implies.”
“Also, the lyrics of “Talk that Talk” are about trying to get the other person to say everything on his/her mind, which relates to the theme of the music video, where TWICE undergoes the mission to make ONCE say “I LOVE YOU” to TWICE,” she also added.
Momo, meanwhile, described the growth of TWICE as “absolutely magical” and revealed that she also wants to focus on the growth of the group’s fans.
“I love how fans say that our songs remind them of a time and place when they were listening to the song. This relationship between our music and our fans’ memories is something that I want to keep on building going forward,” she said.
Finally, when asked if there is a goal she wants to achieve within the rest of 2022, Sana answered: “I hope all our members can stay healthy, both physically and mentally. The well-being of all nine members is crucial to all of us, as we are so closely connected and are basically a family. We will continue to take good care of ourselves, as well as other members’ to spread the bright energy of TWICE to ONCE all around the world.”
TWICE will release their 11th mini album “Between 1&2” and title song “Talk that Talk” at 1PM *KST) on August 26th. In this album, Jihyo contributed to the lyrics and composition, while Dahyun and Chaeyoung also wrote their own lyrics, adding a flair of TWICE’s unique color.
